#79 - DAY 07 - Sweetest Countdown

Lily bounces out of bed with one thought: Today is Chocolate Day!

She’d marked it on the Easter Countdown like a national holiday—glitter, bold letters, the works. So it’s no surprise she tiptoes into the kitchen, opens the cupboard… and gasps.

Gone. Every single piece. Not even a lonely little chocolate egg left behind.

“Charlie…” she whispers, eyes wide. The dog glances up, looking mildly guilty—but let’s be honest, he’s way too short to reach that shelf.

Then a voice echoes from the hallway: “Looking for this?”

Ben stands there, holding a box full of chocolate bunnies and eggs—one already halfway to his mouth.

Lily narrows her eyes. “Seriously? Trying to ruin Chocolate Day?” But five minutes and two chocolate bunnies later, all is forgiven. Coffee’s warm, the chocolate is flowing, and Lily is reminded: when counting down to Easter, always count your chocolate.
