“You have guns in your house?” she asked.
All three sisters looked at her. “Yes,” Lily said. “Zane has them locked in the bedroom away from the kids. But he’ll never be without one. That part of his life is in the past, but it won’t be forgotten. He’s a protector.”
“Reese has a few locked up too,” Poppy said. “I don’t like them, but I understand the whole protecting what is yours thing.”
“Does Thomas?” she asked Rose.
“Yeah. Just one. I think it’s the same thing. The protection part of it, but I haven’t seen it and don’t know the combination. I should though. You never know. I’d do whatever it took to protect my family too.”
“Are you afraid of guns?” Poppy asked her. “I don’t like them.”
“No,” she said. “My brother Gavin is a sergeant on the police force. Noah is a fireman, but he has guns too. They go to the range together. I guess I just don’t think much of it at all.”
“And it’s not part of this meeting,” Lily said. “I know you’re busy, Heather. Or I should say excited about something?”
She pushed Luke from her mind, as hard as it was, and a smile filled her face. She might have been wiggling in her chair on top of it.
“I am. Thanks, you three, for meeting with me. I’ve got an idea of sorts.”
“We figured you did,” Rose said.
She could have just brought the idea to Lily, but she knew when it came to products like this, a new line, it had to pass by all three.
This was something that she felt just fit into her wheelhouse and she’d spent months getting the right scent to be both appealing and work as aromatherapy and medicinal properties.
“So,” she said. “I know new scents go through Lily and all, but I thought of maybe a new product too. They kind of go hand in hand.”
“Let us hear it,” Rose said.
“Not just candles, but room sprays. I guess, knowing that my brother is a fireman, he’s always in my ear to not light candles or leave them lit. My mother has complained that she likes the scents but gets sick of Noah lecturing her. She actually gave me the idea.”
“It has merit,” Poppy said. “I love our body sprays. And they are good for covering up smells in the bathroom.”
She giggled. “Only you would use it that way,” Rose said.
“This way Reese doesn’t know if I was just reapplying body spray or not,” Poppy argued.
“We all poop,” Rose said. “He knows what you are doing.”
Heather laughed at the conversation going back and forth between the two sisters. They bickered the most.
“It’s still not ladylike,” Poppy argued.
“Enough, you two,” Lily said. “The floor is Heather’s.”
“This is entertaining too,” she said. “But as I was saying, that crossed my mind to mix the room sprays and body scents. It can’t be with everything though. Who wants to walk around smelling like cinnamon or clove? Or even ginger, though ginger does have benefits to the skin and I’m working on that one.” She waved her hand. “I’m mixing my products and thoughts.”
“What do you have for us?” Lily asked.
Heather brought a spray bottle out. “Honeysuckle and clove. Though you might not want to smell like it yourself, in your house, it’d be a great air freshener and be more natural. As if someone was cooking, with the undertones of vanilla and jasmine in the honeysuckle and the warm woodsy scent of cloves. A nice fall scent.”
“Give me,” Poppy said.
She handed the bottle over, Poppy gave it a little squirt and the room smelled like her grandmother’s kitchen.
“This is yummy,” Rose said. “It makes me want to eat.”
“I know, right?” she asked. “I’d rather spray this around my place than Lysol or anything fruity. Fruity is good too, but in the winter months, this is just nice and pleasant.”
