AMANDA CHANGED INTO her work clothes, complete with a red bandana to cover her hair and a protective dust mask, and went back to the kitchen to give her small crew instructions. They spent the rest of the afternoon moving furniture, taking down long curtains crusted with years of dust, and rolling up the oriental carpets so they could be moved outside and the dirt beat out of them. The whole team moved through the Inn room-by-room, starting on the ground floor. Roy and James seemed to be doing most of the heavy lifting, but everyone pitched in where they could, and there was a lot of joking and laughter as they methodically cleaned everything.

When they moved upstairs, Amanda headed back to the kitchen to make a fresh pitcher of lemonade and put some cookies on a tray. Oscar tagged along with her, following close by her heels wherever she went. As Amanda opened the freezer to get some ice, she could hear the thumping and scraping sounds overhead. The crew was moving the antique bedroom furniture away from the walls and everything was being wiped down and vacuumed. No more dust bunnies, no more cobwebs. Even if she couldn’t open the Inn for guests, just getting things clean and in order made her feel a bit better.

And, if a miracle happened, she’d be as ready as possible for new guests.

Balancing a tray with pitcher and pastries, she headed back up, Oscar right with her, rubbing against her ankles in a constant bid for attention.

“Nothing on this tray for you, buddy,” she said, winking at the cat.

He sat down at the top of the stairs, apparently unconcerned, and started licking his front paw.

“Looks like I’ve got a new housemate.”
