Ethan Thompson had returned to his hometown after years away, determined to make a fresh start. As an event planner, he had a keen eye for detail and a passion for creating unforgettable experiences. When he walked into Sophia's flower shop, he was struck by her talent and warmth.
"Sophia, I need your help with a high-profile wedding," Ethan said, his eyes locked on hers. "The bride is a socialite, and the groom is a close friend of mine. I want everything to be perfect."
Sophia's eyes widened as she took in the challenge. "I'd love to help! What's the theme, and what's the budget?"
As they discussed the details, Sophia's creativity shone through, and Ethan found himself drawn to her infectious enthusiasm. He couldn't help but notice the way her smile lit up the room.
"I have an idea," Sophia said, her eyes sparkling. "Let's create a garden-inspired theme, with flowers and greenery throughout the venue. It'll be romantic and elegant."
Ethan's eyes met hers, and for a moment, they just stared at each other. "I love it," he said finally, his voice low and smooth.
As they worked together, Sophia felt a flutter in her chest. Was she getting in over her head with Ethan?
