An impeccable narrative. I sincerely congratulate @gaby-crb and her great talent.
First I must say that the smell of coffee, freshly made, aromatizing the house is a wonder to start the day. Just the smell !!
I would keep the first final (Timeline A). The narrative is suspenseful and catches the reader with a very subtle vanilla flavor. Best regards @calluna. Thank you for sharing this beautiful narrative text.
