He told me I tasted like black coffee and kiwi.

I am Leesa. A brown-eyed Kentucky girl & a writer of fictions. INFJ, a highly sensitive person, an empath. Sometimes I write about makeup and baseball and books and life and stuff over at LeesaCrossSmith.com & there's a detailed list of my work over here. I'm also co-founder and editor over at WhiskeyPaper. I write reviews for The Review Review & Female Gaze Review & some other places too. And here's my goodreads page. Yes, yes y'all.
