Elle walked into the garage a few days later with a smile plastered on her face, she couldn't wait to tell Gemma the great news!

She threw the office door open so fast she almost took Bobby out with it, "Heh, oops, sorry Bobby I didn't see you there." She said with her hands over her mouth, her face bright red.

He laughed, "It's ok, Elle, you would have just given me an excuse to go home early." He said as he winked at her before walking out of the office and shutting the door behind him.

"Hey baby, what are you in such a rush for?" Gemma said not looking up from the papers scattered across her desk.

"I GOT THE SHOP!" Elle exclaimed while jumping up and down.

"OH! Baby that is so great!" Gemma said jumping up to hug her.

"Oh Gemma, I'm so excited, I'm having my friend back in Denver to send me most of my stuff, and Charming is going to have its own little herbal shop! Elle's Botanicals.Oh, its going to be so great, I'll be able to move out of your house in a matter of weeks! Oh, Gemma, I'm just too exited!"

Gemma just sat on the edge of the desk and listened to the overly excited Elle ramble on and on about her shop, "So, when do you plan on telling Clay? And you also know that you need to give me a grand opening date, so we can throw you a party!"

The shop opened up a lot faster then Elle had planned, and with the first day she had almost the whole town of Charming waiting outside to come in and support her.

Tara had taken the day off to help her, and they both were standing there staring at the large group of people waiting on her to unlock the door. "Here we go!" Tara said hugging her before reaching over and unlocking the door for her.

The day went by extremely fast, and both Tara and Elle were exhausted. She had sold most of her products and made enough money to buy a house that night if she wanted to. She smiled at Jax as he walked in, the bell on the door making a welcoming ding.

"So Bill Gates, how do you feel?" Jax said as he walked over and threw his arm around Tara's shoulders as she finished sweeping.

"Well, I feel like I could use a long hot bath, some chocolates, and maybe, just maybe, a cigar." She said winking at him, "but Tara, you can totally leave anytime you want now, I just want to do a quick inventory before I head out. Thank you so much, for everything."

They exchanged quick hugs before they walked out the door, and once Elle was sure they were gone, she plugged her iPod into the dock, then with one more quick glance to the door, turned on P!nk, and started singing along to Heartbreaker.

She had walzed to the back and was singing and dancing while counting everything down, so as she was really getting into her booty shaking, the cough that came from behind her scared her so bad she dropped the clipboard, and fell backwards into the shelf holding bottles of shampoo.

"Oh shit, Elle, I didn't mean to scare you."

As Elle stood there trying to slow her heart rate, she stared at the dimples that she knew well in her childhood, "David Hale?"

"Deputy Chief David Hale now." He smiled that dimply grin at her and she felt herself blush.

"Well what can I do you for, Deputy?" she said as she bent down to get her clipboard.

He took a step forward, holding his hat in his hands looking extremely young. "Well ma'am, I seem to have a problem sleeping, you see I heard this girl that I've had a crush on since I was well 4 came back into town, and I've been up for hours on end trying to think of a way to ask her out on a date."

Elle stood up and smiled at him before reaching for a small box on the top shelf and tossing it to the man standing before her that looked like a 13 year old boy waiting for a reply to the girl he just asked to the dance.

"Chamomile?" he shot her a questioning look.

"Yes, Deputy, spoon some of that in a hot cup of tea, and you'll be passed out before you know it. " she started to walk out, "Oh, and I'm free tomorrow at noon if you'd like to go grab a milkshake." Then she walked on out.
