What is the interaction between Green-Flame Blade and Absorb elements

Green-Flame Blade States:

...you must make a melee attack with a weapon against one creature...

...On a hit, the target suffers the attack's normal effects, and green fire leaps from the target to a different creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of it. The second creature takes fire damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier...

Absorb Elements States:

...the first time you hit with a melee attack on your next turn, the target takes an extra 1d6 damage of the triggering type...

Green-Flame Blade is a single attack that, on a hit, affects 2 targets at the same time. Does the Absorb Elements extra damage affect both the 1st and 2nd targets by RAW?
