A New Chapter Begins
After much deliberation, Linda made her decision. She would take over the candy shop. The Coles handed her the keys with a sense of pride, and Linda promised to honor the legacy they had built together. It wasn’t just a business transaction; it was an act of trust, love, and shared history. Linda knew that she was stepping into a role that would require all of her energy, all of her devotion, but this time, it would be for herself as well.
The First Day as Owner
Linda’s first day as the new owner was both exhilarating and terrifying. She stood behind the counter, surrounded by the familiar jars of candy, and realized that this was no longer just about preserving the shop—it was about shaping its future. The Coles had handed her a piece of their hearts, and now, she had to care for it, to make it thrive. She knew the road ahead would be challenging, but it was a road she was ready to walk.
