Sending this via mail since I can’t get you on the phone. Everything has been tied up in terms of the old business arrangement and there’s nothing more to worry about legally. No one can be charged with a crime, since we took care of it this way. You have my number if you need me.

It was unsigned, and nothing more was said.

Crime? Was Theo involved in something illegal? Surely not the Theo she knew…

Lila put it back in the folder and slid it into place in the filing cabinet. Already feeling guilty for prying into Theo’s personal affairs, she flicked off the light and then locked up with the key behind the Coffee sign, before heading back to Fireside Cabins.

When Lila had parked Eleanor’s car back in front of the main cabin and walked over to hers, Theo’s truck wasn’t in the usual spot. She went inside to see if he’d left a note or anything. Sweeping through the kitchen, she checked the counters, then moved over to the dinette table, before trying the living room and Edie’s old room—nothing. She peered up at the ceiling. The hole had been patched and spackled over, all the old pipes removed. All the room needed now was a fresh coat of paint and new carpet. So he’d finished the job. Where was he? It was nearing dinnertime. Perhaps he’d gone out to grab a bite to eat. She texted him again and then went around the cabin, turning on the Christmas lights and lighting a candle, the warm cinnamon scent filling the air.

Her feet were tired from standing all day at the coffee shop, and once she’d settled into the comfy sofa and soft lighting at the cabin, she could feel the exhaustion taking over. She washed up, changed into her pajamas, and then warmed up some leftovers. Taking her plate and a glass of wine into the living room, she switched on the TV and navigated to an old Christmas film, snuggling down with her plate on her lap.

As she looked around the room, she considered the idea that being alone wasn’t so bad. But the more she tried to convince herself of this, the more she thought about how much better it would be to have Theo next to her, the feel of his lips on hers lingering in her mind.

While she waited to hear back from him, she finished her food and set the plate on the coffee table. With the movie playing in the background, she scrolled through area painters on her phone, just to see how much it would cost if she were to surprise Eleanor with fixing the cabin. But taking into account the carpet too, and any painting outside of that room, she just didn’t think she could swing it. Lila closed her eyes and tipped her head back, resting it on the sofa, hoping some ideas would come to her. She wanted to find a way to make this Christmas perfect for everyone. Even if it seemed impossible.
