CHAPTER NINE

"I'm glad you had a good time," Julia said over breakfast the next morning.

"I really did. Better than I expected, actually," Colleen admitted as she buttered a piece of toast. She was still full from the evening before and was just having a single slice of toast with her tea.

"That's so interesting about his plans to run for mayor. I wonder what Liam will think of that?"

"What will Liam think about what?" Liam asked as he walked into the kitchen and helped himself to a cup of tea and a bowl of oatmeal. It was his favorite breakfast, and Julia had it waiting for him.

"Ricky wants to be our next mayor," Julia explained.

"Really?" Liam thought about it for a moment. "He might be quite good at that, actually."

"You don't think it's a crazy idea, then?" Colleen asked.

"Well, with anyone else Ricky's age, I would say so, but not Ricky. He has different skills than the rest of us, and they might be well used in a role like that."

"He seemed to think it might benefit his business as well," she added.

"It might. Makes even more sense now why he'd consider running."

"Would you vote for him?" Julia asked.

"I believe I would. Probably wouldn't be a bad thing to have a Donovan in charge of the town."

Liam finished his breakfast and went to change for church, while Colleen and Julia lingered over their tea.

"He also mentioned that it would improve his chances if he was married and seen as a family man," Colleen said.

Julia looked thoughtful, then said, "Maybe he thought you'd like to know he was thinking along those lines, that he's serious?"

"I didn't think of that. I couldn't help but wonder if he was more interested in being mayor than in being married."

Julia was silent for a moment. "All the more reason to take things slow and to be sure before you agree to anything."
