“We like to think that tomorrow is promised, but it’s not. Live each day like it’s your last. Don’t have regrets. Don’t leave anything unspoken.”

Pearl Lucas

Chapter Seven

The early morning sun slanted through the kitchen windows, providing a cheery glow to Morgan’s kitchen at Savannah House. She loved how the rays of the sun brightened up the room so beautifully. Morgan didn’t consider herself a morning person, although she’d long ago accepted the fact that chefs had to be early risers. After all, breakfast was the most important meal of the day.

“Tell us again about the theater marquee,” Charlotte pleaded. Charlotte, Hope and Olivia had planted themselves in the kitchen in order to grill her about her date night with Luke. Although she’d told them all the major details, her friends kept insisting on hearing her go over the details again and again.

Morgan groaned. She was in the midst of preparing a gigantic fruit bowl that would be placed on the buffet table in the dining room. She wiped her hands with a towel and placed the fruit bowl on the island in the middle of the room. “Again? I can’t believe you guys aren’t sick of hearing this over and over.”

“Because it’s all so terribly romantic,” Hope said in a dreamy voice. “It gives me hope that something special is waiting around the corner for me.”

“I’m sure it is,” Morgan said, giving Hope a quick hug. She turned back toward the platter of scones and muffins she’d baked early this morning. Her sous-chef Henry was at the stove, putting the finishing touches on pancakes and sausage. Morgan had been tip toeing around him all morning long. With his spiky brown hair and dark, over-sized glasses, he looked like an edgy college student rather than a culinary artist.

The sound of him slamming his spatula down on the stove rang out in the kitchen.

“What’s with him?” Olivia whispered. “He seems to be in a foul mood.”

“His girlfriend broke up with him,” Morgan explained in a low voice. “He was really in love with her. She said she didn’t see a future with him.”

“Maybe he should have told her that after she gave him food poisoning with those pork chops,” Charlotte teased.

Olivia and Hope laughed at Charlotte’s comment.

“Shh,” Morgan warned, darting a glance in Henry’s direction. He was in such a funk. It seemed that he was in his own little world at the moment. “If he hears you he might just lose it. He’s really on the edge and I need his help. He’s pretty invaluable.”

“I’m going to head back to the front desk,” Olivia said. “Fancy might need some help. We have a few guests checking out after breakfast and some more guests arriving this afternoon.”

“I might as well scoot too. I’ve got to plan something elaborate for the gardens. Something festive for December,” Hope said. “And I’ve got Ella here with me today. She’s sleeping upstairs at the moment, but I have my trusty monitor here in case she wakes up and cries out for me.
