You pass another swath of trees, head under some low-hanging branches, and when you stand back up, you gasp. Your heart jumps to your throat. There it is: the Heartwood. It seems to be glowing from the inside, emitting its own source of warmth. Its bark is glowing, warm amber. The heat brings its scent, a mix of the most fantastic wood notes you’ve ever smelled, and you begin to run towards it. Just as you reach it, your arm aloft, fingertips straining to touch the magic bark, you awaken from your dream.

People had always underestimated Doris. When she was a kid in her small Southern town, she was teased for wearing hand-me-down clothes and having an old-fashioned name. As she grew up, she was teased for developing early and being a “brainiac” because she joined the mathletes. She learned to hide her body in oversized, boxy sweaters and to hide her face behind oversized, thick-lensed glasses. In college, she was one of the few women studying accounting who stuck it out through the whole program. Even though she was one of the top people in her class, all of her professors and most of her fellow students consistently underestimated her. Undeterred, she pressed forward and graduated as the valedictorian of her program. All she got from her male classmates were rumors that she’d earned this honor, and her grades, through other means.... \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sucreabeille.com\/blogs\/story-vault\/freak-in-the-spreadsheets\"\u003eClick here\u003c\/a\u003e to read the rest of the story!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sucreabeille","offers":[{"title":"1oz \/ Eau de Parfum","offer_id":53351541604652,"sku":null,"price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0216\/4126\/5216\/files\/Photoroom-20240313-235013.jpg?v=1759883430"},{"product_id":"candied-apple-flash-sale","title":"Candied Apple *FLASH SALE*","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Please note, Flash Sale items are not eligible for return\/refund.*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDisclaimer: When we started this line years ago, we had no idea we’d soon enough be in a real pandemic.

Jake, the bartender, was the owner’s son, and although he was probably a good 5-10 years younger than she was, there wasn’t anything wrong with a little flirting, right? He was bartending tonight. Lucky her. She was back in town to visit her parents, and to sleep in her childhood hot pink bedroom, alone. That’s why she was here on Valentine’s night, by herself, drinking her face off. Well, that, and the fact that her boyfriend of five years had just unceremoniously taken the cat and left her. He’d found someone younger, he said. She left the city for the weekend and came down to see her parents and adjust and get out of that cursed apartment for a few days. Well fuck off, Patrick, she thought. I don’t need you anyway. She signaled Jake for another double Vanilla White Russian. Something about a creamy, very strong alcoholic drink with a hearty dose of vanilla just made her feel better. Until the next morning. She wasn’t concerned about tomorrow now. Tomorrow she would wake up alone and hating the world anyway, so might as well throw some vodka on it now and pretend that inevitable future wasn’t coming in mere hours.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhat felt like moments later, she woke up in the corner booth, her hair plastered to her face in a mix of sweat and drool. Geeze, those had been strong drinks. Miraculously, her purse, phone, and credit card were still there. It seemed like someone had put her there to sleep off the drinks; the rest of the bar was dark and totally empty. It was then she noticed Jake, sitting two tables away, staring intently at her. “Oh, good, you’re okay,” he said as she started upwards, nearly smacking her head on the table in the middle of the booth. “I was waiting to make sure you were okay.” Emma smiled. “Well, that’s very lovely, Jake; could you maybe bring me some aspirin and a glass of water?” He leapt up and went behind the bar, filled up a glass, grabbed a bottle of aspirin from under the counter, and came back, sitting across the table from her. She took both gratefully, and chugged the whole glass in just a few gulps. As she set down the glass, Jake grabbed her hands. “I always felt like you and I should be together, Emma. You’re so pretty. You’re so sweet. Let’s go in the back room and make this official.” Emma felt nauseous, and she was pretty sure it wasn’t just the booze. “Jake, you’re sweet, but I should really go home and, like, drink a swimming pool and then go to sleep.” She tried to release her hands, but his grip tightened. Something changed in his face. “Oh, no, Emma, you can’t go. You can’t go. This is our night. Come on,” he said, dragging her out of the booth. Her feet were dragging, slipping on the wet bar floor. “I said NO!” she screamed, yanking her hands out of his, tumbling them both to the floor. She scrambled on all fours to the front door, kicked it open, and hauled ass down the street, as Jake screamed obscenities after her. Never again, she thought, never again will I go into that bar, or any bar like it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eA few years went by. She kept living in the city, and on her trips home, never went to that bar. Eventually, she found out it was out of business. Turns out, Jake had been serving underage kids and not checking IDs, they’d had to pay large fines and lost their liquor license, and Jake did some time in jail before leaving the area for good. Emma knew what she had to do.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eShe convened with some close friends, and they all agreed to buy the bar and go in on a woman-owned, operated, and staffed bar that would be welcoming and non-threatening to all. A few months later, the Broken Heart was born. It was popular almost from the moment the doors opened, thanks in large part to being the only bar in town, now. But they relished having a space where people, especially women, could feel safe and have fun.