Tessa reached into her apron and pulled out a bunch of business cards, opening them like a fan. “Guess what these are, Mom and Gram?”

“Well, business cards, obviously,” her mother said. “But whose?”

“Turns out that some restaurant owners and a specialty bread place caught an episode or two of my videos, and they went in and checked out the bakery. They’re interested in buying our bread.”

Turns out both businesses were profiting from them working together. Bravo.

Tessa’s mom got a little teary-eyed. “Who knew that something you started for fun would create such a pot of riches?”

“Well, not riches yet,” Tessa said, patting her hand. “But this is a very good start.”

“It’s the power of social media,” Vivienne, who was leaning against the end of the booth, said.

“Vivienne,” Leo said. “We owe you a lot. Thank you.” He smiled at Tessa, who looked tired but happy. It made him think he’d like to see that relaxed and contented look on her face for an entirely different reason.

“Hey, no prob,” Viv said, waving her hand dismissively. And smiling from ear to ear. “Turns out you two are a magnetic couple. You have great chemistry on film.” She shook her camera a little.

Tessa frowned. “You still haven’t told us what footage you uploaded.”

“I swear I didn’t upload any video that Juliet might have taken of you after you threw up in the bathroom on your wedding day.” Then she chuckled.

“Dad,” Leo said before Tessa had the opportunity to follow through on a death threat or at least snatch Viv’s phone. “You look tired.”

His dad chuckled. “I haven’t been this tired since your mother was alive and business was booming. Thank you, Leo. Thank you, Tessa. Looks like all your fancy new ideas worked.”

“Not so fancy,” Leo said. “Just a little bit…updated. Same good food.”

“Well, you were right,” his dad said.

Whaaat?

“But maybe I was right, too,” his dad added.

Okay, the world was back to normal again. “What do you mean?”

“People loved you both as a couple. They loved you as a married man in charge of a family restaurant. You’ve both worked really hard to make this happen.”

Well. Full-blown praise from his dad, and a thank-you to boot. He’d take it and run with it.

“Our families have that in common, Marco,” Joanna said. “Work ethic.”

After the delicious meal, Tessa stood to help Leo clear the table. “Where did Juliet go?” Leo asked.

“She left early,” Tessa said, her brows knitting with worry. “Jax showed up with a date.”

Her mom and grandmother looked at each other. “Maybe we’ll bring her some takeout.”

“And dessert,” Vivienne said.

As Tessa walked into the kitchen with Leo, she said, “Maybe I should go, too.”
