Audrey saw some flowers moving across the bakery out of the corner of her eye, and a little grin crossed her features. It was like her birthday and Christmas all wrapped into one. Best day of the year, maybe the best day of her life! --Okay, so that might be going overboard. But it was a wonderful, wonderful day, and Audrey felt so incredibly blessed to have so many people around to visit with her and support the shop. Many friends were showing up to show their support, yes, but strangers, too, who enjoyed her pastries through other shops or who had found the coupon in the newspaper.
The line slowly died down, and the flowers that Audrey had nearly forgotten came wandering up toward the front of the shop. She broke into an even brighter grin at the sight of them, and gave a laugh when she saw Oliver's face show up behind them. "Oliver!" She grinned, stepping out from behind the counter to meet him and steal a hug in thanks. "Thank you! Oh, you're so sweet. Are these for me?"
