Chapter Nine

Gabby was just putting the finishing touches on a birthday arrangement for a sixteenth birthday when the bells over her shop door jangled. She braced herself, knowing that Candy liked to pop in on Mondays when the café was closed, but right about now, she was almost happy to look up and see her future aunt and most high-maintenance client walk through the door. The rain had been falling all morning, meaning that aside from phone orders, activity had been slow, leaving her alone with her flowers, her work, and her overactive mind, which seemed to be on repeat mode, replaying Saturday night over and over until she’d almost forgotten she was still standing at her workbench.

So Doug had turned out to be a surprisingly good dancer; it wasn’t like she had many others to compare him to. And she did like to dance. Didn’t have the opportunity to do it often enough. Really, she had just gotten swept up in the moment. It was easy to do so at weddings…

She finished fluffing out the rest of the greenery and set the vase to the side for delivery. Wiping a hand across her brow, she smiled at Candy, who was smoothing down her wet hair.

“Hello, Candy! What brings you out on a day like this?” She wagered Candy’s motive was an even split between wanting to change her centerpieces or discuss Gabby’s love life.

“Oh, I was looking in some of the shops for bridesmaid gifts,” Candy began. All four of Uncle Dennis’s girls would serve the role. All, Gabby had been told by Brooke, who had been asked to design the bridesmaid dresses, would be dressed in pink.

“How nice,” Gabby said, knowing that Candy’s true motive was yet to be revealed. “Did you find anything special?”

“Oh, well, since they’re all so happily settled into fulfilling relationships, I thought maybe something like…a wedding planning book of their own.”

Gabby burst out laughing. “But none of them are even engaged!”

“Yet.” Candy put a finger in the air. “And you know it’s just a matter of time.”

Gabby couldn’t disagree with her there, even though she was rather sure that her cousins wouldn’t appreciate Candy meddling further in their personal lives. But Britt had been back together with Robbie Bradford, her high school sweetheart, for about a year now, and Amelia wasn’t far behind with Robbie’s cousin Matt. Even though Maddie and Cora were settling into newer relationships without a previous history, it was clear that both were happy and in love.

“Yes, I do think they have each met their perfect match.” She felt her smile slip a little, as the old feelings of self-pity reared. She imagined being in the same position, to have someone to talk to at the end of the day, share a meal or a glass of wine with, laugh over the good things, cry over the bad.

Lately, the only person she’d confided in was…well, Doug didn’t count. He was just someone she knew well enough, and saw often enough, to have some things to bond over.
