Chapter 14

Charlotte looked at both of them studiously as they returned to the dining room where everyone lingered talking casually.

They all turned toward the front door as they heard a simultaneous knock and someone shouting, “Yoo hoo!”

Lacey hurried to greet the tall red-haired woman who was already standing in the reception hall.

“Hi,” she stuck out her hand, “I’m Tricia Moore; I work at the Elkville Café. I meant to get here before your grand opening to bring these for your guests.”

Lacey shook her hand and took the envelope she held out. She opened the packet and discovered several free meal coupons.

“Why, thank you!” she said, “I know my guests will appreciate these. I’ve heard good things about the menu at the café.”

Tricia smiled broadly and said “Well thank you. We are always happy to welcome a business that will send patron’s our way.”

Lacey asked her if she would like the fifty-cent tour. Tricia seemed very interested and her bright eyes darted back and forth trying to take in everything at once.

Lacey showed her through the Inn, of course, skipping the occupied rooms. Tricia seemed pleased with everything and oohed and ahhed in the appropriate places. Then she said she needed to get back to the café before the lunch rush hit. She waved gaily to everyone and took her leave.

Wyatt looked after her thoughtfully.

Lacey intercepted the look and wondered what was behind it. Was there something between them? Tricia looked a bit older than Wyatt did but hey, cougars were very in right now. Lacey dismissed her jealousy and decided she was not going to be “that” girl.

Charlotte watched the interchange between them closely. Her sister radar was up, was it justified?

The Braverman’s and Joan and Suzy wandered upstairs to get ready for their planned activities.

Wyatt received a phone call that demanded his presence at the station.

The Inn seemed bereft to Lacey as he hurried out to the cruiser.

Charlotte clucked her tongue, her sister had it bad, and so quickly too.

Lacey realized that once again, he had left, and she had not asked him all the questions she wanted to about his wife and even his life. Damn…damn, damn,death and murder.
