My dearest,

You tell me that the new bag of coffee beans you bought, romantically called Moonstone, is part of a series called the Jewel collection.

You’re curious what other stones they have. Perhaps Diamond or Ruby or even Sapphire, I say.

Maybe, you agree.

Perhaps Emerald or Amethyst. Garnet or Opal.

Yes, maybe.

You can try the Moonstone first, I suggest, then try the other jewels in the series, other coffee beans.

But you, my dearest, are the most precious jewel of them all.

Yours, ever and always.
