“Harper, we’re a team. You know that. I mean, is it something you’re interested in? I’m guessing this would be more your department than mine.”
“Nah. For the most part, it wouldn’t be as sexy as a boudoir shoot if that’s what you’re worried about. Well, maybe some of the teaser images would be.”
“How would we price it?”
“I had a few ideas about that. And some of it would depend on how many images she wanted to purchase. But I did some research and talked with Olivia, and it sounds like exclusive images can run anywhere from $150 to $5000.”
“Wow.” I stared at her, mouth agape. “That’s…yeah. That would be awesome.”
“Yeah.” She grinned. “It could be a great way to get some exposure and earn some income. Plus, we could still sell any of the images she didn’t purchase, depending on the terms of the contract.”
“Yeah. That sounds awesome. If you’re willing to take the lead, I’m game.”
“Great. I’ll let her know.” She turned her attention to her keyboard. “I mean, how cool would it be to have our images on a book cover?”
“Totally,” I said. “Oh—” I tapped my pen on the desk. “I thought of an idea for a new service we could offer.”
“What’s that?”
“Online mini courses. We could offer some on photographing your kids with your smartphone. How to take flat lays for entrepreneurs. And even one with selfie tips.”
“That’s a great idea. Jo’s been asking me to show her some tricks for taking better selfies now that she’s trying to be an influencer for some brands.”
“See! Exactly. And once the content’s created, it’s something we could use it over and over.”
“Brilliant.” She high-fived me over the table. “Man, you’re on a roll. What’d you have for breakfast today?”
I laughed. “Bennett made an apple breakfast casserole that’s freaking delicious. It tastes like apple pie, but he swears it’s healthy. If Mr. Muscles says it’s healthy, who am I to question it?” I shrugged.
“Mr. Muscles?” She laughed.
“Well, I could refer to Bennett by River’s nickname for him.”
“What’s that?”
“Butter Butter.”
She shook her head with a laugh. “Butter Butter. Where did that come from?”
“No clue, but River is Butter Bean. You should hear the two of them. Sometimes, I don’t even recognize my life.”
“I think it’s so sweet that Bennett and River get along so well.” She was quiet for a moment then asked, “Is Bennett seeing anyone?”
“Not that I know of. Why?”
She lifted a shoulder, her attention directed at her computer. “No reason.”
I glared at Harper. I knew that face. I knew she had something she wanted to say. “Okay. Out with it,” I finally said.
“I just think you guys would be perfect for each other. He’s so good with River. And you’re clearly into him.”
“Am I?” I asked, afraid it was obvious despite my efforts to hide my attraction.
“Come on, Wren. You can talk to me. You know that.”
I nodded. “I do. But can we please not talk about this? Not today,” I sighed. “I’m going out with Arlo, and I’m already trying not to psych myself out after the last date.”
“Okay. Okay. I’m sorry. I’ll drop it.”
