She skidded to a stop. Nosy box one, two, and three were gathered around her desk peeping at something.

“Oh, they’re beautiful,” she heard one of them whisper.

“You think they’re from Adam?” another whispered.

“Probably so,” whispered the other.

“Hey! What’s going on over there?” she shouted and laughed when all three women jumped and swung around wide-eyed.

“Girl, what’s wrong with you scaring us like that?” Kay fussed, placing her hand over her pounding heart.

Stepping into the office, Roxy rolled her eyes. “Y’all are at my—” Roxy’s smart retort was halted by the beautiful bouquet of exotic flowers on her desk. They were absolutely breathtaking. She didn’t have to read the card to know who they were from, but reached for it anyway.

Her fingers trembled as she removed the envelope and opened the card.

Roxy,

I changed my mind. I do want something from you. Have dinner with me tonight?

Adam

“Aw…” Roxy dreamily breathed out. This day just kept getting better and better.

“What? What did the card say?” Jen asked while trying to sneak a peek over Roxy’s shoulder.

Laughing, Roxy protectively clutched the card to her chest. “That’s for me to know and you to find out.”

“Come on, girl. Tell us what it says,” Sonia pleaded, sidling up real cozy to Roxy.

Shaking her head, she replied, “Uh-huh, I’m not telling.”

Kay leaned her hip against the desk and crossed her arms over her chest. Zeroing in on Roxy, her top lip twitched, the beginnings of a smile forming. “We know the flowers are from Adam. It’s not our business what’s on the card.”

“Speak for yourself,” Jen mumbled under her breath, still craning her neck to get a peek.

Rolling her eyes at Jen, Kay didn’t bat an eye when she said, “What I want to know is why the boss man called you into his office.”

The content of the card no longer held interest. The other two women in the room perked up, their expected gazes gawking at Roxy.

Lord have mercy, these three were a hot mess. Each of them had inched their way closer to Roxy. She couldn’t help but to laugh at them. She was tempted to make them wait until the end of the day to tell them her news.

“Y’all are about some the nosiest folks I’ve ever seen.”

When three sets of pouty lips frowned at her, she laughed even harder. She held up her hands in surrender when Jen put her hands of her hips demanding, “You better stop that laughing or else…”

“Alright, alright, I’m going to tell you, but not in here.” Turning serious, she eyed each of them. “Sometimes the walls have ears. Know what I mean?”

She waited until each of them nodded. This was family business and she didn’t want to risk being overheard. “We’ll take a walk at lunchtime.”
