Salt and Sugar

By Nile Foxx

Like many modern love stories, Talia and Brian Krites met in a bar. They quickly married and had children, putting pressure on their young relationship. This culminated in an extramarital affair.

After a few years of turmoil, amends were made and the couple learned to love again.

Today, the Krites own a successful bakery, The Flour Girls Café and Bakery, in downtown Elizabeth City. It has become a symbol of their family and the love they share. The bakery has helped their relationship heal and grow to be stronger than it ever was before.

“If something serious didn’t happen in our marriage, I think the love would have just faded … I know it sounds weird, but it saved our marriage.”
