Chapter 11

Riley watched the ServPro technicians roll the dehumidifiers and fans out the front door of the pharmacy. “Good riddance.”

Ruby lifted her hands to God. “Amen. I ain’t gonna know what to do with myself without all that noise rumblin’ through here.”

“Don’t get rid of your earplugs yet,” Liam told her. “I’ll be making plenty of noise fixing the damage.”

Ruby winced.

“I’ll be doing as much as I can after hours to keep from disrupting business any more than I have to.” He turned to Riley. “You need to be deciding on a new wall color. Once the new sheetrock is in, the whole room will need repainting.”

“Oh can we please have something other than some shade of antique white?” Jessie begged.

“There are flooring decisions to be made, too. These original wood floors aren’t salvageable. You and Mom need to decide ASAP if you want to go with more wood, laminate, tile, or what so we can get it ordered over at the hardware store. If there are any changes you want to make to the place, now’s the time to do it while we’re about to have it all torn up anyway.”

“Decisions, decisions.” Riley was getting damned tired of making them. “I just want everything dealt with as quickly as humanly possible.”

“It’ll look worse before it gets better. But it will get better. Promise.” He chucked her softly under the chin.

“I trust you.” And she did.

“Good.” He pulled her in for a quick and entirely unsatisfying kiss. “I’m gonna run over to see Tyler and pick up flooring samples for y’all to think about. Maybe grab a paint fan too. Then I’ve got a few other things to see about, but after work, I’m taking you out to celebrate.”

“What are we celebrating?” Liam was not the two week-i-versary type.

“The fact that repairs can finally proceed. And the rest is a surprise.”

Riley lifted a brow. “A surprise, huh?”

“So suspicious.” He grinned. “Just be ready to go by seven. And wear that little black dress. I have a particular fondness for that one.”

She saluted him. “Yes, sir.”

“You’re so cute when you try to be official.” Liam kissed her again, lingering this time in a way that had her way more curious about his surprise than she had been. “See you tonight.”

He sauntered out the door, a spring in his step.

Jessie leaned against the counter and propped her chin on her fist. “You know, I hate the reason he’s in here all the time right now, but I do love having the eye candy.”

Riley smiled and resisted the urge to touch her lips. “He is pretty exceptional eye candy, isn’t he?”

“I wouldn’t kick that one outta my bed for eating potato chips.”

“Ruby!” Riley laughed.

“What? I may have thirty years on him, but I’m not dead.”

“You two were looking mighty cozy the Fourth of July fireworks,” Jessie noted with an eyebrow waggle.

That wasn’t anywhere near as cozy as they’d been after the fireworks. Not content with second base, they’d ambitiously headed for third. And if they’d only had a bed…

“Earth to Riley.
