Richard opened the door to Blooming Lovely and looked around the store. Thankfully, Paris was busy helping a customer. All morning, he’d tried to decide whether coming here was a good idea. But it was Paris’ last day, and he wanted her to know he was thinking about her.

Some of his nerves disappeared when she turned around. She was wearing a bright blue dress with yellow and pink flowers printed across the fabric. When she saw him, her smile made his decision to come here even more worthwhile.

After the customer left the store, she came to say hello. “I didn’t expect to see you today. Have you finished work early?”

“I’m on my way to Anchor Lane. I thought I’d stop by and see how your last day’s going.”

“We’ve been busy since we opened, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. It stops me from thinking about leaving.”

“I know how that feels.” Richard handed her the box he’d brought with him. “Normally, I would have brought you flowers to wish you luck, but that doesn’t have the same impact when you’re a florist.”

“You didn’t have to bring me anything.”

Richard shrugged, hoping she didn’t realize what a big deal it was to him.

Carefully, Paris unwrapped the box. When she saw what was inside, she smiled. “How did you know I have a sweet tooth?”

“You said you like the fudge from Sweet Treats, so I bought you a selection of flavors. If you’re feeling a little stressed, the sugar might help.”

“Thanks. It might come in handy sooner than you think.”

“Why? What’s happened?”

“Nadine’s mom is changing a few wedding details. Their planner has called me three times to make sense of what she wants.”

“The wedding’s this weekend. Why is she making changes?”

Paris looked across the store at another customer. “I’m not sure Mrs. Kingston is ready for her daughter to get married.”

“Do you think she’s deliberately sabotaging their plans?”

“Not deliberately, but she’s creating a lot of stress.”

“Do you need me to do anything?”

Paris shook her head. “I’ll be okay. I’m going to The Flower Cottage after work to create some more displays. Once they’re done, I can focus on Nadine’s wedding.”

“If there’s anything you need, I’m only a phone call away.”

“Thanks. I’d better go. Mrs. Gilford looks as though she needs some help choosing her flowers.” Paris kissed his cheek. “I appreciate you coming to see me.” Slipping the fudge into her pocket, she hurried across the store.

Richard left Blooming Lovely with a smile on his face. It wasn’t until he was almost at Anchor Lane that he realized how much difference Paris had made in his life.

Since he’d started working on her store, he hadn’t stopped smiling. Except for the times when Tommy and the rest of the crew did something crazy.

He just hoped today wasn’t one of those days.
