Mason scoffed. “Hey, I am excellent with tools, thank you very much.”

I shook my head, laughing softly before looking at Aurora. “We mean it, though. Whatever you need, we’re here.”

Aurora pressed a hand to her chest. “I don’t deserve any of this.”

Ethan’s expression softened. “You deserve all of it.”

Mason clapped his hands together. “And, because we’re not done with surprises yet,” He shot a look my way. “You wanna do the honors?”

I nodded, pulling a small envelope from my back pocket and handing it to Aurora. “This one’s just from us.”

Her brows knitted in confusion as she opened it.

She pulled out the papers inside, her breath catching as she scanned them.

I watched as her fingers trembled slightly, her eyes darting over the words—emails from publishers, contact information for agents.

Her head snapped up, her lips parted. “You?”

I nodded. “We reached out to some people. Got you started with contacts.”

Aurora covered her mouth, her breath shuddering. “I can’t believe you did this.”

Her gaze landed on me, something unspoken passing between us. I felt it in my chest, how much this meant to her.

She let out a breathless laugh, shaking her head. “You guys are ridiculous.”

Mason grinned. “Yeah, but you love us.”

She did.

God, she really did.

I watched as she pressed the papers to her chest, looking around at her bookstore, at all the people who had shown up for her.

Then, with a bright, teary-eyed smile, she said the only thing that mattered.

“Let’s do this.”

AURORA

Five months later…

The smell of old books wrapped around me like a familiar hug as I stepped into Page Turners.

Morning sunlight streamed through the front windows, and soft chatter filled the space—customers browsing, the hiss of the espresso machine from the new café corner, the occasional laugh from the cozy reading nook we’d built by the window.

It was everything I had ever dreamed of.

And it was mine.

I trailed my fingers along the nearest bookshelf, my heart swelling as I took it all in.

The renovation had transformed Page Turners into something even more magical than before.

The walls had been repainted a warm, inviting shade of deep blue, with gold accents that caught the light just right.