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThey’d been open about a year when the thing Emma was most nervous about happened: Jake showed up to the Broken Heart, already drunk, right before closing on Valentine’s Day. Because she wasn’t an idiot, she always had her girls close the bar in teams, and made them all leave together. But tonight, she was alone out front. Melissa had had to leave early because she wasn’t feeling well, and she’d sent Cameron home not long before since it was so quiet. She hadn’t been worried about herself, alone in the bar she was part-owner of. Now, the fear was real.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eJake sat at the bar and sneered at her as she served the remaining customers, a couple on their third date that was clearly going well. She tried to be cordial to him, but he ordered his drink and didn’t say another word. She casually picked up her phone and texted an SOS message to her staff members. The couple left. It was just her and Jake. She’d slipped a little paring knife into her pocket when he wasn’t looking, just to be safe, but she didn’t even see him coming. He dove at her over the bar, grabbing her by the neck. Emma somehow managed to grab the knife and jammed it into his side, blood dripping down onto her hand. Suddenly, a bottle smashed over Jake’s head, and then another. Down he went onto the floor, his head cut open spectacularly. Emma gasped and tried to breathe as Cameron came to console her. “Breathe, breathe, you’re okay, I’m here,” Cameron said. Emma’s mouth was a mix of strawberry and blood, and to her surprise, it tasted delicious. She licked his blood off her hand, and smiled.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFrom that night forward, all problem customers were dealt with discreetly in the back room. Their limited edition cocktail, the Bleeding Heart, became a local staple. Sure, there were some strange rumors about the place that circulated, but if anything, they added to the appeal. The Broken Heart was more popular, and better for the community, than Emma could have ever imagined. Her cold, black heart wasn’t broken any more.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWant to keep reading?

He was in his mid-forties now, and sure, his hairline had receded a little, and yeah, his waistline had grown, but he was still a good-looking man. He wasn’t Humphrey Bogart, but nobody else could look as good as that man, so why should that stop Bob from trying to meet a lady friend or two? He was just passing through, staying in a motel just down the street from the bar, and he’d seen what looked like an endless parade of attractive women entering and leaving the bar down the road with nary a man in sight. They often walked out arm in arm, a way to keep themselves safe after leaving such an establishment after dark, Bob reckoned. “Must be smart girls who go to this bar,” he mumbled to himself. “Well, as smart as a woman can be.” Oh, that’s right: Bob was already drunk alone in his room. He’d grabbed some bottles on his way into town as he was pretty certain his cheap motel in this stretch of nothing wouldn’t have a bar. He was right. If only he could pace himself; if only he wasn’t on the road for work so much; if only he wasn’t a perennial bachelor; if only; if only; if only….\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStumbling out the door and directly into the parking lot, Bob sobered up temporarily in the frigid air. It was 9pm on February 14th, 1955, and absolutely freezing outside. The sidewalk was icy, and Bob had to walk very deliberately not to slip, fall, and break a bone or two. It was a delicate dance, but the bar wasn’t too far, and the prospect of a room full of beautiful women (and more alcohol) was too enticing to skip for another night. In fact, he could see two women walking up to the bar right now, a blonde and a brunette. Perfect; he loved options. He hurried up his pace, wobbling slightly. Bob was aware it was Valentine’s Day, though he wasn’t exactly a romantic fellow. Maybe the holiday was part of the appeal of trying to find someone to spend the night with on that specific night. If he was capable of self-examination, he’d realize that was exactly why he felt more lonely than usual, but as that level of self-reflection wasn’t a possibility for him even when he was sober, the thought was never more than a quick blip passing through his subconscious mind. All he could consciously think about was having a hot dame by his side and a cold drink in his hand. What else could he possibly need tonight, or any other night for that matter? Plus, as a traveling salesman, he could turn on the charm and schmooze anyone in his sight, according to him.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter what seemed like an eternity in the freezing cold, he finally reached the door of the bar. Opening the door, he felt a sudden blast of warm air, and he could have cried with relief, though he had been outside for under ten minutes. “Bourbon!” he yelled out as he crossed the threshold and stumbled face first into the closest barstool. When he regained his balance and properly sat down, he finally took a moment to look around him. He expected to see the place packed full of proper dames, maybe a few gents he had missed coming in while scoping the place out. To his utter surprise, he was the only one in the small, rather cramped bar. There were four empty stools down the length of the bar, and at the end, he saw what appeared to be a storage room with swinging saloon doors for semi-privacy. There were two or three tables behind him, a rather large bookcase in the back right corner, and a men’s bathroom in the back left corner. That was it. He couldn’t see anyone behind the bar. Bob’s brow furrowed. “Hello?” he blurted out. “Anyone here to give me bourbon?” Bob looked around, craning his head. Nothing. Nobody. No blonde, brunette, nor even a redhead in sight. He just saw two women walk in here, what, five minutes before he did? Where could they be? He stood up, gripping the bartop, starting to lean over the bar to check and see if someone had fallen or had a horrible accident on the job when he heard a gruff voice behind him. “Someone ask for bourbon?”