Kaimani, the savvy owner of Petal & Stem, knows how to make the most of every holiday rush. While Valentine's Day isn't her favorite—she prefers flowers that say more than I’m supposed to buy these—she capitalizes on the demand, crafting breathtaking bouquets for hopeful romantics across Sable Falls.
This year, Kaimani is once again teaming up with The Bakehouse, another beloved gem of the Central Market, for their ‘Love Bites & Blooms’ collaboration—a perfect pairing of flowers and decadent baked goods. The packages are always a hit, but this year they’ve added an extra dash of whimsy: a Secret Admirer option, where customers can send anonymous gifts to their Valentines.
Trip McCall, who manages the business side of The Bakehouse while his sisters work their magic in the kitchen, finds the idea of the Secret Admirer package particularly intriguing. He’s had feelings for Kaimani since they first met years ago, but he’s never found the right moment—or the courage—to tell her. This could be his chance to finally bridge the gap between friendship and something more.
As Valentine’s Day dawns, the market hums with life, the air fragrant with roses and warm pastries. Trip waits, heart racing, as his carefully chosen gifts make their way to Kaimani. Will she see through the anonymity to the heart behind the gesture—or will his feelings remain a secret, just like the sender?
