Nova
37 Days until New Year’s Eve
Sighing, I slumped against the front counter of my cupcake shop, The
Icing on Top. It was Thanksgiving, and I was waiting for the last of my
customers to pick up their orders. Not that I had any special plans to rush
home to. Unless you considered a bottle of wine special plans. My eyes
drifted to the box of Christmas decorations against the wall. Since I would
be here for the next few hours, I might as well do something useful. I
moved the box to a table and opened it. The outdoor decorations would be
handled tomorrow, but there wasn’t any reason why I couldn’t get the inside
of the cupcake shop festive.
I was still decorating long after the final customer picked up their order.
Just as I taped off the end of the silver garland I had lined the counter with,
the door opened, and Bree walked in. I wouldn’t consider us best friends,
but we were friendly enough. She worked across the street at Serendripity, a
popular coffee shop.
“Nova, what are you still doing at work?” she asked. “Even we’ve closed
up shop for the day,” she said as she held out a to-go cup to me. “I saw you
were here and thought I would give you your final pumpkin fix until next
year.”
I took the cup from her and held it under my nose, inhaling the delicious
smell of the pumpkin spice latte. “You’re a gem,” I told her, taking a
tentative sip. “I still maintain that pumpkin is a Christmas flavor, too.”
She rolled her eyes at my familiar argument. She had heard it many times
before, usually around this time of year. “Unfortunately for you, the owner
disagrees. Now, don’t avoid the question. Why are you still here? That cute
boyfriend of yours must be waiting for you at home.”
I grimaced. “The only thing waiting for me at home is a chicken and a
bottle of wine,” I told her.
She tilted her head curiously. “What happened to the boyfriend?”
“He decided two days ago that he wasn’t interested in continuing our
relationship.”
“That bastard. And he had this epiphany right before Thanksgiving?”
“Yup.” I took another sip of my coffee and decided that Bree was right. It
was time to go home.
“Well, he’s a fucking idiot, and he never deserved you,” she stated.
I smiled at her support. “Thanks, girl, and thanks for the coffee. You
should get to your holiday plans, though. I’m going to lock up and go
home.”
Bree stepped forward and gave me a quick hug. “Happy Thanksgiving,
Nova.”
“You too, Bree.” I watched her leave and then gathered my purse. I
ensured the back door was locked, everything was turned off, and I stepped
outside. I inhaled the cool air deeply. It smelled like snow. As I was closing
the door, Bree appeared beside me.
“So, maybe you aren’t ready yet, but I thought I would give this to you.”
I took the business card from her and looked at it.
“Love -N- Shenanigans?”
