THE RED CHRISTMAS balls tucked into the pine boughs with sprigs of
holly berries were super cute and perfectly festive for the holiday season.
Which was exactly why Charli Carlson yanked them ruthlessly from the
window boxes that sat out front of the Bean Bag, Trickle Creek’s popular
cafe located in the bustling plaza. She dropped the decorations into the basket
at her feet until she once more had a blank slate.
“Oh, no!”
Charli looked up to see Annie Darling, her friend and sister-in-law-to-be,
open the door to the cafe. “I really liked those,” she groaned when she saw
what Charli had done. “The boxes looked so beautiful. I swear, I smiled
every time I came in to work my shift.”
“You would smile even if there was nothing but rocks in here.” Charli
crouched and started to sift through the basket of supplies she’d brought with
her. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you without a smile on your face.” She
looked up at Annie, who genuinely was one of the happiest and kindest
people she knew. “Besides, you’re going to love what I do next. Christmas is
over.” Charli rose, a different selection of evergreen branches in her hand.
“It’s a new year, which means a new display.” She started to arrange the
boughs, adjusting and readjusting until they were just right.
“I know I will.” Annie wrapped her arms around herself and shivered.
“Come and grab a coffee when you’re done. It’s freezing out here.”
“Only if you make me one of those vanilla lattes that are so yummy.”
“Deal.”
Her friend retreated inside to the warmth of the café, and Charli focused
on her task. When the evergreen was perfect, she began to place the oversized
pine cones and little silver stars that she’d found on her last trip to the city.
As soon as she’d seen them, she knew they’d look perfect in a January
display. Just the right amount of pop and shine to brighten up a snowy winter
day and draw attention to the cafe doors.
Outdoor arrangements were still
pretty new to her, but when Annie asked Charli if she’d be willing to do
something for the Christmas season, she jumped at the opportunity. The
winter season, when the tourists flocked to the ski hill, brought a lot of traffic
to the town of Trickle Creek and every business in town. Almost every
business.
