The next morning, Lindi woke only when her phone buzzed repeatedly on the nightstand. It was Carla, her full-time waitress, wondering where Lindi was, as it was time to open the BeeHive for breakfast.

Lindi flew out of bed, washed up hastily at the bathroom sink, dressed in her white long-sleeved tee, black yoga pants and tennies, bundled her hair up in a messy bun, slapped on some mascara and blush, and hurried downstairs to grab her coat and gloves from the closet.

"Lin?" Jack called from the TV room, his voice gravelled with sleep.

"Can't talk now," she called, heading for the garage. "I'm late!" And felt a little pinch of relief at being able to say so. She wasn't ready to forgive and forget.

Thank God it hadn't snowed overnight. Their driveway wound down across the hill and cut back to join the paved road down to the lake shore highway. Lindi drove as quickly as was safe, and in moments, she had parked in the back of the BeeHive's lot, and was jogging to the back door, where Carla, a stocky, dark-haired woman waited for her, thumbing her phone.

"You okay?" Carla asked, eying Lindi. "No offense, but you look like sh--uh, you're kinda pale, and you got those dark shadows under your eyes."

"I'll be fine," Lindi assured her. And wouldn't it be great if she could convince herself? All she wanted to do was crawl back in bed, pull the covers over her head, and just... stay there. Hide out from her life, until Jack came and apologized on bended knee, and swore that he would never again put another woman before her.

She did not know what his explanation was for bringing that redheaded slut into their home, but it wasn't good enough.

And she kept repeating this to herself as her customers came and went, and the morning sun disappeared behind dark, snow-laden clouds over the lake.

Unfortunately, her self-justification for her refusal to listen to Jack wore off as her misery deepened. She was pregnant, and she should have spent the night snuggled up with Jack, sharing the joy of the new life they'd created. Instead they were fighting, and it was as much her fault as his.

By mid-morning, she was ready to burst into tears if a customer so much as frowned at her. Luckily, none of them did, because the BeeHive's food and service was that good.

Remi stopped in at eleven, and straddled one of the stools at the counter. He said hello to Carla and looked with approval at the customers scarfing down pancakes, eggs and hash browns.

"Hi," Lindi said, giving her former cook the big smile she'd given all her customers that morning. "What'll you have?"

Her smile must have looked as false as it felt. Remi patted the counter beside his seat. "You sitting down while I take over for a little bit. That would be good."

Lindi gave him a look of gratitude, but shook her head. "I'm fine. Three of the four booths have already eaten.
