CHAPTER EIGHT

THE FOLLOWING MORNING, Lori was in the bathroom, sipping coffee and getting ready for the day, when her phone rang. Crossing her bedroom, she answered it. “Lori Porter.”

“Lori?”

“Grandma?”

“Listen to me, darling. I’ve been thinking about that man you said you’ve been seeing. The banker.”

Lori smiled. “I’ll just bet you have.”

“My instincts tell me you’ve finally found the right one.”

Lori’s smile broadened. “Oh, Grandma, you know nothing about him. Your instincts tell you I’ve found a banker.”

“You said you like him.”

“Yes, he’s very nice. You’d like him too.”

Anna uttered a gasp. “Will you bring him to meet me?”

“Well…maybe one of these days. We’ll just have to see how things go between us.”

“You’re seeing him again soon, I hope.”

“Yes, as a matter of fact, I’m meeting him this afternoon.”

“What are the two of you going to do?”

“I’m not sure. He asked me to meet him this afternoon and we’d decide what we wanted to do.”

“Oh, that’s wonderful! You know, darling…I’ve been thinking that I really should have my mink coat altered to fit you. I mean, you’re going out with a banker now, so you should dress the part.”

Oh, Lord! Anna had been dangling that coat in front of the females in the family for years, and it had never gotten through to her that no one wanted the thing. But since the mink was one of Anna’s proudest possessions, a great deal of tact had to be employed when refusing it. “A mink coat would be totally inappropriate in Crystal Creek, Grandma. It’s just not a mink coat type of place. Besides, what if Cody turned out to be an animal rights activist or something?”

“Mmm, I hadn’t thought of that. Well, I’ll let you get ready for your date with your young man. And listen to me, Lori—don’t do anything to discourage him.”

“I won’t. Promise.”

“Goodbye, darling.”

Chuckling, Lori returned to the bathroom to finish dressing.
