Fiona had all six sample bottles on the kitchen table. They looked lovely lined up in a row with the sunlight behind them. Each label was meticulously written out with all the information on each. She rested her chin in her hands and thought about what these little bottles could mean for her and her dad...and possibly the business.

Her dad seemed excited earlier, but she didn’t trust that to last. Still, for a while, she felt closer to him than she had since she was little. It was evident that, at one time, making whisky was a real passion. She wished, now, she’d paid closer attention and had learned more about the operation. And what the hell was wrong with Murray? This disappearing act was getting old fast.

The living room clock chimed five and she needed to plan supper. At the same moment her phone rang.

“Hello?”

“Hi, Fiona. It’s Bryce Andrews. Is this a bad time?”

“Bryce?”

“Yes, I didn’t want to interrupt, but I wondered if you and your dad would like to join me for dinner tomorrow night?”

She sat back down. “That’s very nice, but why would you want us to come over?”

“I’ve thought a lot about your dilemma and what I would do in your place. Since you may feel like you don’t have enough information to make a decision, and right now you don’t exactly trust me…I wanted to provide some unbiased opinions.”

Fiona listened carefully. “It sounds logical, but why would you do that?”

“Because I still feel horrible about what Reggie did. It may not help, now, but I asked her to go back to the States.”

“Oh. How would you want to do this?”

“I would like you and your father to come over to the Highlander Inn tomorrow evening, bring the whisky samples…did you get them?”

Fiona laughed, surprised Bryce hadn’t asked sooner. “Yes, my dad and I got them all, and he seemed to really enjoy doing it.”

Bryce sighed audibly. “That’s great. I invited Tom Hobart, the general manager at the Speyburn Distillery, and his Master Distiller, Liam. My hope is that they can give you a fair evaluation of your product and your options.”

She never thought of having more than one option. “You know my dad is unpredictable. He may not be any help at all.”

“Or…he may enjoy the conversation immensely. Either way, you’ll have a nice meal and conversation. There’s no obligation.”

“That’s true. What time would you like us to come over?”

“I told Tom six, but why don’t you come at five thirty so your dad can get comfortable?”

“That’s very considerate. I’ll say yes, but things can change in a day.”

“And we can reschedule, if necessary.”
