Georgette’s eyes grew wet, and her smile crimped in at the edges. She squeezed his arm. “You didn’t go to school so you could stay here. You always wanted to get away.”
True. But that had only been for a handful of reasons, and those reasons were gone now. “Things change. I want to be here. With you.” A sudden thought occurred to him. “I mean, if you want to keep the dining room at the bakery, I can work something else out, and I can get my own place if you want your privacy, but I can’t take care of you if—”
“Nonsense. You’ll stay here, of course. I wouldn’t have it any other way.” She leaned forward. “Now, about this bookshop.”
He outlined his business plan for her, with his vision for the store itself. He had his own seed money, but he’d also be taking out a small loan to do the renovations. The more he talked about it, the more excited he became.
He was about to get the binder with his notes from the truck when the doorbell rang.
“That will be the moving team,” Georgette said, rising slowly.
“Take it easy, Gran. I’ll get it.” He put on a smile for whoever had volunteered to help with his move, excited to also tell them about the bookstore and get some momentum going.
He opened the door.
And came face-to-face with the second-to-last person he wanted to see.
