As the van bumped into the parking lot, Jada ran out of the restaurant to greet it. She felt like a child on Christmas morning with her new sign being delivered. She rushed to the parking lot, a grin plastered on her face.

She wouldn’t have considered the new sign if Dom hadn’t gotten her thinking about whether or not it really represented her restaurant anymore. So after spending time with the sign designer, she settled on something brand new but still bearing the Mortimer’s name that was so well known.

The driver climbed out and offered her a smile. “I guess you’re excited to see it.”

“I am!”

He twitched his head toward the back of his van, and she followed him. He opened the doors and grabbed a huge wooden sign wrapped in a layer of protective plastic. He pulled it out of the van and carried it to the spot where the old sign had recently been removed with the help of Cort and Kaoz and in exchange for a roaster chicken each.

The man extracted a utility knife and cut the plastic. As soon as she saw her dream design come to life on the sign, she slapped a hand over her mouth.

“You like it?” he asked.

“It’s just what I asked for.” The crisp white sign with sharp red lettering stood out in a way the old black and white sign never had. Plus, she’d added an illustration of a pig wearing a red kerchief around its neck to meld the old menu and her new one.

“If it’s to your likin’, then I’ll go ahead and mount it in the old spot.”

“Yes, that would be great.” She stood back, staring at it and beaming.

The man returned to his van for a ladder and a toolbox. She bounced on her toes with excitement at the new look that she realized was overdue. Dom might be annoying, but he wasn’t wrong about the old sign not representing her anymore. She might even thank the man next time she saw him.

She watched the guy install the sign and took out her phone to snap some pictures of the progress for her social media.

“You and your competition are good for my business this week,” he said after he climbed off the ladder and stowed away his tools.

She looked up at him. “My competition?”

“Yeah. Didn’t you notice he got his new sign too?”

Her eyes flew wide, and she whipped around. She forced herself not to look across the road at Savage’s Barbecue, because she didn’t want to find the owner so tempting that she ended up tangled in bed with him again.

But now that she looked, a scream left her throat. “Oh my God! Are you freakin’ serious?” She whirled back to the sign man. “You made him the same damn sign!”

“Well, no, his is blue.”

One look at the crisp white with sharp blue lettering of Savage’s Barbecue had her seething. But the crowning jewel was the illustration of a pig wearing a blue kerchief.