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBob startled, slipped, and could feel himself falling when a rough pair of hands caught him around the waist. “Whoa, easy tiger,” the same gruff voice said as it guided him down onto the stool. “You’ll be just fine.” The hand patted his shoulder then walked behind the bar. To Bob’s surprise, it was a woman, though you would be hard pressed to recognize her as a woman unless you were right up in her face, which Bob had been for just a moment. She was clearly very strong, though she was visibly older than Bob. Her hair was cut short like a man. Under the presumably men’s coveralls with a name patch saying “Sam,” he could see the outline of her biceps. Her nails were unvarnished; she wasn’t wearing jewelry nor a speck of makeup. Bob liked his women svelte yet curvy, delicate, with an appropriate amount of flattering makeup and well-kept, neat hair. This woman was none of those things, but she did have access to bourbon, so Bob decided to keep his mouth shut, at least until he had his liquor in hand. Then he might have to tell her to at least put on some lipstick to make herself presentable. He did notice her lack of wedding ring, so clearly she needed some advice. “Where is everyone?” he managed to ask while she reached for a bottle of bourbon. She ignored him. “Straight or rocks? One or two fingers?” she asked, holding a bottle of Kentucky bourbon aloft. “Straight up. No time or need for ice,” he said, holding two fingers up. She gave a small nod, grabbed a glass, and poured. “Enjoy,” she said as she slid it across the counter to Bob. He picked it up, knocked half of it back, paused, then took the rest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“I see you really aren’t messing around tonight,” she said. “I’m assuming you’ll have another?” Bob nodded. As she started to pour again, he finally asked her name. “You can call me Sam,” she said. “This is my bar. Did you just get into town? Haven’t seen you here before.” “Yeah,” Bob said. “I’m a bit of a traveling salesman. I travel through most towns selling insurance and sometimes vacuums door-to-door, so if you happen to need either of those things, I’m all ears.” Bob picked up his freshly filled glass and took a swig. Sam remained silent, watching him closely. “I was s’posed to leave tomorrow and head up into the city, but the ladies around here have been so good looking, I might extend my trip.” He took another sip. “Present company excluded, no offense,” Bob said before finishing the glass. Sam smirked. “No offense taken; you’re not exactly my type, either, bud.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe laugh he let out surprised him with its intensity and how genuine it seemed to be. “You’re funny, Sam. I don’t usually find women funny. As a whole, your sex isn’t funny, but that was good.” Sam’s smirk didn’t move an inch. “Huh. Interesting. Well, glad you find me so amusing. Maybe that means you’ll leave me a big tip?” “Not a chance,” Bob said, tapping the glass on the counter. “I’ll take another.” Sam nodded, poured another two fingers, and he slammed that down before standing up. Well, wobbling up, really. “I expect this to be refilled by the time I get back,” he said as he stood up and stumbled to the men’s restroom. Right as he started to do his business, he heard the front door of the bar open and the distinct chatter of several women’s voices. “Finally,” he muttered. “I’ll get to meet a dame.” But by the time he came out again, it was just Sam behind the bar, no other people in sight. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Where the hell do all the girls keep going?” he yelled as he emerged from the bathroom. “You hidin’ them somewhere, Sam?” Sam didn’t answer; she was too busy pouring something out of a cocktail shaker into Bob’s glass. “Hey, I didn’t ask for anything fancy here,” he said. “I like my bourbon plain and my women hot, and it looks like I’m not getting either one right now.” He frowned as he sat on the stool, noticing how the world tilted sharply as he did so. “Yeah, not sure how many more drinks I can serve you, so I figured you should try our signature drink before you’re done.” Bob picked up the glass and sniffed it. “What’s all this? Smells like a cocktail for a woman who can’t hold her liquor. Which’s my favorite type of woman, really,” Bob said. Sam nodded. “Kind of. It’s my take on an Old Fashioned, but a slightly sweeter version with homemade vanilla bitters and brown sugar. We call it the Iron Heart, after the bar. It’s delicious, goes down smooth, but it’ll knock you on your ass if you’re not careful.” She smiled. “Like a hot dame, if you will.” Bob smiled. “Now you’re speaking my language,” he said. Bob took a careful sip. “Hey now, that’s not so bad,” Bob said, the smile still on his face. “I could get used to this.” He took another, larger sip and looked around. “Now, Sam, I could have sworn I heard other women’s voices in this bar. In fact, I know I saw them coming in shortly before I arrived. Where could they possibly be?” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSam looked mildly amused. “What, no interest in little ol’ me?” Bob laughed, clutching his stomach, and had to abruptly stop as the room started to spin. “No, sweetheart, and you already knew that. I like my ladies feminine, thanks. And younger. The younger, the better, in fact.” Sam shuddered at that while she watched Bob take another sip of his drink. “Well, the ladies who come in here are all part of a reading club that meets in our back room. They’re all busy discussing books. Are you much of a reader?” Bob scoffed. “Absolutely not. Reading is for pansies and women with too little sense and too much time on their hands, all those romance novels filling their heads with slop.” “I figured as much,” Sam said, leaning against the bar. “Well, maybe you need one more drink before you head back to wherever you came from?” Before Bob could answer, Sam started making him another Iron Heart. