Simon meanders through Charbel Chocolatiers searching for the perfect heart shaped box for Ruby. He remembers she likes dark chocolate; she hates white.

As he carries the present up to the register, he grabs his wallet from his Levi’s and fingers through his cash. He should have just enough money to ...
