She hit the redial button immediately.

“Finally!” Samantha’s voice crackled through the speaker. “Mia, where the hell have you been?!”

“Samantha—I’m so sorry,” Mia said in one breath. “There was traffic, and I—”

“They’re here,” Samantha cut in. “The delivery guys. They’ve offloaded half, but they’re refusing to bring the rest inside.”

“What? Why?”

“They need a specific invoice—the original hard copy from the vendor. I think it’s in the drawer in your office. And… well… I think you took the keys with you this morning.”

Mia slapped her forehead. “The drawer—crap.

You know what? Tell them I’ll be there soon. Just—try to convince them to start with the smaller boxes.”

“I’ve tried. They didn’t even let me touch the espresso machine or arrange the cooler shelves. They’re saying it’s protocol. Owner must be present. Even if I’m the manager.”

She glanced at Zac, who walked over, wiping his hands with sanitary paper. “What’s going on?”

“I need to go,” she mouthed, then spoke into the phone. “S

    The bell above the flower shop door jingled softly as Mia stepped out from the back room, hands full of ribbon and fresh wrapping paper. Business had been booming since she opened. Orders had tripled. She had to restock in less than a week. Everyone wanted to patronize the new luxury flower shop owned by the kind-hearted wife of Zac Cornell.She glanced at the clock again—eleven-forty.“You keep looking at the time like you’re Cinderella.” Samantha said from behind the counter, sipping on an iced drink and tapping something into the register. ““I swear, if they don’t come in the next ten minutes, I’m gonna scream,” Mia muttered, setting the wrapping down. “This restock was supposed to arrive an hour ago. We’re almost out of white peonies and bridal eucalyptus.”“Well,” Samantha said, setting down her drink, “that’s what happens when the whole city’s obsessed with the Cornell girl who owns the cutest flower shop.”Mia shot her a look, but her lips twitched. “Oh, shut up.”“So what’s

    The following evening, the penthouse was warm with the scent of rosemary and onions. Mia stood at the kitchen island, pulling out plates and garnishes while the last pot simmered gently on the stove. She had sent the kitchen staff home early, leaving behind just enough prepped ingredients for her.This dinner felt personal, and she wanted to finish it herself.Samantha strolled in, barefoot, holding a glass of wine. She leaned against the counter with a grin.“Sam, you could’ve just relaxed. You really didn’t have to come here to help me,” Mia said, arranging plates on the marble surface.Samantha scoffed. “You think I’m here to help? Oh please. I came to get the full gist.”Mia smirked. “About what?”“You know what I’m talking about,” Samantha said, circling the kitchen like a cat. “You, Zac, Angelo. The whole situation. I still can’t believe you all made up.”Mia laughed under her breath. “I just think it’s what’s best for everyone. Things have settled. We’re friends again.”“Oh wo

    Angelo padded down the stairs, dressed in a loose T-shirt and sweatpants, his hair slightly mussed from bedroom activities.Mia stood outside, still calling his phone until the door opened in her face. Angelo stood before her, arms crossed.“Hi, Angelo,” Mia said quickly, nerves prickling under her skin.He didn’t answer at first.“What are you doing here?” he asked flatly, voice cold—but there was a hint of reluctant warmth beneath it.“Can I come in?” She offered a small smile, one that hoped more than it expected.He sighed, glancing away, then stepped aside. “Yeah.”She entered. Moved like a guest in a home she once knew. She turned to sit, but he remained standing, arms still folded.“Aren’t you going to sit?” she asked.He shook his head. “Don’t worry about me. Just say whatever you came to say.”Mia took a deep breath, then stood straighter, choosing her words carefully. “Angelo… I’m really sorry. I know I’ve said it a thousand times, and I know it still won’t be enough.”“I’m

    Zac sat up slightly, meeting her gaze. “What difference would that make, babe?”“I don’t know,” she said truthfully. “But if he won’t see you… maybe he’ll see me. At least give me a chance to hear him out. Scream at me. Slam the door. Whatever he needs to do. I deserve that.”Zac’s jaw tensed. He really looked at her—and said nothing. The room was quiet, but his thoughts were too loud.“I’ll go with you,” he said quickly. “If you’re going to him, then I’m coming too.”“No, Zac.” Mia shook her head gently. “I need to do this alone.”“I’ll wait outside, if I have to,” Zac pressed, voice low. “But I’m not letting you walk in there by yourself.”“Why? You think he’s going to hurt me?”“Not exactly,” Zac said in a calm tone. “But heartbreak makes people reckless. And Angelo… I’ve known him for nearly two decades. That man’s been breaking since the day we got involved.”She looked away. The guilt, still fresh.“You’re right,” she whispered.Zac’s hand reached for hers again. She looked up,

    Seth stepped out from his study the moment he was informed he had a visitor. He wasn’t expecting anyone—not tonight. The last thing he expected was to find Angelo seated in his living room, still as a statue, head bowed slightly, fingers laced.Seth’s steps slowed.Angelo barely came here.Maybe once or twice with Zac, years ago—but alone? Never. Any business their families shared had always been handled at the office, behind polished desks and glass walls. Not in his sanctuary.Seth composed himself and strode forward, casually buttoning his cuff as he said, “What do I owe this… pleasant surprise, son?”But Angelo didn’t respond. He was breathing hard. Shoulders tight. Chest rising with every inhale like something was clawing through his ribs. He was practically fuming. Whatever he had seen—whatever had broken him—it was still fresh, still bleeding.Seth’s eyes narrowed. He didn’t ask again. He walked straight to the wine cabinet, pulled out two glasses and a bottle of the vintage he
