“Hey.” I hugged her.
“I have fifteen minutes until my appointment. I can’t wait to show you this.” She grinned as she held up a white box with gold trim that resembled an envelope. “Let’s go into the kitchen so that I can grab a bottle of water.”
We stepped into the kitchen area, and she set the box on the island.
“Open it,” she said as she reached into the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of water.
When I lifted the lid, I saw twelve heart-shaped chocolates with different initials on them.
“These are cute. Where did you get this?”
“Eat one,” she said.
Grabbing a piece of chocolate, I popped it into my mouth.
“Oh, my God.”
“Right?” The corners of her mouth curved upward. “I got them from Shaun. They’re samples from a start-up company in New York that wants him to invest.”
“This chocolate is amazing. Can I have another?”
“Yeah. Of course. Take the whole box. Shaun has more of them he’s bringing home. Anyway, notice the initials on the chocolate?”
“Yeah. That’s the first thing I noticed. What do the initials stand for?”
“Anything you want. Look at the inside of the lid. You can have any message you want printed on it. How fabulous would these be for the wedding favors? Heart chocolates with yours and Conner’s initials in an elegant box with a thank you message printed inside the lid.”
“Jenni, you’re brilliant! I love it!” I grinned.
“The boxes also come with any ribbon you want in any color.”
“How do you know all this?”
“As soon as I saw the box and the chocolates, I made Shaun call the company. Jerry, the owner, said he could have the boxes ready and to you within a month. What do you think?”
“Yes. These will be perfect for the wedding.” I reached over and hugged her. “Thank you. How much are they?”
“Hello. They’re free.”
“Stop it. They are not,” I said.
“Yeah, they are. I told Shaun he’d be dumb if he didn’t invest in this company, so he’s meeting with Roger and his wife in a few days, and we get free chocolate for life!” A grin crossed her face. “Shit. I’m late. Georgia’s going to kill me.” She glanced at her watch. “We’ll talk later.”
CHAPTER5
Conner
I entered the kitchen area to dump out the coffee and saw Charlotte standing at the island.
“What is wrong with you?” I asked. “You know I hate cinnamon.”
“That girl is in love with you, Conner.”
“She is not.” He chuckled. “And even if she was, can you blame her?” A smirk crossed his lips. “I think someone is jealous.” I wrapped one arm around her waist from behind and softly kissed the side of her neck.
“I am not jealous.” I grabbed a piece of the heart-shaped chocolate and turned around. “Try this.” I popped it into his mouth.
“Damn. That’s really good chocolate. Where did you get it?”
