Cooper, Cori – Darby’s Cafe

August 30, 2025 · In: 19th

It’s all Jackson Wilcox’s fault!

Darby works at a small-town cafe and takes business classes in her free time. Not because she wants to. Because she has to. Over a year ago, her dreams and her confidence were crushed to meringue powder by a well-known food critic who wrote a scathing review about her restaurant. Because of him, everything fell apart, and Darby had to return to her hometown to pick up all the crumbs and try to make something edible. It just feels so dang hard to start over.

In the meantime, she’d love it if she could catch the eye of the hottie at the cafe who comes in every day at the same time for breakfast. If she can work up the courage to talk to him, that just might mean she can work up the courage to try again with her restaurant.

Because more than anything, she wants to show that stupid Jackson Wilcox that he was wrong about her.
