“This is exactly what I needed.” Lauren peeled the wrapper off another piece of chocolate and popped it into her mouth.

“Me too,” Blaire agreed. “A moment to sit around in sweats, drink some wine, and eat too much chocolate.”

Continuing to flip through the magazine I’d been looking at, I took a small sip of my wine. I’d gathered as many do-it-yourself magazines as I could find after work today, praying there would be some crafty ideas I could implement into the store myself. Saving money while fixing this place up was going to be another way to prove to my parents that I could hack this entrepreneur thing, and I was all about proving myself to them with this.

“What about this?” I pointed to a picture of some tiny, narrow shelves someone had made out of thin wood and painted a pale blue. In the picture of the finished project, there were small knickknacks arranged on it. “It looks easy to make and cute.”

Blaire glanced over my shoulder at the picture. “What would you use that for?”

I crinkled my nose. “I don’t know, but I really like the worn-out, vintage look it has going on.”

“How about for displaying earrings or rolled-up belts?” Lauren suggested while unwrapping another piece of chocolate. “Get these things away from me. I’ll eat the entire bag if you don’t.”

Blaire snatched the bag from her lap and grabbed a handful. “What was the layout of the shop again?”

Leaning forward, I sifted through some papers on the coffee table and pulled out the one I’d drawn the layout on. It wasn’t the best blueprint—heck, it wasn’t even to scale—but it gave the basic idea as to what shape the store was.

“Here.” I passed it to her.

“You actually could put something like that right here, if this spot isn’t a goof up in your sketch of the place, that is.” Blaire grinned.

I rolled my eyes. “It’s not a goof up. There really is an angled wall there. Behind that is where the storage room for all of my off-season merchandise will be.”

“You could line the area with those shelves and get rid of the glass cases against the wall. Shelves would be more chic,” Lauren suggested.

“Good idea.” I ripped out the instructions for how to make the shelves and placed them on the coffee table.

After flipping through a few more pages, my cell went off. I knew who was calling without having to look at the screen—Craig. He’d only called me three times today, but it was three times too many. I still wasn’t sure what to say to him after the way he’d behaved. My eyes dropped to the thick leather bracelet on my wrist. The bruises were nearly gone, but I could still picture the haunting look in his eyes and feel the emotions from the moment flicker through me when I thought about it.

“Still not talking to him?” Blaire asked. She had that skeptical gleam in her eyes that I hated.

“Nope, not yet.
