Page 65 of Love In Harbor Falls

“Excellent. I will wrap it up for you. Do you want to take it now, or do you want me to have it delivered?”

“I can take it now.”

I removed the painting from the wall and took it behind the counter to wrap it up.

“Colin told me you stopped by the boat this morning,” she spoke.

“I did. I wanted to thank him for our talk last night.”

“He had a rough night. After he saw you and came back to the bar, Olivia called him. Apparently, she started bleeding and got scared, so he took her to the Emergency Room. He was there practically all night.”

“Oh no. Is she okay?” I asked with concern.

“Yeah. The doctor put her on bed rest for a couple of days. She’ll be fine.”

“That was really nice of him to do that for her,” I said, wrapping up the painting.

“Yeah. He’s a really great guy that way. He would help out his worst enemy if they asked.”

I smiled at her as we completed the transaction for the painting and had Luis take it to her car.

“Thank you for your purchase.” I smiled. “It was good to see you again.”

“Listen. I’m having a little dinner party on Saturday night. Say you’ll come. It’s nothing big, just a few friends and, of course, Colin.”

“I’d like that. Thank you.”

“Great. I’ll text you the details,” Katherine spoke before walking out the door.

After Luis loaded the painting in Katherine’s car, he walked back inside.

“Did I hear her say that Colin took Olivia to the Emergency Room last night?”

“Yep. You sure did. Now I know where he was, and who can fault him for being so kind like that.”

“I can honestly say he is the perfect man with a heart of gold. It's very rare to come by these days. Don’t you think?” Luis asked with knitted brows.

I gave him the side eye and walked away. But I knew it was the truth. Colin Young was a perfect man with a heart of gold.

CHAPTER28

Adalyn

Not only was Saturday Katherine’s dinner party, but it was also the grand opening of Annie’s shop. I closed down the gallery for an hour so Luis and I could join in all the festivities of the opening.

“Congratulations, my friend.” I smiled as I hugged Annie.

“Thank you, Addy. I’m so happy.” She beamed with excitement.

“How are you feeling?”

“The morning sickness is taking its toll, but luckily, it only lasts about three hours. Other than that and being exhausted all the time, I’m great.”

“It’s only for the first trimester. You’ll be over it soon enough.”

Her shop was the cutest I had ever seen, showing Annie’s bubbly personality. It was brightly lit with white walls and teal-colored trim to match the teal-colored doors that stood out on Harbor Street. Fine glass cases lined the space with delectable homemade desserts ranging from pies, cheesecakes, cookies, cupcakes, macarons, and chocolates on one side. The other side contained homemade coffee cakes, croissants, loaves of different kinds of bread, and fruit danishes.

“Come in the back, and I’ll give you a kitchen tour.” Annie smiled. “This is where all the magic takes place.”
