Chapter 15

When she pulled into a parking spot in front of Lucy’s shop, Megan wasn’t at all surprised to see it bustling with activity. She sat in the Jeep for a moment, watching the activity through the shop’s front display window. It was easy to see that the activity was well orchestrated, and everyone seemed to work well together. She made a quick decision and opened the glove compartment to stash the pictures Lynn had given her inside the box. Now was not the time to worry about the murder, she was here to help her family. She could focus on them for the next hour, and put the case on the back burner, so to speak.

As she opened the door she motioned for Barney to follow. Then Megan got out of the car and walked to the front door, taking in the large cobalt blue ceramic urns at either side of the entry.

“Those turned out perfect,” she said to Barney as he waited for her to pull the door open.

She had left instructions with Janice about the colorful flowers she wanted planted in the urns and was pleased her staff had done such a good job. She knew there were more containers due to arrive closer to the grand opening, along with benches and outdoor lighting. Lucy had not known Megan had ordered them, and she hoped she liked the additions to her front entry.

To Barney’s relief, Megan finally opened the door and stepped inside the shop. Right into the hub of activity. She had to smile as she looked around. Megan wasn’t surprised to see her daughter on a ladder hanging a banner, while Toby held the ladder and Sammy gave directions.

“The left side is lower, Emma. Are you sure it’s low enough for people to read?”

“Not everyone is short like you, Sammy,” teased Toby like a typical brother.

“It’s the right height, Sammy. If it’s too low, then tall men like your dad will walk into it. There, is it straight now? Hi, Mom.” Emma caught sight of Megan and called out her greeting.

“These banners are wonderful, Emma. You did a fantastic job on them.” Megan didn’t care if she embarrassed her daughter with her praise; it was well deserved. Emma was a talented artist, and the classes she was taking to earn a degree in graphic design were pulling those talents into the commercial world. Lucy was thrilled when Emma had offered to create all the signage and promotional materials for the shop, and her niece had not disappointed her.

Lucy looked up when she heard Megan’s voice and hurried to the front of the shop to put her friend right to work.

“Megan, those pots of flowers are glorious. Thank you so much.” She gave Megan a warm hug and then got down to business. “I have a job for you. A new shipment came in, would you mind getting it entered into inventory and unwrapped? Then I can put it out on the sales floor.” Without waiting for an answer, Lucy grabbed her arm and pulled her towards the back room.
