***

At six that evening, Sarah pulled her car to a stop in the lot outside of Serenity Hills and sank her face into her hands. She had blown it. Not just the chance to have Hannah’s wedding day be saved, but also the chance to save her career. And the worst part of all was that she didn’t even know what she had done wrong!

She’d replayed the events from this morning all day, and still she couldn’t make sense of it. But it didn’t matter if she understood or not, she supposed. Chris had made his decision, just like Chloe had made hers. She’d messed up. And now…Well, now she would do what she always did every Wednesday evening and visit her grandmother.

And then she would go home and put together a resume. Forget finding a man when she had to find a new job! She’d ask around, see if Posy needed a second hand at the flower shop. She wouldn’t mind making arrangements.

Even if they would be for weddings that Chloe would be planning.

She groaned, grabbed the white bakery box from Angie’s, and pushed open her car door. No time for pity now. For the next hour, she had to shelve it. But she highly doubted she’d succeed in forgetting about it.

There was once a time when she could see her grandmother looking out the front window at her, anticipating her arrival in a blue wingback chair that gave her good posture, something ladies of her generation prided themselves on, she would remark, in a passive-aggressive way of hers that Sarah had come to find charming. She carried the box of chocolate chip cookies with her, but her heart still sank a little when she entered the lobby and saw that no one was in the window, even though she had called ahead to let her grandmother know she would be stopping by today. Esther had no other grandchildren, and Sarah’s parents didn’t get to town to visit as much as she knew her father would have liked.

Lately, her grandmother perked up when Sarah told the stories from Bayside Brides. Esther especially liked the part when someone pitched a fit, like the bride who ripped a veil from her head so hard that Sarah could have sworn a bit of hair came out with it, all because her mother and she disagreed over the length for twenty-five minutes while Chloe nodded and murmured soothing words, and Melanie had to keep excusing herself to the storage room to have a good hard laugh. Today, though, the only titillating story Sarah would be able to share was her own personal conflict, and she didn’t want to dwell on it.

She found her grandmother in the courtyard, sitting on a bench near the hydrangea bushes. It was a warm evening, but not hot enough to melt the chocolate chips in the cookies, and Sarah proffered the box as she took a seat beside her.

“How was your date?” her grandmother said in response, and despite the reminder of last Friday’s disappointment, Sarah was pleased to hear it.