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt that moment, a very attractive woman walked in the door with a book under her arm. “Hey!” she said as she stepped behind the bar and gave Sam a kiss on the cheek. She looked and saw Bob and startled slightly, but composed herself quickly. “Oh! Hello, sir. Please excuse me; I’m meeting my book club in the back.” “Go ahead, Joan; you know the way,” Sam said as she continued making the drink. “Hi! I’m Bob,” he said and stuck out his hand, but Joan just passed him by and headed for the bookcase. Bob turned to look at Sam, and when he turned around again to tell Joan what a rude bitch he thought she was, she was gone. He could swear the bookcase was moving slightly, but then again, turning his head twice in quick succession had made the entire room roll around on an invisible axis, so he couldn’t be sure. His head started pounding. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“This is my bar,” Sam suddenly started talking while she mixed the bitters and brown sugar in the shaker. “It’s called the Iron Heart because I’m a vet. I’ve had to do the right things, even when they were the hard thing to do, my whole life. My father passed and I took over and renamed this bar a few years ago, which was great timing, because I needed to change my life.” Bob’s head grew heavy, and he rested his head on his hands on the bar. “Did you work with animals or were you in the military?” “They started allowing women to join the medical teams in the military in 1943 during the war. That was more than ten years ago now, somehow.” She added ice and then started pouring the bourbon into the shaker, but instead of shaking, began stirring. She reached out and grabbed Bob’s glass. “I was a nursing student. I volunteered and went into the war. It was my patriotic duty, and I don’t regret it. But war is scary, and extremely hard, especially as a woman living abroad helping with injured soldiers. It was hell for them, but it wasn’t much better for us.” She stopped stirring and looked off into the distance for a minute. “Women deal with so much more than you understand every single day.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShe continued to stare for so long that Bob sat up straight and looked at her. “Toots, I’ll keep listening, but you gotta get me more liquor to keep me interested.” Sam snapped out of it and started pouring the drink, making sure no ice made it into the glass itself. “Sorry, yeah. It’s not only men who have war flashbacks. Anyway, when I came home, I was a veteran who went back to school and became a veterinarian. You could say that I’m a double vet.” She smiled at her little joke, one she had clearly made many times before, and slid the nearly full glass to him. Bob took it and greedily started drinking. “But being a veterinarian is difficult in a similar way. You have to make tough choices and treat patients who can’t tell you what’s wrong with them. You have to regularly end the lives of sweet, innocent animals. It’s not easy. It’s not for the faint of heart. Lots of people get into it thinking they’ll get to just play with puppies all day, but it is an extremely hard job emotionally, and also physically. Sometimes, it takes an iron heart to do what’s right.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe drink was tremendous. He knew she probably wouldn’t serve him more and he tried his hardest to sip, but his vices were bourbon and women, and technically, at this moment, he had both. The vanilla, the bourbon, the brown sugar, and the faintest bit of metal from the shaker combined was just heaven in his mouth. He could tell he was getting drunker than he usually did, and that was a pretty high bar to clear, but he could feel himself sailing over it with ease. Maybe he could convince Sam to slide him just one, maybe two, no more than four more of these drinks….\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe stood up, stumbled, and mumbled something to Sam about having one more before heading into the bathroom again. Again, the moment he started doing his business, he heard more women’s voices. Unfortunately, he had so much to drink he had to take his time, and once again when he made his way back into the bar, it was empty. This time, however, he saw the bookcase moving. He didn’t even say anything to Sam, just charged at the bookcase. It didn’t move. He started pulling books off, until finally he discovered a secret book that opened the bookcase like a proper door. It *was* a door! A door to a room full of women! What an excellent bar this Iron Heart place was. He was just reminding himself to stay in town a few extra days when he realized what he was actually looking at, because this was no book club. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“HARLOTS! BULLDAGGERS!” he yelled at the women, who jumped apart and turned in surprise to see the interruption of this random man into their private space. Jane, was that her name? Jean? Joan? Whoever she was, she leapt off the lap of another woman and smoothed her skirt and hair as she walked over to Bob. “Sir, this is a women-only private party. Please do us the courtesy of leaving.” Bob started laughing. “I could tell Sam was one of you; I knew it, but I didn’t think women who looked like you would be like THIS!” “Who’s Sam?” Joan asked, confused. Bob ignored her. “This goes against nature! You all just need a real man to show you the truth and what you’re missing!” The blonde and brunette he’d seen walk in together earlier continued to quietly kiss in the corner. The brunette gave him the finger as he continued to rant. The rest of the women were quietly moving in on him, closer, and closer. Bob wasn’t afraid, though; they were just women, and queer ones at that! No threat at all. “I’m going to report you to the authorities. This is a den of sin! Disgusting!” That’s when he felt a sharp pain on the back of his head, his vision went dark, and he crumpled forward onto the floor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe sunlight woke him up. Blinking, feeling