It was glorious.
But I need coffee.
It takes me longer than usual to get it going, but when that rich aroma filters through the kitchen, I sigh with relief.
Help is on the way.
Snickering, I tap out a text to my sister and hit send.
VIENNA: Haven caught me sneaking out of Wells’s room
ASPEN: Big brother is in this chat
VIENNA: Dammit I haven’t had coffee yet
ASPEN: 3…2…1…
MONTANA: YOU’RE SLEEPING WITH YOUR BOSS?!
ASPEN: Like that’s the worst thing she’s ever done
VIENNA: Okay well that was unnecessary
ASPEN: Doesn’t make it untrue
VIENNA: Aspen is sleeping with the guy she’s been fighting with since she moved to Magnolia Point
ASPEN: Wow you went there huh?
MONTANA: I’m sorry did I miss the part where we talk about our sex lives now?
MONTANA: Because Ellison and I snuck into the barn last night and…
ASPEN: STOP
VIENNA: We’re sorry
ASPEN: Very sorry
MONTANA: Thought so
ASPEN: But also—you and Wells are a thing again?
MONTANA: Again?!
ASPEN: He’s shirt guy from the summer
MONTANA: You shut your face!
MONTANA: Hold on I need more coffee
VIENNA: Oh my God it’s NOT that big of a deal
ASPEN: Yes it is
MONTANA: It totally is
MONTANA: Man—hooking up with your boss AND getting your flower shop in one go—it’s been a hell of a month for you
