SUGAR ON THE LIPS
From the wife of the shopkeeper to Conchita the redhead, and from Jesus the shoemaker to Roberto the school principal, all, without exception, woke up with a lump of sugar on the tip of their tongues. The only ones who realized what had happened, however, were the ones who kissed each other in the morning.
