Chapter 4: Second Chances at 3 P.M.

My phone buzzed.

I glanced at the screen.

A new listing for Daisy Perfume.

I’d been watching listings for weeks.

I wanted the real thing for Mom.

I clicked in, no pride left.

Same city.

Maybe this was fate.

The cap showed her initials.

My breath caught.

I burst back in.

"Does Emily have family nearby?"

I couldn’t stand the thought of them selling it.

He sighed, tying on an apron.

"She comes to play with the cats."

It wasn’t much, but it was a start.

I thanked him and left.

I opened a chat with the seller.

My fingers flew over the keyboard.

"Come to my complex."

I felt a wave of relief.

We set a time.

I checked the address twice.

"See you at 3 p.m."

Maybe I could fix this after all.
