Sumi is on top of the world. Well, as on top as one can be after learning a relative one never met has died, leaving one a small fortune. Taking this as a sign to follow her dreams, quitting her job, moving to Cambric Creek, and opening a flower shop is the obvious move.

“So you’ve decided to give in to the Devil,” said the priest. John Vianney started back in dismay—"No, Father!" "But you just told me you were giving up your studies for the priesthood," responded Father Balley.
