WILL JOHNSON IGNORED THE ache in the small of his back, the
inevitable pinch in his most comfortable sneakers, the sticky smear of halfcongealed milkshake on his arm, and smiled at the customer in front of him.

Maybe it should’ve been hard, but actually, it was the easiest thing in the
world. He loved this town, this new life, and most of all, the fact that it was
his name above the door, his name printed on the napkins and on the menu,
and that he controlled all of it. Finally.
Of course, this particular customer strained some of that happiness, but it
was still easier than he’d ever imagined to smile at her and mean it.
“Welcome to Cherry’s,” he said. “What can I get you?”
“Oh, Will,” Giana Moretti said, shooting him her family’s trademark
charming smile, “I forget how beautiful the store is and then I walk in and
I’m just blown away all over again.”
It was practically a crime not to smile at Giana when she smiled at you,
especially like that. But by now he knew a smile was only the beginning.
Out of the corner of his eye he could see Kate, his manager and one of his
three employees, wincing, as Giana reached out and put a hand on his arm.
The arm smeared with milkshake, no less.
But that didn’t deter her, because in the two months Cherry’s had been
open, Will had learned that almost nothing deterred Giana Moretti.
“Thanks,” he said. “What can I get you today, Giana?” Hoping that
maybe this visit would be more straightforward than the last two. Like
maybe Giana would order an ice cream cone or a sundae or a milkshake and
then give him that big Moretti smile right before she walked back out of his
door.
But if he’d been a betting man, he’d have lost.
“Oh, Will, you know exactly what you can get me,” she said, a knowing
light brightening her dark eyes. “And it’s not some of your delicious ice
cream.”
“Unfortunately that’s all that’s on the menu today,” he said, softening the
blow with one of his own smiles.
I’m not on the menu.
Will could acknowledge that he’d had some overly flirtatious customers
through his many years working in food service, but he’d never had one
who wanted what Giana wanted.
Not a date for her. But for her son.
“Oh, what can it hurt?” she questioned. “You just text him—you kids are
always texting, Luca tries to tell me why but I don’t listen.” She waved her
hand, like she was dismissing her nephew’s explanation in real time.
“Enzo’s such a nice boy, Will. Handsome and so smart. A wonderful
painter.”
