Charlie woke the next morning to a loud knock on the front door. Waving her hand to make it go away, she turned and pulled a pillow over her head. It was Saturday. The day Penny took over the chores so she could sleep in, and she wasn’t ready to get up just yet.

The knock came again—more forceful this time.

Penny must be busy in the kitchen. “Alright, I’m up,” she yelled as she rolled off the bed. Grabbing her robe, she left her room.

The knock continued as she approached. She opened the door, stopping the man mid-knock.

“What are you doing here at”— she glanced over at the clock on the wall— “nine in the morning?” Was it really that late?

“I’m sorry to bother you, miss—”

“Charlie.”

“Charlie, but I have a delivery for you.”

She glanced behind him to the huge, white delivery truck in the driveway. “Delivery. What are you talking about? I haven’t ordered anything.”

The man had on a blue uniform and held a clipboard which he was riffling through. “It says here you ordered ten twin mattresses.”

Charlie’s stomach sank. She did what? “I’m sorry. There must have been a mistake. I didn’t order anything.” She couldn’t afford new mattresses right now.

The man glanced at her then back to his truck. “I’m not sure. I’m just the driver. They load up my truck, and I deliver them.”

“Take them back. I didn’t order them, and I certainly can’t pay for them.”

His shook his head. “I can’t. I have to deliver. If you have a problem, you’re going to have to call corporate.”

He waved his hand toward two other men who were milling around the back of the truck. At his signal, they pulled open the back and began pulling mattress out.

The sound of paper ripping brought Charlie’s focus back to the man. He handed her the slip and bounded down the steps.

This was the last thing she needed. What was she going to do with ten mattresses while she figured out who made this mistake?

“Sir, you can’t do this.” Charlie raced down the steps.

The man was directing the others to the front door.

“Hey!” She reached out and grabbed his arm. “I’m talking to you.”

He glanced down at her. “I know. I’m sorry, but this is my job. I can’t go back with these in my truck.”

She threw up her hands. “Well, what am I supposed to do with ten mattresses?”

He shrugged. “Use them?”

“Use them!” She sputtered as she clenched her fists.

“What’s going on?” Mitchell asked as he crossed the grass and approached her.

Charlie groaned. This was not what she needed. “It’s nothing.”

His gaze ran over her, and his annoyingly charming half-smile emerged. “Doesn’t look like nothing.”

“This man thinks I ordered ten mattresses and isn’t listening to me. I didn’t order them.” She turned and shouted to the men who seemed to have picked up speed. No doubt they wanted to finish and leave.

“Oh.”

Charlie whipped around. “What do you mean, oh?”

Mitchell gave her a sheepish smile. “I actually ordered them.”

Her cheeks heated as she stared at him.
