She was living her dream. The Shy Lily was taking shape. A moving company hauled every piece of heavy furniture from her home to downtown, then up a flight of stairs to her shop, where she arranged the groupings. She further cleared out the storage unit. Adding even more pieces. Mirrors, lamps, clocks, and other smaller items created the perfect ambiance. The store’s interior was as old as her antiques. Indoor red brick walls. Soft blue cottage-style shutters on the windows. She had a view of city hall, a historical building restored over time. Quigley came with her to work. They took advantage of a nearby park. The pug was able to stretch his hind legs without contractions, and paw-tap the floor. Their veterinarian was pleased by Quigs’ progress. Alyn hoped he’d be walking by Halo’s return. Or soon after. When late afternoon came, she would join Danny and her mother for supper. She missed spending time with them, but there were only so many hours in the day. Most were spent at her store.
