There were, Kate thought, many reasons for her to feel unsettled, over and above the thefts here at work, which she still had no answer for.

Gram, first of all of course. That had been a scare she could have done without, and learning that they had known of this condition and not told her was even more upsetting. She simply had to find a way to improve her grandparents’ financial situation.

Maybe she should move back into her old room at the house. That would save her rent, which, while not huge, would make an immediate difference. She’d miss her little cottage, but nothing was worth the people she loved most doing without the medical care they needed.

Problem was, there was no way she was going to live under the same roof as Rand Singleton. The man was simply too cute, too sexy and too young. The sooner he moved on, the better off she would be. No matter that her grandparents thought he was wonderful, and that she was a fool for not pursuing his interest in her.

He is not, Kate insisted to herself, the reason she was so unsettled. At least, he wasn’t the only reason, she amended ruefully.

She let out a heavy sigh. How had the simple life she loved, the life she’d come back home to live, gotten so complicated?

She tried to snap out of it, tried to concentrate on her work. She made several calls, ordered the next quarter’s office supplies, requested a quote for having a gasoline tank installed for the delivery trucks and finished her monthly report to her boss. The last one made her wince when she had to include the data on the latest theft and admit they were no closer to solving the mystery of how it was being done than they’d been after the first incident.

When her phone rang, it was a relief.

“Distribution,” she said into the receiver.

“Kate? It’s Claudia. Got a minute?”

“For you? Sure,” she told their in-house personnel director.

“I wanted to let you know about this so you can pass it on to your people. We’ll be having the annual health fair next Saturday.”

“The health fair?” Kate asked, puzzled.

Every year each Redstone facility set up a day for employees to be tested for various things, or consult with a doctor about things that they had put off, or simply have a basic checkup. And if they then needed a referral to a specialist, that also was handled under the auspices of Redstone’s extended health care plan.

“Isn’t that normally supposed to be in the spring?” she asked.

“Normally, yes, but it’s been rescheduled this year. Actually, they’ve revamped a lot of things. Including eligibility. It’s open to family now.”

“Family?” Kate said, sitting up straighter.

“Yes, isn’t that wonderful? I’m bringing in my sister, since she’s too stubborn to make an actual doctor’s appointment for her arthritis.”

“Would that include grandparents?” Kate held her breath waiting for the answer.

“Of course. I thought of you and specifically asked.”

“Thank you, Claudia. Thank you so much.”

As she hung up, Kate was almost shaking with relief.
