Conner showed up right on time the next morning to Elizabeth’s relief. She had actually been worried about him the night before when he had had to leave so abruptly. Her mind had conjured all sorts of catastrophes that had Conner being injured or even killed. It was a silly reaction. She knew logically he would probably be fine, but all of her responses to this man seemed to border on the illogical. As soon as he got out of his truck, she’d let her eyes move over him to assure herself he was well, but she still asked. “Everything okay, then? Last night?”

Conner had smiled, hooked an arm around her waist to pull her close, and kissed the tip of her nose which had Jeremy grinning like the Cheshire Cat. “Just a difference of opinion that got out of hand.” Then he turned to Jeremy. “You ready to check out my favorite fishing hole?”

“Yes!”

Elizabeth chuckled at Jeremy’s enthusiasm. “You two have fun,” she said, “I should only be an hour or two.”

Conner dropped a kiss on the top of her head and released her. Even now, driving through the town of Rochester on the way to the meeting, she could still feel the imprint of his lips on her. She was also smiling – she felt happy and excited at the same time – and it was all because of Conner Pierce. Who would have thought?

Pulling into what had probably once been a large farm, Elizabeth spotted Walter and his wife Gladys standing near their car. Walter, who reminded Elizabeth of Steve Jobs in appearance, was making wide arcing motions with his arms as he spoke to Gladys, probably explaining his master plan, Elizabeth thought with a chuckle.

Gladys spotted her car first and waved. The woman was tiny at five foot nothing, but she had a big personality and an even bigger heart. As soon as Elizabeth parked, Walter was opening her door for her. “Perfect timing.” He said with an excited smile. “Let’s go in and have a look around.”

Once inside, Elizabeth saw that the large farmhouse had been gutted and was under heavy construction. Sheet rock lined the walls, the bare floors under her feet dusted with white powder, and heavy sheets of plastic hung from the ceiling to section off certain areas. Scaffolding was set up in several places and buckets, ladders, and tools were spread about.

Walter stopped in the middle, put his hands on his hips and glanced around him with a look of pride. His eyes went to her and narrowed in speculation. “So what have you heard?”

Elizabeth knew exactly what Walt was asking. While it was always prudent to wait for an official memo, the grapevine at the corporate office had always been prolific. Currently, it was rampant with speculation that Walter had a new project in the works. It didn’t take a genius to figure out she was currently standing in the middle of that project – she just didn’t know exactly what that project entailed.
