Savannah stirred and Mike’s arm tightened around her. She smiled at him. “I’m really getting up and out of this bed. I want to go to my own room.”

“Stay in here with me,” he whispered.

“Sorry. We can discuss that later. Right now, I’m headed to my room and I’ll see you when you get back from work this afternoon.”

“Rats. This isn’t what I’d planned,” he teased.

“Look the other way,” she said, stepping out of bed and yanking up her clothes.

“Not for anything will I look the other way,” he replied.

Hiding her grin, she hurried out of the room without looking back. She yanked on her jeans and sweater in the sitting room before grabbing the rest of her things and rushing down the hall to her room.

Almost an hour later after she had showered and dressed for the day, she went downstairs. When she entered the kitchen Mike stood near the sink talking to a short, gray-haired woman with an apron over black slacks and a white blouse. She couldn’t take her eyes off Mike, though. Dressed in a long-sleeved navy denim shirt, jeans and boots, he looked gorgeous.

Scotty sat at the table with a bowl of oatmeal in front of him. “Good morning,” she said, giving him a light hug.

“Savannah, meet Millie Anders who cooks for me. Millie, this is Savannah Grayson.”

“So glad to meet you,” Millie said. “What can I get you for breakfast? We have bagels, orange juice—”

“Thank you,” Savannah said. “I’ll help myself and just get a bagel and maybe a little glass of milk.”

Millie smiled and said she was heading to the market and would be back in a couple of hours.

As Savannah toasted a bagel and selected a strawberry jam, Mike’s cell phone rang and he answered to talk a moment. She wasn’t paying attention until she heard her name. “Yes, Savannah found a gold ring in the creek. This is the year for the legends. It’s gold. I’m still at the house. I told Ray I’d be late this morning.”

He paused to listen before he continued, “We’ll stop in Poindexter’s and let them look at it, but I’m sure it’s gold and it’s been in the creek.” Mike listened a moment. “Sure. I’ll get back with you later. Okay.” He put away his phone and smiled. “That was my brother, Jake. Lindsay has sent a text to each one of them with the picture of the ring you found. They will want to talk to you and see the ring. It’s interesting to have part of a legend turn out to be real. When you do find your true love, you’ll have to get in touch with me so I’ll know that the old legend is based in fact.”

She laughed and turned the gold ring on her finger. “I don’t need to find true love, but I love the ring and the legend is fun to me.”

“Even though my brother Josh is out of town, he’ll still call about the ring. I’ll give him an hour or two.
