‘Those sessions are as good as free advertising.’ Rob grinned as he rolled up the last of the mats.
‘Yes, you’re right.’ She bit down on her bottom lip. ‘I think this could actually work, you know. Actually, earn some decent money.’
‘Of course it will.’ Standing up, Rob pulled her in for a hug. ‘I’ve always believed in you.’
Carmen laughed. ‘I guess maybe I just needed to believe in myself, too.’
‘Yep.’
A loud knock sounded on the door of the hall and Carmen kissed him on the lips before opening it. ‘Hi, how can I help you?’
‘Hi, I’m so sorry to disturb you, but I don’t suppose you know if there’s a bakery around here, do you, please?’
Carmen smiled as the woman in front of her swung her holdall from her shoulder to the floor. ‘There sure is. Is it The Cornish Bay Bakery you’re looking for?’
‘Yes, that’s right. I’m volunteering there, starting tomorrow.’ The woman frowned. ‘I’m hoping the owner won’t mind me arriving early.’
‘I’m sure she won’t. Elsie, who owns the bakery, is lovely. In fact, I’ve just finished volunteering there.’
‘Oh, really?’
‘Yes. My name’s Carmen and this is my partner, Rob.’ She indicated behind her as Rob waved, causing him to drop half the mats he was carrying.
‘I’m Tammy.’
‘Lovely to meet you, Tammy.’
‘You two go on ahead if you like and I’ll pop these away and close up before meeting you at the bakery.’ Rob grinned as he picked the mats up again, balancing the rolls on top of each other.
‘Okay, thanks. Come on, Tammy, I’ll take you to the bakery.’
