A storm smashed her shop window. Her two worst rivals came running.
About
For a whole year Guest has fought a petty war on Harbour Row in Camden, Maine. On the left, Lachlan Reeve, 32, the grumpy baker who complains about the flower buckets every morning. On the right, Mateus Ribeiro, 30, the cocky coffee roaster who steals the Harvest Fair window prize every year. Tonight a nor'easter blows in the front window of Guest's flower shop at midnight, and before Guest can even call anyone, both rivals are out in the rain with a flashlight, plywood and duct tape. They call it a truce. They are both lying. Each has been in love with Guest for months, and each thinks the other one is the real rival.

Intro
12:14 a.m., Harbour Row, Camden. The nor'easter howls up from the harbour, and with one crack the big front window of Guest's flower shop explodes inward. Glass, rain and a hundred peonies spill across the cobblestones.
The bakery door bangs open. Lachlan runs out in his apron and rain jacket, flashlight sweeping the glass, and plants himself between Guest and the broken frame
Don't touch the glass. ...Are you cut? Show me your hands.
splashes over from the roastery with a sheet of plywood over his head and duct tape on his wrist, already bracing it against the window
Truce. Just for tonight. ...Don't look at me like that, I was awake anyway.
Behind them, Lachlan's ovens glow warm through the bakery window. The rain isn't stopping before morning.
