At the least it would assist take her thoughts off the bakery’s troubles. Closing early at present wasn’t going to assist her pay the payments. Neither was the awful climate that had pushed away most of her afternoon prospects.

The bakery’s cellphone rang, and he or she walked over to reply it. “A Piece of Cake Bakery. How might I aid you?”

“Carly?”

She virtually swallowed her tongue when she heard the butter-smooth voice on the opposite finish of the road. “Sure?”

“It’s Sam.”

Sam. She felt herself grinning like an fool. Why on the planet was he calling her? And apparently she and Sam Weiss have been on a first-name foundation now? Gah. “Oh, Sam…hello.”

“Do you make deliveries?”

No. However for him? “Certain. When?”

“Tonight.”

Um… “I’m closing early due to the climate, however I might drop one thing off on my means house in the event you dwell on the town?”

“Climate?”

“Yeah, this rain is meant to begin freezing quickly.”

“I didn’t know.” His voice…it did all kinds of bizarre issues to her insides, stirring her up and melting her down on the similar time. “By no means thoughts then. I don’t need to put you in danger.”

Oh, no means was she lacking out on this chance. “No, it’s high quality. The roads aren’t speculated to get slick till later. What did you want delivered?” At the least her voice wasn’t doing that Minnie Mouse factor this time.

“No matter you’ll be able to spare,” he mentioned. “I’ll take something you’ve bought.”

Wow. Was he having a celebration or one thing? On this climate? “Okay. How many individuals are you feeding?”

“I’ll take a few of every thing you may have. I’m at 245 Twisted Department Lane. And be happy to tack on a rush supply charge, no matter you want. I admire it.”

“No downside.”

“Bye, Carly.” With a click on, he was gone.

Carly stood for a second, staring on the cellphone. Had that actually simply occurred? Sam Weiss was right here in Haven, he was throwing some sort of social gathering at his home, and he wished her to deliver the sweets? With, like, two minutes’ discover? None of it made any sense, however enterprise had been gradual at present due to the climate, and he or she was struggling to show a revenue on an excellent day. So if he wished to pay her for all of at present’s leftovers, she can be completely satisfied to ship them to him. And if it meant the possibility to see his home and Sam himself once more? All the higher.

In idea.

In actuality, she’d most likely be shy and awkward, however both means, this might make an incredible story to inform her mates at their subsequent Women’ Night time Out.

She hustled into the again for supply containers, then set about filling them. An assortment of cupcakes. Honeyed pecan tarts. A number of completely different sorts of cookies. Black forest brownies. Carrot cake bites. A complete candied lemon pie—why not? She slipped it right into a field.

In case any of his company can be spending the night time—and with the ice they have been anticipating, a few of them won’t have a selection—she packed up a number of containers of breakfast choices as effectively, together with all of her remaining cinnamon buns. She felt barely presumptuous as she began carrying all of it out to her automotive as a result of, goodness, she’d packed loads of containers. The most important order she’d ever assembled, and fully on the fly.

At the present time was formally weird.

Sam had good timing, although. If not for the gradual enterprise day and shutting early for the climate, she won’t have been in a position to pull this off for him on such brief discover. By the point she’d loaded her backseat and trunk with supply containers, she was chilly and moist, however the rain was nonetheless simply rain so she shouldn’t have any hassle attending to his place earlier than the roads turned slick.

Since she hadn’t had a buyer in virtually an hour now, she went forward and flipped the signal on the entrance door from open to closed and locked the door. If she had time, she actually wanted to cease on the market on her means house for a couple of ice storm provides. PB&J fixings. Batteries. Wine.

However first issues first. Within the lavatory, she fastened her bedraggled look in addition to she might. She brushed her hair and freshened her make-up. She’d need to carry on her sensible winter boots; there was no means round it. The bottom was saturated with a full day’s rain, and her toes can be soaked by whereas she unloaded her automotive in anything.

Right here goes nothing.

Swallowing down a ridiculous burst of nerves, she locked the again door and hopped into her automotive. She was on her approach to Sam Weiss’s home! Wouldn’t it be creepy if she took a sneaky image of him together with her cellphone whereas she was unloading all of the goodies? Her mates have been by no means going to consider this really occurred with out photographic proof.
