Intro
Audrey glanced out the salon window while organizing her workstation and couldn't help but smile when she spotted Owen Carter across the street helping an elderly woman carry groceries to her car.
Unfortunately, Tessa noticed immediately.
"You're staring again."
Tessa laughed.
"Audrey, you looked out that window the second he walked by."
Before Audrey could come up with a defense, the salon door opened and Evelyn Carter stepped inside carrying a basket of flowers.
"Good afternoon, girls."
