"Preparing"
I'm rushing around the shop when Axel walks in. "Everything okay? I can hear you thinking from the front." He sits at the stool and looks at me.
"Everything is fine. I'm just trying to get everything in place." The shop opens in two days and I'm so flustered getting things ready.
"Is there anything I can do to help? Grab anything? Mix anything? Whatever you need me for, I'm here." I walk over to the table and sit in the stool next to him.
Placing my head into my hands. "Honestly, I don't know where to start. I need to gather everything and put it into place and I have to start baking tomorrow."
"Well, let's see. The shop is cleaned from top to bottom, you have everything you need in stock and you just need to pull everything out and prepare right?" I nod my head with it still being in my hands. Hoping he is looking at me.
"Okay then let's get going. You make a list and I'll pull out what we need. You have everything labeled so it will be easy for me. Sound alright?" I remove my hands from my head and nod with a smile.
"Thanks Axel, you've been a big help." I get out a post it note and write down everything I need for tomorrow. The biggest issue is the flour. It's too heavy for me to move and I don't want to have to walk back and forth. I'll need to fix that issue.
Placing the note in Axel's hand we get to work. Together, we pull out the flower, we rearrange the fridge and then we head up front to check the placement of the tables.
I've moved them around a few times but I think the placement is finally right. Madz and Axel both agreed but I also think they were tired of moving them around for me.
It's only been a few hours when I hear a knock on the door. Opening the shades I see its Georgia, Madz mother waving her hands. I unlock the door and let her in.
"Hi Nova sweetheart. Hello Axel, how are you two today." She gives me a sweet smile and hugs us both. Axel hugs her and spins her around.
"Hey mama G. I'm doing okay just hanging out with Nova." He finally sets her down and she takes a look around. She clasped her hands together.
"Eleanor told me how nice the shop looked, but this is beautiful. I didn't know this little shop could be turned into something so nice. You did a wonderful job." That fills my heart up. I want everyone to feel comfortable and cozy in here.
"Thank you Georgia. I appreciate it. I'm going off my dads idea. He wanted to open a shop with me but he passed away before we ever could make it happen." Georgia nods like she understands and she grabs my hand.
"So your father liked to bake as well? What was his favorite thing to make?" Thinking hard I try to remember what he loved. He made me feel like everything he made was his favorite. Then I remember what he told me one time.
