“You do look so tired, darling.” Rosie peered over the top of her glasses as Charlotte set down two takeaway coffees on the counter. “I feel terrible putting you through so much.”

“I love it. The customers are fun, and I enjoy making everything look nice. Even sweeping out the front makes me feel like I…well, belong here.”

“Well, you do belong here and I, for one, am very happy to know you.”

Not if you really knew me.

Charlotte felt her lips tighten and made an effort to smile, managing a small one. She needed to fulfil her earlier resolve. Face the fears, deal with the problems.

“But we are almost there. Apart from today, we only have three shopping days. I had considered opening on Sunday, but we both need time to prepare for our own Christmas day, don’t we?” Rosie’s smile held a question.

“If you still would like me to come for Christmas—”

“Yes! Oh, goodie! The cats will be delighted.” Rosie clapped her hands. “The forecast is for a hot day, so let’s make it dinner?”

“The cats? Sure, I’m hoping they know how to cook?”

“Funny.”

“What shall I bring?”

“Nothing.”

“Not happening. Let me know by Sunday and I’ll go shopping.”

Customers came in, taking Rosie’s attention. Charlotte told her stomach to stop doing silly flutters. Christmas dinner with a person she liked so much was nothing to be anxious about. And now she had an even better gift idea. There must be somewhere around here that sold pet toys.
