Arielle woke up early in the morning and assumed that Vinson was still sleeping at that hour. Thus, seeing him standing at the doorway in a trance when she opened the door gave her a fright. Although she had no idea how long he had been standing there, she did notice the cigarette butts on the ground.
It took her a second to return to her senses. “Why are you here? When did you arrive?” “Five,” came his answer as he offered her a bouquet out of nowhere. Arielle glanced at the bouquet and realized it did not contain flowers. Instead, it was a bouquet of wheat stalks.
The golden wheat stalks symbolized that her restaurant would prosper.
After giving her the bouquet, Vinson planted a kiss on her forehead and congratulated her. “Mrs. Nightshire, congratulations on the opening of your new restaurant. I hope your business will flourish.”
She accepted the wheat stalks happily as tears welled up in her eyes.
Feeling emotional, she choked out,
“You... Well...’
The man chuckled. “What about me?”
“You're a fool! Even if you want to give me flowers, there's no need to wait outside early in the morning.”
Vinson shook his head. “If I don't wait here earlier than usual, I'm afraid you won't wake me up and head to the restaurant without informing me.”
Hearing that, Arielle covered her nose and coughed lightly.
He was right; she was not planning on waking him up.
After all, Vinson had taken time out of his busy schedule to visit her in Lightspring. Last night, he only finished working in the wee hours. Thus, she could not bring herself to disturb his rest.
After a few seconds of silence, she flung her arms around him.
“Thank you...”
She might think of Vinson as a fool, but it did not stop her from feeling like the happiest girl in the world.
There was nothing to complain about a man who waited outside her door before sunrise just to give her a bouquet and congratulate her on the opening of her restaurant.
Vinson's gaze softened as he hugged her back.
