Serenity would not take no for an answer as she put the two hundred bucks in Camryn’s palm. Camryn felt the money with her fingers before pulling one bill and giving it back to Serenity. She said, “If you insist, I’ll take half the money.”
Since the girls were not close yet, Serenity relented and took back a hundred-dollar bill from Camryn before replying with a grin, “Thank you, Ms. Newman. Your flowers here are beautiful. I’ll be sure to come back for more.”
Camryn beamed. “You’re always welcome. You can call me in advance if you need anything. Just let me know who it is for, and I’ll have the flowers picked out and wrapped up. You can come and collect without waiting.”
Turning on her heel, she went to the cash register. Camryn held onto the table as she got behind the cash register and pulled the drawer to get a box of business cards. She retrieved a business card before making her way back to Serenity.
“This is my business card, Mrs. York.”
Serenity drew close and took the card. “You can expect a phone call from me when I need your service. Goodbye now, Ms. Newman.”
“Have a nice day, Mrs. York.”
Camryn felt her way out of the cash register and walked out with Serenity. With Serenity’s footsteps fading into her ride, Camryn waved her hand and silently bade farewell.
Serenity put the bouquet on the passenger’s seat, buckled up, and told Camryn, “Ms. Newman, you should go inside.”
Camryn smiled.
She only turned around and returned to her shop when Serenity started the engine and drove off.
Several minutes later, Serenity’s worthless junk of a car, as Carrie put it, entered York Corporation.
Zachary had a lot of cars in the garage. He also gave Serenity a new vehicle on Valentine’s Day, but Serenity did not accept the gift. Serenity did not replace her car even after the couple kissed and made up.
This was the first car Zachary had ever given to her, so it meant something to Serenity.
That was Zachary’s cue to stop getting her car replaced. The type of car she drove did not define her as his wife.
