CHAPTER SIX
The next morning, Sage was up and out by eight oâclock. Gabby was waiting on her front porch with two travel mugs full of coffee and a small white bag. She climbed into the van and handed Sage her coffee.
âWhatâs in the bag? Something good?â Sage asked. âIâm starving.â
âMy mom made her famous apple fritters and gave me a dozen. Rory ate over half of them last night and I had to hide these, so we had them for this morning,â Gabby replied, reaching into the bag and handing Sage a sticky pastry.
âThis is such a treat. I love your momâs fritters.â
âShe doesnât make them very often anymore. And when she does, I have to hide them or I wouldnât get any,â Gabby said, laughing.
âFirst stop is my momâs shop to pick up the truck and then right to the storage facility. I donât want to leave Cliff alone any longer than I have to. When we are done there I can drop you off at your house or you can come see the new house and help unload the truck. I can drop you off when I bring the truck back to This and That.â
âI told the girls I would be gone for only a few hours. Iâll have to get back to work so I hope itâs all right if you drop me off after we empty the unit,â Gabby replied, licking her fingers.
âThatâs fine. I appreciate all the help you are giving me this morning.â
âIt will be nice to see your mom again. I havenât seen her much recently.â
âI know, it seems like everyoneâs been busy with their own life so much, we havenât been able to meet up, even for supper. We need to set a night once every couple of weeks to get together,â Sage said, pulling into the parking lot at This and That.
âSounds good to me. Do you like the house Cliff bought? I remember when I was a little girl, my mom and I visited there one day to deliver some flowers that had been delivered to my mom by accident. From what I remember, the lady who met us at the door was nice, but we never entered the house,â Gabby said.
âItâs amazing and itâs hiding many secrets.â
âOnly you would be involved in a place like that,â Gabby replied, shaking her head. âDoes it mean you are going to live there after you get married?â
âI really think so,â Sage answered, smiling. âWe havenât discussed in detail what to do with my house yet. We will either rent it for extra income since there is no mortgage or sell it outright.â
âThereâs a lot of families in Cupston that are looking for reasonable rentals. I donât think youâd have any problem at all renting it out,â Gabby said. âI can think of three families off-hand that are looking.â
âItâs not going to be in the near future, at least I donât think it will be.â
âIt doesnât matter. People are trying to move to Cupston because of how much Moosehead has grown.
