Chapter Fourteen

Monday morning rolled around dark and dreary, but Yvette found herself dancing around her office, her fist in the air as she celebrated the weekend’s numbers. She’d just finished adding up the sales they’d raked in during the signing and was elated to find out they were on track to have the best month ever. She couldn’t wait until Jacob came in so she could share the good news.

Just the thought of seeing his face after he’d been gone all weekend made her stomach do a little flip. And even though she was pretty certain Miranda had been off her rocker with the guardian angel stuff, Yvette hoped she’d been right when she’d said Jacob was smitten, because it was clear Yvette was head over heels for him.

The bell on the front door chimed, and Yvette hurried out into the shop, expecting to see Jacob. They still had ten minutes until they opened, and Brinn had the day off. But instead of her tall, dark, and handsome business partner, she found Hanna Pelsh at the pastry and coffee bar, stocking the display with fresh cookies.

“Hanna! You don’t have to do that.” Yvette hurried over and nudged her friend out of the way. “You’re already doing me a huge favor by delivering this stuff. You don’t have to put it away as well.”

Hanna shrugged. “I wasn’t sure you were here yet.”

Yvette had given the Pelshes a key to the front door as part of the delivery arrangement so they could have a bigger window of time for deliveries. Since Brinn was off, no one had been upfront when Hanna had let herself in. “Thank you. You’re so thoughtful, but I can take it from here.”

“Sure.” Hanna stepped out from behind the café counter and glanced around. “I can’t believe you got this place in order already. I heard you guys were busier than the brewery this weekend.”

Yvette grinned. “That was Saturday. We still had a good crowd yesterday, but man, that signing was crazy successful. Be prepared. We’ll be doubling our pastry order for next month’s signing.”

“Excellent. I’ll let my mom know.” She moved to the door. “Tell Jacob and Brinn hi for me.”

“Will do.”

The bell on the door chimed as she let herself out, and Yvette found herself wandering the store and wondering what she should do with herself. Brinn had stayed late the day before, and they’d managed to get the store back in order in record time. And because Yvette had known she’d be working the store by herself until Jacob showed up, she’d come in early to deal with the bookkeeping.

Now she found herself by the front door, eyeing the deserted street, looking for Jacob’s familiar truck. When she didn’t even see any lights shining through the rain, she sighed, flipped the open sign and headed for the café counter.

Armed with a fresh latte and a couple of cookies, Yvette positioned herself behind the checkout counter and cracked open Jovee Winters’ newest twisted fairy tales book.