like he’d been run over by several trucks, Bob opened his eyes. He was on his side, a pillow under his head, a blanket on him, a glass of water nearby, and a bucket next to that glass. The hangover and the blow to the head combined to give him an absolutely blinding headache, and he sat up gingerly to drink the water. That’s when he realized he wasn’t in his motel room. He was in the back room of … what was this place called? The bar he went to last night, the room where the women had been, ick, together. But the couches and chairs and tables were all gone. The bookcase that formed a door? No sign of it. The room was spinning, but Bob had to get up, because this was all wrong. He stood up quickly, heaved, and kept moving. He went into the smaller bar room, but it was completely empty. Bob was perplexed. What the hell happened here? He checked the stock room with its swinging doors; empty. The bar and stools and bottles of liquor were all gone. He paced around between the two rooms, completely confused.

It’ll take them a while to get to us, since they all live on dead-end streets.” She started laughing almost without meaning to because of the absurdity of the situation and just how awful the jokes were. “What were the odds that we’d find ourselves in this situation? This is absurd. A zombie apocalypse caused by pumpkin spice. Who wrote this up? I blame them entirely.” “As you should,” Kevin said. “It’s probably marketing material, too. People love Halloween and zombies for entertainment purposes. They go crazy for this stuff starting in, like, July every year. They’re crazy for autumn and anything to do with it, like falling leaves and pumpkins of all sorts. That’s how we got into this mess in the first place: pumpkin spice.

In a time of global sickness and unrest, a locally owned bar and restaurant in a small town had it rough, but they were determined to stay open. They’d had to pivot to a totally takeaway-based system, implemented and learned a whole new point of sale that predominantly took online and mobile orders, and they were really kept afloat by their state allowing customers to buy alcoholic beverages that they could take to-go. Emma and her friends had opened the bar years back, and over time, she’d bought out her friends until it was just her and her partner, Alex, running the place. They’d sadly had to furlough 90% of the staff, and they themselves worked day in, day out, doing everything. By the time the world was opening back up again, they were exhausted. And then, of course, everything shut back down again as the world kept being ravaged by disease. At least that kept the police from coming and snooping around every so often. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThey shut the Broken Heart down for a few days to discuss the future. They’d had a man, Kevin Knox, stop by several times over the last year. He was offering to buy the bar and the land around it for a hefty price. It was about two weeks until Valentine’s Day, traditionally their busiest season, but without the supplies to make their famous drink, the Bleeding Heart, and not being able to be open to the general public, they were losing money every day. (Whenever customers asked why they couldn’t have one, they’d respond with, “Supply chain issues,” which was technically the truth.) What could they possibly do? Keep on fighting the good fight and rebel against The Man (literally and figuratively)? Or should they cash out now while they can and make some money and finally have some time to relax with one less thing to worry about? But the man who had offered to buy the place was a notorious mafioso. He’d swept into town a few years ago with a reputation of “turning towns around,” but he was becoming infamous for buying up local places and turning them into subpar chains, or buying land and then getting caught up in red tape so thick he just gave up and the buildings would sit empty. Or, he would flip the land for an even larger sum of money, leaving the original owners feeling like they got screwed over. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHe wasn’t actually in the mafia, as he was too crude to even be a member of such an organization. Nobody seemed to like the man, he just had tons of money and took advantage of people who had been working hard all their lives and were still poor. It was upsetting and against their moral code, and yet, the thought of taking the money and moving or just going on an extravagant vacation was so tempting. They understood why so many people they had known forever had given up their businesses to such a man. Plus, the more they held out, the more money he kept offering. Currently, the offer was more than they could ever fathom earning from owning the restaurant, or running any possible business, or working anywhere else. The temptation had been real, and after the past few weeks of slower-than-usual-even-during-terrible-times business, it was now nearly irresistible. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eEmma’s heart was heavy, so Alex went behind the bar and whipped up a new drink just to cheer her up. It was based on Emma’s favorite, absolutely decadent dessert: Black Forest cake. “Think of it as cake you can drink,” Alex said as they set it down gently in front of Emma. She gleefully picked it up, took a sip, then chugged the whole thing down before setting the glass down and yelling, “Another!” (If she hadn’t owned the place, she would’ve smashed the glass for emphasis.) Alex laughed, took the glass, and went back behind the bar to whip up a large batch they could sell as a special for the days leading up to Valentine’s Day. Alex even had the perfect name: the Heavy Heart, based on the heftiness of the cake that gave the drink its flavor, and the heavy hearts they were currently carrying. It was also heavy on the booze, but that was not a surprise. After mixing up a bulk batch, taking some stylized photos of two Heavy Hearts, and making an informal price for the drink, Alex came back with one for each of them. “I think these would be a fantastic special for the next