There was nothing particularly personal about it, but knowing he’d noticed what people were saying sent a little warmth through my chest.

I think we might. Maybe monthly. I’m also considering a few other events.

I looked down at the list in my planner.

The next thought came before I could talk myself out of it.

Would you be interested in photographing more of them?

This time, the typing bubble appeared, disappeared, then returned.

Definitely.

One word, but the speed of the answer made me smile.

Another message followed.

Actually, I had a couple ideas while I was putting the gallery together. Not just for the events. The store photographs well, and you could probably use some updated images for the website and social media.

I glanced around my apartment as if someone might be there to see the way my eyebrows lifted.

He had been thinking about Chapter & Charm after the job was finished.

I have been meaning to update those. Meaning to was the important part.

I figured. Your website still has an old café counter in half the pictures.

My mouth fell open.

You looked at the website?

His reply came a few seconds later.

I narrowed my eyes at the screen.

Of course. Very professional.

Extremely.

But it no longer felt like a text exchange between a client and a photographer.

My thumb hovered over the keyboard.

Before I could decide what to say, another message appeared.

It might be easier to talk through the ideas in person. Are you at the store before opening Monday?

I checked the calendar even though I already knew the answer.

I’ll be there around eight-thirty.

I can stop by at nine. I’ll bring coffee.

I smiled before I could stop myself.

Naomi runs the café. She may take that personally.
