MONDAY AFTERNOON, MISTY met Brittany at a shop downtown for some retail therapy.

“Let me just get this out of the way by telling you that Leon and I have a date tomorrow,” she announced. “We’re leaving early and spending the day in Savannah. He’s going to be busy the rest of the week with Miss Eleanor and Rusty.”

“That’s right. The wedding is Saturday,” Brittany exclaimed as they wandered around the clothing boutique. “I’m not surprised that you’re going on a date with Leon. Girl, I knew you had a thing for him.”

“Okay you’re right. I really, really like him but I’m so nervous,” Misty confessed. “It’s actually been a while since I’ve been on a date. I know this is last minute, but do you mind watching Talei?”

“I don’t mind at all. That’s my little princess.”

“What should I wear?” Misty picked up a red sundress. “You like this one?”

“I like this better.” Brittany help up a strapless dress in yellow.

“It’s nice, but not appropriate for a day trip to Savannah.”

“Make sure you wear comfortable walking shoes with something cute. Those cobblestone streets are agony on your feet.”

“I remember. That’s why I need to find something to go with my walking shoes. I’m looking for something in red or navy.” Misty walked over to the next clothing rack. “Congratulations again on making partner. It’s well deserved.”

Brittany held up a shirt against her body and eyed her reflection in the full-length mirror. “Girl, thank you. I’m excited about it. We’re actually planning to expand our office to Charleston.”

“Oh, wow. That’s wonderful.”

“Mary’s boyfriend lives there, and he’s asked her to marry him.”

“So, she plans on running that office while you manage the one on the island?”

Brittany nodded. “Exactly.”

“Thank you for babysitting Talei. You know how much I appreciate you.”

“Talei and I are gonna have a good time. Enjoy your day with Leon. Don’t worry about rushing back. She can just stay the night and I’ll drop her off at school. She and I will be fine. Talei loves her auntie Britt.”

Misty smiled. “Yes, she does. That’s because you spoil her.”

They left the store and walked across the street.

“Let’s try this place here,” Misty said. “I need to find something in the next ten minutes. I have to get back to work.”

Later that evening, Misty tried on the two different outfits she’d purchased earlier. She was having a difficult time trying to find the perfect one for her date with Leon.

It was past eleven o’clock by the time she chose the sundress in a hot pink color with white sneakers. Misty also retrieved a light white cardigan to take with her.

She climbed into bed and exhaled a long sigh of contentment. Misty propped herself up against her pillows and relaxed for a few minutes, then she slid out of bed.

Misty went downstairs to the kitchen. She’d made a decision to bake lemon cupcakes for Leon.

Misty wanted to do something special for him.
