Bria raised her hand, “That’s me.”
He smiled, “They are all paid for. He just wanted to have me tell you that you are the most beautiful woman he has ever seen and that he loves you.”
She put a hand to her mouth and the guy winked and walked out of the store and Bria walked to each bouquet, smelling them.
Each one had a note.
One said, “You are perfect in every single way.”
Another said, “I can’t wait to see how beautiful you will be as the days go on.”
Another said, “I love you baby.”
Another said, “Freaking gorgeous girl.”
“You are brilliant and wonderful.”
“I love you.”
“I am so excited for the future. And yet, I just love the present. Because you are my present.”
“I love you to the ends of the earth and back. I will love you until I’m dust in the ground and even then, I will never stop loving you.”
She put a hand to her face and held each note tenderly.
The girls walked around with her, and read the notes over her shoulder.
Winnie said, “Okay. He is pretty dang cute. I approve.”
Bria smiled and Ella nodded as well, “I do too.”
Lola pursed her lips, “Geez. Bouquets of flowers two days in a row? I’m a little jealous. But seriously Bria, does he make you happy?”
Bria nodded, “So happy. I love him.”
Lola nodded, “Then I approve.”
Bria told them about their connection that they had since they were kids and the girls all smiled.
“Well, you hit the jackpot girl. I’m happy for you.”
Bria knew that Ella’s first husband was a douche and hadn’t treated her well, so for her to approve was huge.
She hugged her friends and took one of the bouquets of flowers to put in her office.
She had Ella put the rest around the store.
“I want everyone to enjoy them. They are so happy and bring so much joy.”
Everyone laughed and Bria went back to work with a smile on her face.
Yep. She was in love and there was nothing else to it.
