"Like I always have. As long as I can pay my bills, I'm in business. If I don't have money to buy fabric and supplies-and now I have to add wood to the list-as well as for food to eat, I have to make a change."

"When do you think you'll know?"

Cassidy looked at nothing in particular and thought out loud. "This is the fourth of October. I've had a little bit of business, but I don't want to take myself down to nothing trying to make this work. I'm thinking that things will have to go back to the way they were very soon, or by the end of the month I'll be closing."

"What if you were only open a few days a week?"

"That Wouldn't help me unless I find other work. I don't pay rent on the building, so I don't have to take that into account, but as I said, I have to eat and replenish my supplies."

Jeanette looked thoughtful, and Cassidy watched her. However, it wasn't long before her curiosity got the best of her.

"What's going on, Jeanette?"

"Well, it might only be a dream that can't come true, but if you still have enough business and don't have to close completely, I want to buy you out."

Cassidy looked stunned, but Jeanette was not done.

"I talked with Brad about it yesterday, and he could think of no reason for me not to try it. I don't want to be open every day like you are-maybe four days a week-but I would still like to do this if Token Creek will support it."

"Jeanette," Cassidy began, but she could not find the words. "Do you think I can do it?"

"Yes! You sew beautifully," Cassidy said, and she meant it. "And I think being open less is perfect."

225"If work piled up, I could hire someone to help me or even send things with you if you're interested."

"I'm very interested. You do realize I own the building?"

"Yes. I would buy that from you and probably rent out the apartment. And if for some reason it didn't work, I could rent out the shop to some other business owner."

Cassidy was not surprised that she'd thought this through. Jeanette had a good head for such things.

"Well," Cassidy said, a smile on her face, "if I still have a business, you've got yourself a deal."

Jeanette put her hand out. They shook and then laughed like girls before they hugged.

"So tell me," Jeanette began, wanting to know about some of the details she wasn't sure on. There was nothing outstanding to report. Jeanette knew enough about Cassidy's ways to know how she did things and that the business had been a profitable venture before Edson Sinclair came to town.

Jeanette was getting ready to leave when Cassidy remembered one more thing she should share.

"Hiram Brickel didn't pay for his last order."

"Really?" Jeanette asked, surprised. "That won't do at all. I'll just go along and collect it for you."

"You don't need to do that," Cassidy said calmly. "Trace said he would speak to Mr.