two weeks, through Valentine’s Day,” they said to Emma. Emma grabbed her glass, chugged half of it, and nodded. “We need to invite Kevin in to talk to him about his proposal,” she said. “We seriously need to consider his offer. We’re running out of funds; we can’t keep working ourselves to the bone for nothing.” Alex nodded, and picked up the phone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe next day, Kevin Knox showed up at the door of the Broken Heart, holding an ostentatiously shiny leather briefcase. He was not a young man, and his face was etched with wrinkles that made his face seem permanently mean. It looked like he was incapable of smiling. His white hair was patchy; his suit was ill-fitting. He certainly didn’t look like an extremely wealthy man, but then again, the truly wealthy people usually don’t flaunt their wealth. Before they could even greet him properly, he started in. “It’s about time I heard from you, I’ve never had to work this hard to get someone to give up their worthless business before!” Both Emma and Alex were taken aback. He continued. “Wow, look at this dump. You’ll be so happy when it’s gone and you have lots of money. Of course, not as much money as I have, and I’ll get even richer when I sell this place myself, but you don’t have to concern yourselves with all that.” He walked over to the closest booth to sit down. “Is it safe to sit here? It looks … disgusting,” he said while sitting down anyway. Emma and Alex were furious. They liked that their place was a local dive bar, and they did keep it quite clean, but it’s not like they could afford to replace the booths when they could barely afford to stay open. “Thanks for coming,” Emma said quietly. “We just wanted to talk to you more about what you’re proposing, exactly, for buying this place from us.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e“Well, if I bought this place and wanted to keep it going, I’d use your back parking lot and set up a whole little outdoor situation there with portable heaters and a large canopy without the sides on so you could have a whole experience back there. I’d bring back that drink you’re known for, and I’d raise the prices of everything. That’s what you should’ve done to stay open, but nobody brings me in unless they’re going to sell. So I’m going to raze this place to the ground, buy the surrounding properties and land, and then sell it all to a mega online corporation so they can put in a warehouse here. They don’t have one in this area, and this would be a prime location,” he said with a wink. “You don’t mind, do you? Why keep this charade up? Just sell to me. I’ll give you the amount upfront, in cash, and you could offload this place today.” He opened his briefcase; Alex could swear they saw a faint yellow glow from inside as he took out a pad of paper and a pen. He ripped off a piece of paper, wrote something down, then folded the paper in half and placed it in front of Emma and Alex. Emma opened it and her eyes popped out of her head. It was an obscene amount of money, nearly as obscene as the man seated across the booth from her. She passed the paper to Alex, who nearly burst out laughing from just seeing that amount of money written down. Kevin looked pleased. “Something tells me we might have a deal,” he said smugly. Then, Emma felt his hand under the table on her knee, his other hand covering both of her hands. “I think we could have a beautiful, wonderful friendship, darling,” he said straight to Emma with a raise of his eyebrows. Emma slapped his hands away and stood up abruptly. “Alex, perhaps we should take Mr. Knox into our supply room to show him around and gather some paperwork,” she said a little too loudly. “Please follow me,” she said to Kevin, and he followed her like a puppy. Alex grinned and followed behind, locking the door behind them. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eA few days later, the Broken Heart announced on their social media that they’d be hosting a grand reopening on Valentine’s Day weekend, rain or shine, with a brand new drink special called the Heavy Heart, and the return of their infamous Bleeding Heart, all on their revamped “back patio” aka the parking lot. They’d bought a huge canopy tent, patio furniture, standing heaters, lights, even made an outdoor bar area to make it easier to serve people. It turned into an absolutely gorgeous space, and in the days leading up, they posted all over their social media to let the world know that the Broken Heart was back and better than ever. Indeed, that weekend, they were absolutely packed. Their regulars were thrilled to see the place doing so well, and both drink specials were a huge hit. All the Valentine’s dates were out in full force, and their supply chain issues seemed to resolve themselves for the time being at least. The gossip on the patio was about Kevin Knox reportedly having left town in a hurry due to some bad business deals, and everyone expressed how happy they were that their favorite place was still standing and hadn’t caved like so many others had. As the weeks progressed, Alex and Emma were able to hire back their staff, keep the business open, and make plans for an expansion and a proper patio. After all, they’d just bought the empty lot next door, so there was plenty of room to make the Broken Heart the biggest and best place in town … no matter what it took to do so.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003eScent Notes: Decadent black forest cake with brown sugar, juicy cherries, and a hearty splash of cherry kirsch.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sucreabeille","offers":[{"title":"1oz \/ Eau de Parfum","offer_id":53351637745964,"sku":null,"price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0216\/4126\/5216\/files\/Photoroom-20240310_162435.jpg?v=1759883235"},{"product_id":"nostrum-flash-sale","title":"Nostrum *FLASH SALE*","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e*Please note, Flash Sale items are not eligible for return\/refund.*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhat is a Nostrum, exactly?

