He put the paper down and jumped up, went to greet her. After hugging her tightly, he smiled. “I don’t know where ye’ve been, but I’ve never seen ye look so … elated.”
“I’ve just rented my first shop, Blackie.”
He held her away from him, looking genuinely surprised. “Have ye really?”
“I have. Where’s Laura? I want you both to come and see it. It’s only a few minutes away on Town Street.”
“After the concert Laura went ter the church ter help the priest’s housekeeper for an hour. Something about a charity affair.”
“Will you come with me? Now?”
“Wild horses wouldn’t keep me away.”
Emma and Blackie stood outside the shops. “It’s this one,” Emma told him. “With the whitewashed window. The third in the row.”
He looked at her, filled with pride that she had accomplished what she had set out to do a year ago. She was miraculous in a certain special way. There was no one like her. She was a winner.
“Congratulations, Emma. I’m as thrilled as ye are. Well done, mavourneen.”
“Thank you. It’s getting dark. Let’s go home,” Emma said. “And thank you many times over, Blackie. You’ve been so loyal to me, never faltered.”
He merely smiled, and she put her arm through his affectionately.
As they walked up Town Street, neither of them knew then that they had embarked on a journey that would lead them to more success than they had ever dreamed possible. Or that their friendship would be so enduring it would last a lifetime.
