Chapter Six

Celeste tried to talk Lindy out of opening the store the next morning, but Lindy wanted to work. “I need to stay busy,” she told her aunt as she handed her some coffee.

“All right, but it’s not going to hurt a thing for you to take a day off,” Celeste replied, looking doubtful.

“I’ll be fine. Much better this way.”

Lindy headed down to the shop, and the first thing she did was to check the caller ID. Yes—there was Alan’s cell phone number from when he’d called the day before. She tapped her fingernails on the counter while she waited for him to answer, but nothing.

“Hey, Alan,” she said after the beep. “This is Lindy. I’m just checking in to make sure you’re all right. Can you give me a call? Thanks.”

She hung up, then leaned against the counter, trying to get her head in the game. She was going to make some honeysuckle lotion, and she should see what other scents they needed while she was at it.

She’d just jotted down five bottles of lilac when Katie Quinn entered the shop, a large box in her arms. “Soap delivery!” Katie said as she set the box down in front of the shelf where all her products were displayed.

“Wow. Those smell fantastic.”

Katie had been making soap and selling it to the shop for a while now, which made Lindy no end of happy. Soap was time consuming when done from scratch, and Celeste had never wanted to invest in the supplies or the man hours. Partnering with Katie had been a great solution for everyone—their customers loved the soaps, Katie had an outlet, and the shop had a more well-rounded product line. “Let me grab you last month’s sales report and check.”

Lindy unlocked the safe and brought Katie her percentage of the sales. “It looks like jasmine outsold everything this time around,” she said. “If you could bring in some extra bars, that would be great.”

“You’re in luck because I have some extra jasmine out in the car,” Katie replied. “I was going to run them down to the bookstore at River’s End Ranch, but if you want them, they’re all yours.”

“I hate to deprive Melissa of new product, but I do think we’ll sell them,” Lindy replied. Just in the short time she’d been back, she’d noticed how well it went over with the customers.

“I’m taking her a bunch of other stuff—maybe she won’t notice there’s no jasmine,” Katie said with a smirk.

“You can blame me if you need to. I’m prepared to take the fall-out.”

Lindy accepted the inventory list Katie provided, updated it with ten more bars of jasmine, and arranged everything on the shelf. There now. Once she had those lotions made, the shop would be fully stocked again, and that would feel great.

The door opened, and she heard a man’s voice talking on a cell phone. Her heart pounded. Alan. It had to be Alan.

She turned around, a huge smile on her face, but it wasn’t Alan.