Water was a precious resource, and Barbardia’s brigade was renowned for their ability to keep her people fed, housed, and hydrated. They had formed their own society, albeit one that was a bit rough and tumble, but her people were safe, and that’s what mattered.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBarbardia herself was known as a great beauty, though not in a traditional sense. She was pure muscle from her chin to her toes. Her skin was always perfectly clear, and people joked that her blonde hair was so shiny and pure that it reflected the sun, so her brigade could always find her. Of course, this also made it easier for her enemies to spot her, but this was hardly a concern to her. She had no fear of other warriors, for she was the strongest of them all. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNaturally, her second in command, Xylon, was by her side. He was the one responsible for her haircare and skincare routines, and he happened to be a gigantic pile of scary-looking muscle himself. He was big, loud, and fabulous, and just as respected as Barbardia. Which was good, because if anybody crossed either one of them, the other was there to enact swift vengeance. Xylon was also the descendant of one of the greatest warriors, who just so happened to be skilled in haircare, and taught everything he knew to his son, who taught those skills to his daughter, etc., until they reached Xylon. They were destined to be friends and warriors long before either one was born.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eToday, she charged forward with her best combatants, Xylon by her side, as they all surprised a band of outlaws they’d found in their travels. They were on a mission for water, food, and supplies, and these unlucky outlaws just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Screaming and taking everyone by surprise, Barbardia and her crew advanced. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIn short order, the outlaws were rounded up in the middle of their encampment, begging and pleading for their lives. Barbardia herself had wrapped them all up thoroughly with rope, forming a giant bandit bundle. Barbardia had a few of her brigade collect the tears of their enemies in jars, not allowing a drop to be wasted. One of them cried out, “Why are you doing this to us? Are you going to kill us? Why would you save our tears, you crazy barbarian bitch?!” The rest of the brigade became a chorus of “Oohs!” “Oh no he did NOT say that,” Xylon cried out, as Barbardia just laughed. “We have a moral code in my brigade, which you are all now part of,” she answered calmly. “We will desalinate your tears and use them for drinking water back in our city. We keep our people fed and hydrated. It’s also an overly elaborate and ritualistic tear collection to signify your absorption into your new collective, aka, you are now part of our group and your tears being drunk by everyone forms a bond. You get it.” She waved a hand dismissively.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eXylon stepped ahead of Barbardia and butted in. “But I’ll be saving some for Barbardia’s hair. Salt water is fantastic for your hair, you know. It is an excellent exfoliator and also stimulates blood flow in the scalp. This ensures that more nutrients get to the hair follicles, which results in healthier hair. Salt has anti-fungal properties and helps get rid of fungus-induced dandruff by reducing moisture. You don’t think her hair just looks this good on its own, do you? I WORK on her hair like I work on this body, thank you.” He reached out and flicked her long blonde locks, eliciting a swirl of “You go girl,” and “Killin’ it, your eminence,” from the brigade, and even a few of their newly captured members. Barbardia gently placed a hand on Xylon’s shoulder and nudged him back a foot. “Okay, thank you for that, but I’m trying to set some expectations, okay? We can do my hair later.” Xylon nodded and shot the man who had mouthed off a long look. “Honey, I’ll be watching you closely,” he said as he strode off. Barbardia caught the man checking out Xylon for a moment before turning his head down to the ground, his cheeks reddened. That night, they feasted in celebration and ate and drank around a gigantic bonfire. The following morning, they began the trek back home.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eScent Notes: Salt water and greenery, tendrils of smoke wafting overhead hint at a slight note of metal in the air.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sucreabeille","offers":[{"title":"1oz \/ Eau de Parfum","offer_id":53351643709740,"sku":null,"price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0216\/4126\/5216\/files\/Tears_of_my_Enemies.jpg?v=1759883165"},{"product_id":"heck-puppy-flash-sale","title":"Heck Puppy *FLASH SALE*","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e*Please note, Flash Sale items are not eligible for return\/refund.*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCharlotte had been begging her mom, Marilyn, for months for a puppy. “It’s nearly my tenth birthday; I can take care of him!” She had announced this to her mom several times a day since the week after she turned nine. Her mom worked two jobs, and money and time were extremely tight. “I tell you every day, we can’t afford a puppy,” she said while tucking Charlotte in for bed. “I’m sure you could take care of one; I have the utmost faith in you. But between you going to school and then after school care and then to grandma’s house, I’m worried about the puppy being alone all the time. You know that’s not fair to a helpless dog.” Charlotte sighed and nodded gently. “I know momma. I would love it a lot, though.” Marilyn’s eyes filled with tears. “I know you would, sweetheart.

