Love lost and then found again always makes for a good story, and you've told it well.
Very nice dialog, especially during sex. No silly sounds. The theme is always good, young love re-found. Two people recovering from a bad experience. If I was him I might have been a bit careful about restarting with someone who dumped me. Under the circumstances it was understandable but it still had to hurt. Her comment, "You never wrote back" was rather stupid and insensitive. She never really answers his reply "I took it that I'd lost you.". She tells her story of a failed marriage but never apologizes. She should have. Nothing huge, maybe "I would have been far better off if I had stuck with you. I'm sorry.". Having just been burned by his wife abandoning him I would think that Linda's past action might have been a touchy spot. Beyond that their new romance was fun and erotic. Nice work.
A very well written, feel good story. And the coffee was great too
