Calia lives on the other side of town. She (like Cade) works extremely hard she keeps going; she never slows down. Her mom and dad raised her well with God. That’s not to say they always had good times; of course some times were hard. God had a firm grip on her family. That’s all she has left now; as it should be. Calia took over Mom and Pop’s cafe! In her little town she’s seen many faces; each one has a different story. A sense of belonging seems to be the common theme. Never to judge someone by first appearances no matter how bad it may be. Calia had some much needed upgrades done to the cafe; it was run down for a while but with a little hard work and love; it’s now quite beautiful and cozy! The landscaping is done by the local guy in the neighborhood. If you can’t do it; best believe he could! There’s indoor and outdoor dining with some memories of the past. Mom and Pop’s cafe was once predicted not to last. “Coffee could be bought anywhere” people would say; but mom and pop had some pretty tasty old fashioned recipes. They sell fresh donuts, and baked goods; along with other things; mom and pops has been quite the blessing! Calia works hard and is loyal to those who mean well. She longs for a love like her parents once had. Will she meet Cade? Only time will tell.
