“Nah, it’s slow. A lady came in and bought a small bouquet for her daughter about an hour ago, but no one since.”

“I thought maybe we could go out for a nice dinner tonight,” Leo said.

“I do. I like it a lot.” He poured water into a plant. “I think this is the first time you’ve called me that.”

“Since we’ve spent every night together for the last couple of weeks, I think we can call ourselves that. Don’t you?” Leo asked.

“I think so.” He finished watering one row of plants and headed back to the sink to refill the can.