Everyone always cursed him to eternal darnation every time they discovered the last chicken wing was gone, or the toilet seat was left up. He always laughed it off. He never committed any real sins.

When she finally went back to the office, her performance slipped significantly, and now, nearly three months later, she was on a “formal retraining program” at work that basically meant “get your shit together or you’re fired, lady.” And, in that depressive state in which she was still living, she couldn’t get herself to take care of her apartment or her body. Takeout containers and dirty dishes littered the kitchen; clean and dirty clothes mingled over every surface in the bedroom. The half of the bed where her boyfriend had slept was now covered in a mixture of opened bags of chips and packages of cookies, clothes, a TV remote, a “personal remote,” candy wrappers, books, an empty wine bottle, and all sorts of other random things.

We’re such big fans of going outside for a walk on a brisk fall day, leaves crunching under foot, breathing in hints of spicy air. Maybe take the long way back home, pass by that old cemetery and head in for a stroll to look at the beautiful old headstones. They just don’t make them like they used to, with resplendent carvings and incredible inscriptions, to remind us that there’s beauty in both life and death. Take a long circle around the oldest part of the cemetery, admiring the falling leaves and the setting sun. Wow, yeah, the sun is setting quickly tonight; best scoot out and back home. Except … where did the path go? Huh, ok, better double back and … no, no path there, either. Now the sun is setting even faster, there’s just minutes of daylight left. No need for a path, just start running toward what must be the front of the cemetery, though there’s no way to check because somehow the phone is dead. All of the beautiful tombstones seem to keep repeating themselves, like running in a circle around and around the same spot. How did this happen? There must be a way out; there was a way in, after all! But no; the circle keeps getting smaller, until it’s just doing small laps around the same area. Gasping for breath, collapsing on the ground, there’s a sudden note of smoke in the air. Breathe in, breathe out; calm down. There must be an explanation … and that’s when the scent of blood hits your nose, and you know for sure that you’re not going home ever again.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eScent Notes: Milk and honey, gunsmoke, sparkling cardamom, a hint of coppery blood.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sucreabeille","offers":[{"title":"1oz \/ Eau de Parfum","offer_id":53351731265836,"sku":null,"price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0216\/4126\/5216\/files\/Autumn_Delicious.png?v=1767916469"},{"product_id":"hoarfrost-flash-sale","title":"Hoarfrost *FLASH SALE*","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e*Please note, Flash Sale items are not eligible for return\/refund.*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScent Notes: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSnow covered spruce, paper, crushed cardamom pods, peppermint candy, spicy sweet vanilla, taking a deep breath and all of your nose hairs freeze and amyris wood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis scent was Day 12 in our Yule Advent Calendar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen the rosemary bush in your front yard grows a thin little beard, it's called Hoarfrost.

The trees had all shed their leaves, and the snow came and went in drifts these days, but inside, a fire cracked in the elaborate hearth on the east wall. Juliet turned to Margaret beside her, who sat primly, all in black, full skirt with a high lace collar that buttoned delicately all the way up her throat. \"Margret,\" Juliet said, \"Tell me about this new volume of botany discoveries you received from your uncle in Oxford.\" So Margaret launched into the thrilling new findings she had read from Marianne North's new book, and Juliet sipped her tea and listened closely, giving small exclamations of curiosity here and there. As they discussed their ideas about the book, little curls of incense danced around them and the candles in the room burned down as the hours passed.

You dig around in a sack of apples and hold your hand out flat, then wipe the slobber on your pants. You scoop up some grain and delight in the smells around you. As you pass by the tack stall, you impulsively decide to pick up a brush and get to work on the day's dust and sweat. What the heck, you are only here for a few days. You pick out the reins and begin tacking up. As you slide your foot into the stirrup, the sun has just barely dipped below the vast horizon, and at first you just trot around a little, getting warmed up, feeling the saddle, but soon you break into a canter and cool air breezes past, the hoof beats rhythmic under you.

The relief on their faces when they realized their mistake was always so genuine it was almost funny. Lloyd himself was much-loved within his community, who envied his skills.

Lloyd was perpetually single, and didn’t seem interested in dating. Many of the local women offered to set him up with their daughters, or nieces, or even themselves, but he always graciously turned them down, saying he didn’t have time for romance. He lived in a small apartment above his shop, which was extremely convenient for him. It was fairly simple, but he considered himself a fairly simple man.
