She unwraps the caramel candy
With concentration
The cellophane holds in the sweetness
Until it meets her lips
It melts slowly
And turns to a flat circle
Against the roof of her mouth
She waits until it melts
Then swallows
Savoring the rich creamy finale

Bahaha
Letting the caramel melt? Heresy! The point is it is CHEWY! Then again, as you often say and I often quote: to each his own, as the old lady said when she kissed the cow.
