Suzie walked through the dining room, the living room, and the front lobby to make sure that everything was as it should be. It was easy for things to get out of place when they had multiple guests. She straightened a few pillows and turned on some accent lamps to give the living room a cozy feel. Even though Dune House had been quite a surprise in her life she had come to love it. It was almost as if she never had a home until she settled there. Perhaps Paul was part of that, too. Just when she was certain that she would never need another companion he appeared in her life.

As Suzie stepped out onto the deck off the dining room to check on the seating there, she caught sight of a patrol car pulling into the large parking lot. Suzie pushed one of the chairs up against a metal table then brushed her hands off. She walked out to the parking lot just as a young man stepped out of the patrol car. In uniform Jason should have looked older, but to Suzie he always looked youthful.

“Morning Jason.”

“Hi Suzie. I just wanted to stop in and see how everything is going.”

“Fibber. You’re here because you know that Priscilla Kane and Neil Runkin are arriving today.”

“Okay, maybe.” He smiled. “I just want to make sure that no one is hassling you.”

“I’m fine, Jason.” She thought about mentioning Maurice, but she didn’t want to cause the man too much trouble. She knew that he was desperate to protect the future of his business and she assumed that he was harmless.

“Good. Well, you know I’m just a phone call away.”

“I know.” Suzie nodded.

“Is Paul in yet?”

“No, not yet.”

“Can you let me know as soon as he docks?”

“Sure. Is everything okay?”

“Yes, there’s just something I need to talk to him about.”

“Okay, no problem.” Suzie smiled at him. “Thanks for checking on me.”

“Always.” He smiled then climbed back into the car. As he drove away Suzie was reminded of how sweet it was to have family. When she returned to the bed and breakfast Mary met her in the dining room.

“Was that Jason?”

“Yes, he came by to check in on us.”

“Aw, how sweet.”

“It was.” Suzie grinned. “Priscilla should be here in a few hours.”

“I checked in on Stewart, he’s doing well and is going on a boat tour later.”

“Oh good. He’s so quiet, one of the best guests we’ve ever had.”

“I think he just prefers to be left to his own devices, which certainly makes our job less stressful.”

“Yes, it does,” Suzie agreed. “I don’t think Priscilla Kane will be quite as easy.”

“Nor do I. Her reputation is not exactly known as being low maintenance.”

“Well, we’ll be ready for her.” Suzie walked towards the front desk. “As long as she has everything she needs then she should be just fine.”

Mary nodded in agreement. “I’ll take one more look in their rooms to make sure everything is just right.”

“Thanks Mary.”
