Marianne finished boxing up the final batch of Snickerdoodles for the baby shower and set them aside until Mr. Elliot could pick them up. The Saturday morning breakfast rush was, thankfully, over. She’d completed the Alexander groom’s cakes around midnight, the mini cakes at three am and just seconds ago, slid the Holland wedding cake into the cooler along with them. The only thing left was to wait for the sea green roses to set up and then she could put the finishing touches on Jessie’s wedding cake; which she would do after she’d caught a few hours sleep. No sense working on something this important while punch drunk with sleepiness. Especially when she already ahead of schedule. At this rate, she could deliver both cakes tomorrow and then be home in plenty of time to escape into a sleep deep enough that she wouldn’t hear the ringing doorbell from the trick-or-treaters.

Stifling a yawn, she finally had a few spare moments to contemplate the conversations she’d overheard this morning during the breakfast rush. Everyone was all worked up and the gossip was flowing regarding the Alexander party last night. More than one person commented on the change that had come over Jason Alexander. Although he hadn’t accepted either of the two horribly obvious propositions people had overheard, one of them being from the newly divorced mayor herself, more than one person commented that he was friendlier. This resulted in a lively discussion on why that might be.

Marianne ignored the jingle of the front door and concentrated on cleaning up the last set of pans. A group of regulars were positive the change must be because of a female. Bets were being placed about whether he would bring this mystery woman to the wedding tomorrow. She was tempted to accept the invitation Jessie had sent her just to see what type of person could capture the interest of Brisbing’s most infamous bachelor. But then again, maybe not. Jason and the antics of the crazy female population had made life in the small town a lot more exciting. The thought of not having ‘that’ to look forward to was disheartening. No way could the thought of Mr. Hunky being taken have anything to do with the sinking feeling in her stomach that resulted from this idea.

“Ms. Michaels? There’s someone out here to see you.”

“Be right there.” Marianne stacked the pans on their shelf and grabbed the boxed Snickerdoodles on her way through the kitchen doors. She did the customary quick glance around the room, taking note that all the tables were filled with customers and that the display case which held her pastries was almost empty.

“Yes.” She spoke these words under her breath as the sense of satisfaction filled her. Not only was the business going well, but her goal of making her shop a part of the community was becoming a reality. With a lighter step, she turned to the café counter and almost stumbled when she saw who was standing there.
