“Positive.”
I turn back to the woman who now had a big smile across her face.
“Can I see one of the bigger flower pots?” I ask.
We leave the stand with two flower pots. I have no idea where I’ll put them, but they’re too beautiful to leave sitting on the shelf.
I squeeze Maverick’s hand as we walk. He served as a perfect gentleman throughout the rest of my shopping spree, and boy did he look good doing it.
“Here, let me carry your bags,” His attentiveness blew me away. I had so many bags. He didn't flinch once at my purchases.
“I’ll pay you back. Once I figure out how much money I have.” The thought of dealing with the shit Miles left behind is like a weight on my chest. I don't want to deal with it. I just want everything to be gone.
He shakes his head. “Don’t be ridiculous. I don't take you shopping so you can pay me back.”
“Thank you for doing this for me. I needed it.”
His eyes hold so much sincerity as he speaks. “I know, Pumpkin.”
