greenhouses.”
He got right to work. He noticed the keys to the bigger equipment were labeled and hanging from a key rack on the wall.
When she was sure he was all set and his questions were answered, she returned to the greenhouses where Becky was working. Sarah was at school and would not return until afternoon.

Myrna had the next two days off from the bakery, so she dropped Liam off at school with a big hug and kiss. She handed him his lunch box and watched him until he walked inside the front door. She drove to the town hall to catch up on some paperwork. Four hours later, she walked to the pharmacy, which was only one block away. She liked to check on all of the new inhabitants on their first day of work, just to make sure there weren’t any issues. She knew Chief Hanover would be doing the same thing later on.
She stood in front of the pharmacy and saw Jack staring out the front window, waving to her. She waved back and went inside. Jack was short and stout. He was always seen around town in his crisp white lab coat with the pharmacy name embroidered on it.
She noticed Warren Measly at the back counter, filling a prescription and counting pills. Jack walked her to the back of the pharmacy where the checkout counter was. She noticed he grabbed a bottle of the lotion she used to smoothen out the scars she had. She stopped at the makeup aisle and grabbed some eye shadow and mascara. She tried to remember what Tom had asked her to pick up and remembered deodorant and shaving cream. He used particular kinds because of his sensitive skin. She scooted over to the next aisle and grabbed the items for him.
Jack was waiting at the cash register and watched as Myrna waved to Warren. “How is the first day going?”
He placed the cap on the prescription and smiled. “It could not have gone better. You were right. I think this job suits me.”
“Good to hear.” She handed Jack the money for her goods.
He handed her the change and said, “He’s a great asset to have here. He already gave me some advice for dispensing and accounting. He’s a gold mine. I’m not parting with him.”
Myrna said good-bye and made her way out of the pharmacy with her purchases. She would go to the seamstress’s shop next, because it was only one more block down and she felt like walking a little more.
When she entered, she smiled at Sylvia. “How is your new job coming along?”
“Great! As it turns out, I’m working on your son’s curtains, and Ann wanted to ask if you wanted a matching twin duvet cover. I checked and found out we have enough fabric for one.”
Myrna sat on the opposite side of Sylvia’s sewing station and examined her stitch work on the curtains. She found it superb. If the rehabilitation institute taught anyone anything, it was how to master your craft. She would have made the curtains and duvet herself, but her time was limited as of late. “I think it’s a wonderful idea, and I would love it. Do you have enough to do the same for my bedroom?”
Sylvia ran the bolt of fabric over to the large measuring table and ran the numbers through her head for the drapes. When she was done, she measured out for what she assumed would be a queen-sized duvet. “It will be close, but I think we can do a queen size. King size is out of the question.”
Myrna turned to her. “We have a queen-sized bed, so it will work out perfectly.”
Ann entered the room from the back and smiled as she hooked a thumb at Sylvia. She was a slender, matronly woman who was well loved. “This one is already making me more money.”
Myrna stood and asked, “So there are no problems? Everyone here is happy?”
Ann tilted her head in Sylvia’s direction. “I’m happy and grateful for the help.”
Sylvia concentrated on what she was doing and said, “I’m just grateful for a good job with a good boss.”
Myrna said her good-byes and made her way back to her vehicle at the town hall. She put her purchases on the
