Chapter Six

Pippa worked all morning on inventory and appraisals. When she’d first opened the store under her name, she’d tried to complete the appraisals within half a day. Scott had told her she needed extra time to do them right, but she’d thought she knew better.

She hadn’t.

To do the work correctly, she sometimes needed to research the items and that took time. Now, she gave herself at least a full day and through the next business day, unless there were special circumstances.

As she looked at the stacks of items to be sold and appraised, she sighed. She hadn’t remembered so many requests coming in and she’d have to assess each one.

She looked through the pile of old teen books. Most weren’t worth much in their present condition—tape holding the binding together, tears in the pages, coloring on one of the covers and pages falling out. Collectors wanted pristine versions—not well-loved, read versions. She preferred the battered copies because it proved someone had enjoyed the book.

But being worn also meant the books wouldn’t fetch as much for resale. She’d only be able to offer a few dollars for the collection. She wrote up the offers and taped them to the various boxes and bags before moving on to the final bag.

Her phone beeped and she pushed the bag aside to answer the text.

Jon.

Her heart soared. She fumbled to retrieve the message. A photo of him on the treadmill filled the screen. Him sweaty, eyes sparkling and grinning.

God, he was handsome. She laughed. They’d been friends for so long and never shared these kinds of texts before. They’d always traded jokes and checked up on each other. This was new and she liked the change.

She replied to the message.
