Chapter Twenty One

Rosie put the tray of glasses down on one of the tables. The place was buzzing. She'd been so nervous, almost sick at the idea of no one coming to the opening. But here she was, in her own garden center, just like she'd always wanted, and people were here.

“Not bad, eh?” Joe said.

He was wearing something that was close to a suit but that smelled like mothballs and Rosie grinned at the effort. “I can't believe so many people are here,” she said.

“Well, we spammed the flower market pretty hard with invites, and between us we know a bunch of people, and, well, everyone likes free drinks and food, right?”

“I guess,” Rosie said. She looked over the crowd, looking for one person in particular, but not finding her.

“You deserve this, Rosie,” Joe said.

She shook her head. “I'm not so sure I do. I got lucky. I made a deal. This was my pay-off.”

“Where is Leigh?”

She shrugged.

“Did you tell her about calling the wedding off yet?”

She bit her lip.

“Rosie, come on, you said it wasn't what you wanted.”

“But what if it kind of is?” Rosie burst out. What if she kind of did want to walk down the aisle? What if she kind of wanted to hold Leigh's hand?

It had been all of three days since they'd got back from Devon and between the garden center opening and Leigh's work they hadn't spent a minute together. But there had been texts. Quite a lot of them. And they were getting steamier by the second and Rosie could hardly think straight at the idea that she and Leigh might actually...

She took a breath.

“You need to decide what you want, Rosie,” Joe said. “You're playing a dangerous game here, trying to get everything all at once. You can't be the fake bride, the real girlfriend, the successful business owner and general savior of mankind all at once.”

“I know,” she said miserably. “I know.”

Joe rubbed her arm. “Come here, silly.” He pulled her into a hug. “I worry about you. But you know I'd do anything you asked me to, right?”

“I know, thank you.”

He straightened up. “And now, I think I see my date for the evening, if you'll excuse me, Ms. Bullock awaits.”

She watched him walk over to a nice-looking blonde girl who couldn't look anything less like Sandra Bullock and she smiled. Things were kind of a mess, he was right about that. It was about time she started thinking about what she really wanted.

“It looks lovely, love,” her dad appeared and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Her mother appeared beside him. “Yes, it does.”

Which was compliment enough from her mum, so she smiled and kissed her and still she was looking everywhere.

The place was getting packed, customers and guests mingling in the aisles as drinks and snacks were taken around and she was beginning to think that Leigh wouldn't come. Even though she had an invitation and Rosie had sent texts and...

A tray of drinks went past and Rosie grabbed one.
