Harper
Spring in Bayview was beautiful. I was going to miss it once I left this
town.
I was a baker. I was probably supposed to love winter—staying inside
and baking Christmas cakes and Valentine’s treats and all the sweets to get
everyone through the colder months. But frankly, I hated it. The moment I
saw those first snowflakes, it was me against the world, and it stayed that
way until March rolled around and the blooms poked up, the trees started to
get some color again.
And today was my favorite day of the year—the first day above fifty
degrees. I had the bakery doors propped open, opened all the windows, and
I let the sweet scent of springtime mix with the rich aroma of buttered
pastry and bread that filled the bakery as I slotted French breads into their
place by the door, filling up the basket as Anders came into the building.
“Oh—almost just walked right into you,” he laughed. “Good morning,
Harper.”
“Hey, Anders. How are you and the wife?”
He smiled wider. “Well, you know how it is. Weather’s warming up,
so I’m trying to convince her she’s too old to be out planting hollyhocks,
and I’ll let you guess just how much luck I’ve had convincing her.”
“She’s a talented gardener. Can’t really keep her away.”
“She’s a silly little duckling and the most stubborn person I’ve ever
met, that’s what she is,” he chuckled. “Well, I can’t complain. I’d just been
talking about it to Emberlynn yesterday, and she volunteered to help Nancy
tend to the garden when she needed it. Said she’d get Aria to help and
everything.”
I softened into a smile. “Emberlynn’s a big softie.”
“So she is. Her girlfriend, too, just less likely to admit it. I wonder
when they’re going to get married, those two.”
I laughed, turning back to finish slotting the breads into the basket
there. “They’ve always been comfy taking their time. I feel like they’re the
type to date for eight, nine years before they get married. I bet Gwen and
Kay are probably the ones getting married first, even if Will’s going to be
jealous. Out of carrot for right now, but there’s chocolate. Always
chocolate.”
“Spring’s in the air. Nancy’s not the only one who wants carrot cake
now.” He walked alongside me as I headed back in the direction of the
register, him heading for the display of mini-cupcakes, his usual—one for
his wife every day.
Talk about sickeningly sweet. That was probably something
Emberlynn and Aria would do. Probably something I could see Priscilla
doing for Annabel sixty years down the line.
Anders said the exact thing I needed him to not follow up with.
“Everyone’s been coupling up so fast this past year, you know. You’ll have
to find someone too before long.”
“Ugh. I don’t need that. I’m keeping busy running this place. Besides,
I…” I pursed my lips. I didn’t need to get into the details with Anders. Poor
old man just wanted to get his wife a cupcake. “Relationships are
annoying.”
