Chapter Eight
âSo?â Bethany said as soon as Grace answered the phone.
âHello to you, too,â Grace replied, shaking out her jacket from the rain.
âOkay. Hello, Grace. Did you have a good day? Is your mom back from visiting your grandparents? Howâs your Dad? Oh, and how did it go with Mr. Tall, Dark and Oh, So Handsome?â
Grace laughed. âI had the usual good day, thank you. Mom got back last night and Dad, as always, was delighted to have her home. Letâs see, what was your other question?â
Bethany let out a strangled cry of frustration. âYou are driving me nuts, girl. You know very well why I called, why Iâve been calling for the last two hours. I tried your cell, the office and your house. Nothing. Where were you anyway?â
âWe had coffee. Then it started to rain and so we decided to get a sandwich and wait it out.â
Bethany sighed. âThat is so romantic.â
âAnd you are so easily impressed,â Grace replied. âI often think that you should do the matchmaking for the program and I should just handle the paperwork.â
âIf I can match you with him, Iâm more than happy to quit while Iâm ahead. Have you seen the way he looks at you? Have you seen the way you look at him?â
âHe looks at me the same way he looks at any subject for an article. Donât mistake salivating over a story that includes Senator Harrisonâs reclusive daughter with anything close to interest on a romantic level, Bethany.â
âThat shows what you know. The man is definitely interested in you. Heâs just not sure why. Itâs really hard for a guy to understand why heâs attracted when you seem determined to mask any sign that youâre a beautiful woman. The poor guyâs confused.â
Grace paused in the action of emptying the dishwasher. âThere is nothing wrong with the way I dress,â she said firmly. âJust because I buy good quality traditional pieces that last beyond one seasonâ¦â
There was another pause before Bethany said, âCan we all say together, âBor-r-ring!â Frankly, and I say this with only your best interests at heart, you have no fashion sense.â
âBetween you and Mom always on me, itâs like the two of you think I dress like a street person,â she said, appalled at how upset she was getting over this old debate.
âHey, itâs not like that. A little color is all weâre saying. Could it be that youâre getting so upset because something has come into your life to make you think there may be something to thisâor should I say someone has come into your life?â
Now it was Graceâs turn to issue an exasperated sigh. âI give up. Thankfully Jud needs to file his article by the end of next week so we can all get back to our normal lives.â
âOh, you naive child,â Bethany said, clucking her tongue as if she were Graceâs disapproving teacher. âSo, you had dinner. Whatâd you talk about?â
âWe had sandwiches,â Grace corrected. âWe talked about the article.â
