“Tomorrow I leave for Berlin. Today is my last day in Napa and I’m spending the morning at Bloom, giving Diana a hand with the last of the wedding bouquets and boutonnieres. We did the centerpieces yesterday—she, Carolyn, and I—and Carolyn’s good, a natural. She’s only been at the shop a few days, but with her design background and artistic eye, she has a flare for color and shape. She also makes Diana laugh. I’m glad to know that when I leave, Diana—and Bloom—will both be fine, although private...ly it’s a bit deflating to discover I’ve been so easily replaced. I’d kind of liked being Diana’s saving grace. Now I’m just a dentist again. Once the wedding flowers are off, I turn my attention to a special project. It’s a small good-bye gift to Edie and Ruth. I’d make one for my dad, but I don’t think he’d notice, or care. Carolyn offers to give me a hand. I tell her I’ve got it, and I do, because I want this to be from me. I want to give something to Edie, something to thank her for her time and her stories.MoreLessRead More Read Less
