“I know! I’ll sell my car when Gray and I go to LA, which should give us some extra cash toward the last ninety thousand dollars.” After Rose sent the money from the fundraiser and house sale, they’d reported Lenny’s harassment, and the IRS had officially ended the collection agency’s relationship with him. They were now on a payment plan for the remaining amount they owed.
They were mostly out of the woods, but she’d feel much better when everything was paid off.
They all took turns hugging each other, though Rose noticed Lily and Nash’s hug was more of an arm pat.
“And,” Rose said, interrupting the cheers, “I’ve secured a new client interview tomorrow to pitch a huge event this summer—landscaping, floral designs, the whole nine yards—for the Fairwick County Wine Festival.”
“That’s the biggest event of the year,” Violet’s eyes widened.
Rose was practically bouncing with excitement. “And it’s just the first step. First, the Wine Festival, then a product line, then a magazine spread, and then next—”
“The world,” Gray chuckled as he grabbed her waist. He met her mouth in a tender kiss, their eyes never leaving each other. What could stand in her way with him by her side and her sisters at her back?
Next, the world.
A chorus of cheers echoed in the small floral shop as the extended Bloom family celebrated their wins and the exciting things yet to come.
