Chapter 26

Emma didn’t know which deserved the most credit – her garden, Crystal’s CDs and the live performance she and Lark put on, or Avery’s marketing campaign. Whatever it was, the grand re-opening of the store was a success.

Of course, Emma refused to give herself any credit for it. She knew Avery’s team had worked hard on the website and social media, not to mention teaching Emma how to do everything herself. And then there was Crystal. Once again, they sold out their CD inventory of her and Lark’s album. Lark’s performance with Crystal was a huge draw, Emma was sure of it.

And to her pleasure, many customers used the new meditation garden and walked the labyrinth. Then they told her how soothing they found it. She even got a full sheet of sign-ups for her workshops on herb cultivation and drying.

At the end of the day, she sat with Crystal and Avery, so they could go over the numbers together. Avery was curious to know how many visitors they had, while Crystal was interested in the bottom line.

“I don’t think we’ve ever had that many people in the store at one time, let alone in a day or a week,” Crystal said gleefully when they finally had their totals. “I think it was for Lark. She’s sensational.”

“Oh, please. You’re both sensational.” Avery leaned back in her chair and nodded toward the shop’s front window. “So, what’s going on with Lark and my sister? I know something is happening, so don’t you dare hold out on me.”

“Did we forget to tell you?” Emma grimaced and glanced at the two brunettes standing outside the shop. They looked like they were chatting amicably. She didn’t see anything overly flirtatious about their demeanors, but it was obvious they were getting along well. “Lark asked about Waverly, so I gave her Waverly’s email. Wave was pretty flustered when she met her during the move. It seems to me they’re both drawn to each other.”

After a few head-bobs of acknowledgment, Avery shrugged. “Just don’t expect too much. You know how she is.”

Emma knew she meant Waverly and she nodded. “Oh yeah, I know. I also know those two have something between them, something more than what we can see. You can feel it if you walk by them, trust me.”

Avery appeared to consider her words and then smiled. “I suppose a musician makes the most sense. Waverly has always turned to music to tune out everything else around her. It’s the only way she’s found to control the emotional noise of the world. But you’re more in touch with what it’s like to be in love than I am, so I trust your judgment.”

“One of these days.” Now it was Crystal who was being the reassuring one. She reached out and squeezed Avery’s arm, but the other blonde just shook her head and rose from the chair.

“Thanks, but there isn’t going to be a ‘one of these days’ for me. I’m not interested in love. Work is enough to make me happy.
