I smiled at my blooming arrangements. “Money’s tight, but it’s picking up.”
“Just signed a third hotel yesterday–wedding flowers on contract.”

“It’s a small town. There’s not much competition.”
“Enough to live on. Even save a little.”

“…Who’s this?” he asked, eyes narrowing with suspicion.
Marcus looked amused. “He just called you Elaine?”
“Care to explain, Miss Summers?”
I smiled calmly. “This is Marcus Kingswell, CEO of Aether Mobility Group.”
Marcus tapped the table. “Update your bio. I’m Executive President now.”
