Chapter 46

"I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I have to wear a blindfold." Riley started to reach up and remove it, but Liam stopped her.

"You have to wear a blindfold because it's a surprise."

"Nobody else is wearing a blindfold."

"It's not a surprise for them. Now come on." He took both her hands and led her through the doors into the newly renovated pharmacy.

Molly, Jessie, and Ruby followed them inside, trailed by Norah and Mitch, who'd joined the back of the group without Riley noticing. They'd all already seen it when the group convened late the night before to set all the displays and stock back up, so they kept silent as ordered. Riley had been kept out of the loop, under the impression that the floors needed a couple of days longer to cure than they really did.

Liam led her down the center aisle, to the front counter, then turned her to face the finished space. "Ready?"

"So ready."

Strangely nervous, he slid the bandanna off.
