“It really could have waited until tomorrow.” A tray of warm biscuits in one hand, Meg shoved the oven door shut with the other. “But I admit, it was a bit of a thrill to walk into the room a bit ago and see it all painted one beautiful color.”

As if agreeing, Fiona banged her hands on the tray and grinned.

“See. Even Fiona loves the color.”

“Personally,” Adam pulled several glasses out of the cupboard, “I think she’s just happy to get a biscuit.”

Meg shot her husband a tight-lipped glare not intended for the general public and Adam shrugged, smiled, and kissed her cheek as he walked past her, instantly melting the icy gaze.

“As I was saying,” Meg continued, “we all love it. Thank you.”

“On that I can definitely agree.” Adam set a glass in front of each cousin. “Thank you.”

“It really was our pleasure.” Neil bobbed his head and waved a thumb at his brother. “Though I guess mostly his and Ryan’s since they did most of the work.”

“You put in your share this morning.” Meg slid the butter tray in front of them. “Credit given where credit’s due.”

“Yes, Ma’am.” Neil didn’t dare argue.

“So,” Adam pulled a seat up next to the baby’s high chair, “do we know how much longer before Valerie can join us?”

“All she said when she walked out of the kitchen this afternoon was Don’t hold dinner.” Meg set the pot of beef stew in front of Morgan. “Do either of you have any idea what that’s all about?”

“Maybe,” Neil said.

“Or maybe not.” Morgan hadn’t quite figured out how they’d gotten roped into whatever it was they’d agreed to do.

“English please?” Adam blew on a piece of biscuit for his daughter.

“Funny,” Morgan put his napkin on his lap, “that’s what I was thinking the whole time Valerie was talking.”

“From what I can tell,” Neil reached for salt, “she needs to do something called a sizzle reel.”

“Unless it’s got something to do with steak, that could be alarming.” Adam cut up a piece of stew meat to set on Fiona’s plate.

Morgan reached for his fork. “It’s a short video. I think Valerie said about six minutes. It’s what’s used in the business to sell a television idea.”

“I thought that’s what pilots are for?” Meg pulled her seat in on the other side of her daughter.

“That comes after,” Morgan said.

“After the sizzle reel?” Meg looked his way.

“Exactly.” That part Morgan had followed fine. It was what came next that still had him scratching his head. “And we’re going to be the…uh…actors.”

“The what?” Adam almost dropped his fork.

“Not exactly actors,” Neil corrected. “From what Val explained, a sizzle reel can be thrown together with stock images and shorts to create a visual presentation. She feels that her idea will sell better if she can do live footage of the town.”

“So where do you two come in?” Meg handed Fiona her sippy cup.

“Like I said,” Morgan put his fork down, “acting. The whole premise is one of those reality renovation television shows.
