Chapter Eight

The other three roommates applauded when Cara finished her guitar solo. The new sheet music was a blessing from heaven—even though she was very talented, they’d all gotten tired of her other songs, and it was great to see her adding more music to her repertoire. The thing that frustrated Laurie was that Cara wrote her own music, but she’d never been brave enough to perform it for them. Laurie had caught a snippet here and there through the wall as Cara composed and she thought Cara’s music was just as good as anything she’d heard on the radio, but her shy roommate’s insecurities wouldn’t let her open herself up that much.

“I guess it’s my turn for some show and tell,” Laurie said, pulling out the contract she’d gotten in the mail that day from Millie’s lawyer. She held it up with a grand flourish.

“I’ve read this over several times, and I can’t see a single thing I’d want to change,” she said. “I can’t believe how generous Millie is being—I’m getting far more out of this arrangement than she is.”

“She must not think so or she wouldn’t be doing it.” Morgan leaned forward and took the contract, glancing over it. “Maybe her payoff comes in knowing that the shop will be in good hands.”

“Is she independently wealthy or something?” Regan asked, moving out of the way as Cara swung her guitar case onto the sofa. “It doesn’t sound like she’s planning on money from the sale of the shop for her retirement.”

“She’s hinted that she’s got some money set aside, but we’ve never discussed it,” Laurie said. “I’ve been to her house, though, and it’s huge. She also talks about how she’d like to take a cruise to Greece next summer. I’d say there’s definitely some money there somewhere.”

“So, when do you sign the contract?” Cara asked. She closed up her case and set it on the floor next to the couch. Maybe now that she knew some new songs, Laurie wouldn’t cringe when she saw that case enter the living room. The day her friend was brave enough to share what was in her heart and soul and stopped relying on songs other people had written, Laurie would be the first to jump up and cheer.

“I’m meeting Millie and her lawyer for lunch tomorrow at Frannie’s.”

“A business lunch. That sounds so official,” Regan said, making air quotes with her fingers.

“I’m pretty excited.” That was the understatement of the whole entire century. Laurie was so keyed up, she was starting to wonder if she’d even be able to go to sleep that night. She’d already chosen out her lunch outfit—and changed her mind about it—four times. “Millie’s even going to close the shop for an hour so we can go without worrying about things while we’re gone.”

“Very official,” Morgan said, obviously impressed.

Just as Laurie predicted, she couldn’t sleep that night. Or was it that she couldn’t sleep because she’d convinced herself she wouldn’t be able to? Either way, she was awake for hours.
