“I’d love to be able to support one of my players’ wives and have a local shop do it.” Heat creeps over my cheeks. It’s still weird to hear myself be called Declan’s wife.
“We’d love to help you out.”
“Fantastic.” I hear her clap her hands over the line. “Is the contact email on your website still a good one for you?”
“It is.”
“Great. I will get my assistant to send over the details to you. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.”
“Thank you so much for this opportunity. I really appreciate it.”
We end the call and nerves start to take over. Declan told me about the event. How every member of the staff is invited to receive their Stanley Cup Championship rings. It’s a night that all the players have been looking forward to.
And we’ll be doing the flowers.
“Leon!” I shout.
He’s dashing out of the back office, a panicked look on his face. “What’s wrong? Is everything okay?”
“Bexley Hart called and we are now doing the flowers for the Black Diamonds ring presentation dinner in two weeks.”
I imagine my face looks much like his. “Two weeks? Do you know what we’ll be doing?”
The tablet on the corner of the workbench dings. Grabbing it, I see the email and pull it up. “Umm, a lot.”
I pass it over and watch as his eyes go wide. “Wow. We’ve got our work cut out for us. Three dozen centerpieces plus a few pieces for the stage?”
“We’re going to have to work a lot of overtime to get this done.”
Leon crosses his arms and looks at me. “You already have ideas, don’t you?”
I smile at him. “You know I do.”
He passes the tablet back. “You take the lead on this one.”
“Really?”
He nods. “Get everything ordered and I’ll help with assembly, but we all know how much youlovethe Black Diamonds.”
I shake my head at him and start tapping away to our vendors’ sites. If we’re going to pull this off, I need to order flowers today. “I’m going to ignore you, because I need to start ordering flowers now.”
Glancing at my phone, I have just enough time to get over to my favorite wholesaler before it closes.
Maybe I can even rope Declan into coming with me.
“Will you be okay manning the shop?”
“Honey, please. I can run this place with my eyes closed.”
Locking the tablet, I press a kiss to his cheek and run into the back room to grab my things. “Thanks, Leon!”
