Since Aunt Linda and I had taken different vehicles to work, I decided to stop at Scales and Fur for some herbs I thought might help get William to the other side.

I wasn't there long, but Aunt Linda had gotten to the shop before me and things were ready to open.

She shooed me out of the front. "Why don't you go ahead and do some videos with scent creation while I do the morning rush? It would be a good chance to make some candles to help us restock,” she said, not meeting my eyes.

"Hold on." I caught her elbow. "Are you asking me to make more content?"

"Maybe you were right, and it's good for marketing and whatnot." Her sheepish expression made me want to laugh, but I held it in. Would Wax Wonders never cease? I assumed enough TikTok watchers had come in and told her about the content to finally push her over the edge.

I could have rubbed it in, but I wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Instead, I gave a mock curtsy. "Aunt Linda, I would be delighted to make more content."

Now in a really good mood, I started working on making candles and videoing the process of how a new scent was created. The door chimed on and off, but Aunt Linda manned the front of the shop.

“Why, hello, my Wax Wonders…” I began.

After doing a couple batches and getting some great videos to upload later, I realized we both probably needed lunch.

Sending both Wes and Don messages, I blanched at the thought of having two dates on the same day if they both responded to me.

"Wes, if you're still good, then we're on for tonight."

"Don, I'm about to venture out for lunch and was hoping you'd join me if you weren't on a call."

My gaze narrowed as I stared at my phone, waiting for it to ding. What did possibly having two dates in a day make me? I hadn’t discussed exclusivity with either of them, and I hadn’t made up my mind between them, not preferring one over the other. My dashing vet with his big love of furred creatures or my uniformed Deputy Don with the southern hospitality and drawl. I currently like them both.

Don was the first to message back.

"I'll meet you at the coffee shop. I'm dying for an egg sandwich from the Jitterbug. You want your usual?"

“Yes,” I texted. “Laura will know what it is.”

I got a thumbs-up emoji from Don. "Aunt Linda,” I called toward the front of the shop. “I'm about to grab lunch with Don. Do you want me to bring anything back for you?"

She stuck her head into the back room. "Sure, bring me back my usual sandwich, but don't rush back on my account." She waved me off with a smile as the entrance chimed once more.

I slipped out the rear exit and around to the front. Shadow was sitting on the sidewalk and fell into step beside me as I moved toward the Jitterbug.
