“What’s important is that you get up and you keep going,” Olivia said.
“You think I’m doing the right thing going all in for this boutique? Some days I look at my work and I’m like it’s so common.”
Olivia laughed.
“Don’t you stress over this. You’ll find that right now you are unsure but as you go along, I think you’re going to be able to see the genius in this endeavor on both sides.”
“Both sides?”
“Oh yes,” Olivia said as she picked up a scone,” you’ll be able to see that Austin was the best thing for you relationship and business wise.”
Claudia wasn’t as sure as her sister, but she picked up a scone anyway.
“To seeing where things go,” Claudia said as the sisters toasted with scones.

Austin had to admithe wasn’t eager to get to the boutique when the message from Claudia was we have a problem.
When he walked into the boutique he made a right to go to the office. sitting inside was Sasha flipping through a magazine.
“So, I see that you got the message too,” Austin said.
Sasha smiled.
“I was told I'm here just for moral support.”
“Moral support? that makes me the bad guy,” Austin said.
Sasha shrugged and kept flipping through the magazine.
“Well, since we're already together I would also going to bring up the fact that we need to name the building”
Sasha gave him a look and nodded and then went back to her magazine. Austin was jittery and impatient.
“I don't suppose you have any idea what this could possibly be about,” he asked Sasha.
She shook her head without even looking up from the newspaper.
Austin tried to think of what it could possibly be over the last week. She had barely seen him much to his dismay. he thought the both of them working together trying to get a show would have them with one another daily. Whenever they were together, she kept him at arms distance that made him feel as though he were a stranger.
He knew that both of them were trying to get this business up and running but it didn't stop the fact that he respected her and thought she was amazing. When he looked at her, he saw this strong accomplished woman that he would be proud to call his own. as if she knew he was thinking about her Claudia walked into the office.
He could tell her hair had been tousled by the wind. her cheeks were a bright red, and her eyes were full and bright. She wore a yellow dress that flowed behind her like royalty. She reminded him of a busy bee about her business, then she looked up and saw him and gave him a nod. lately more and more he wished she would look at him with more than just a cursory glance.
“I'm so glad you were able to make it Austin we have to talk,” she said as she took a seat at the table and then pulled out some papers.
“You made it sound important. I didn't think there was anything going on yet for us to be in trouble?” Austin said trying to make a joke.
“Well, there are some things we just need to get out of the way,” she said.
Austin held his hands up and then took a seat opposite her on the other side of the desk.
“You're right. I want to confess now so that we don't all have to go through each and every one of the things I've done. I have been telling people that you're beautiful of me inside and out. I've told them that the reason you make such beautiful creations is because you're such a kind and gentle woman and it's an honor to work with you.”
He could see he had stubbed Claudia for all of two seconds.
“What is wrong with you and why are you saying that? and please tell me you are joking that you're going around town saying that?”
