Chapter Twelve

After two meetings and a student interview, Liam finally managed to call Dalton. “Hey, man. I only have a few moments. Can you do me a favor? Can you run by Historic Hall and let me know if the building can be restored?”

“That old building? Ah, this is about Anna Baker, isn’t it?” Dalton asked.

“Yes, but don’t say anything to her yet. She's still on the fence about what to do, and I just want to give her all the facts first.”

Dalton laughed. “You’ve got it bad, man. You mean you want to paint a perfect picture of what can be here for her in this town. No worries. I’ll take a look, but I’m not making any promises. That entire street’s been abandoned for years.”

Liam sat at his desk and rubbed his forehead. “I know. That’s why I want the best on this.”

“You got it, man. I’m actually headed into town soon, so I’ll swing by to take a look.”

“Great. I can’t get away at the moment since I’m covering for Mitchem and Cynthia right now, but the key's under the brick next to the front door.”

“Gotcha. Catch ya later.” Dalton hung up and Liam hoped his buddy would have some good news for him soon. Hoped Anna could see the possibilities.

His phone buzzed with a reminder of his next appointment. This was going to be a long day. He made his way to the president’s conference room to sit in on the university planning meeting for Mitchem. Liam never liked these kind of meetings, but Mitchem liked them even less, so he could fill in for once.

He passed by Rachel Vine on the way, who shot him a sideways glance. It bothered him that she was still unhappy with him. He never meant to hurt her. “Rachel, would you like to join me in the university planning meeting? I’m on my way there now. And since you work in the health science’s department, you’re a better person for the job than I am. I won’t be able to stay for the entire meeting, so you’d be helping me out. I’ll introduce you to the president while we’re there.”

Her face lit up like downtown Riverbend on New Year’s Eve.

“Of course, I’m happy to help.” She about-faced and snagged his arm. “I’ll walk with you.”

Relieved her mood had brightened so easily, Liam still knew he had to make things plain. Rachel wasn’t a bad person. She liked him. Of course, she’d liked Mitchem until Cynthia won him over. Deep down, Liam knew she cared more about her job than either of them. “I appreciate it. I need to get through my own work, so I can meet with Anna this evening. We have some wedding stuff to take care of for Mitchem and Cynthia since Andrew is still healing.”

Her hand slipped from his arm and she straightened her skirt as they boarded the elevator. “I see. Well, again, I’m happy to help.”

“Great.”

“Can I ask you something, though?” Rachel asked, turning to face him.
