“Are you coming?”

Elizabeth swallowed a mouthful of granola and looked at Blake. “It’s seven o’clock in the morning. Where do you want me to go?”

“To town.” He dangled a set of keys in the air. “The realtor dropped these off yesterday. They’re the keys to my house.”

“But you’re not moving in until next weekend.”

“Change of plans. We went unconditional yesterday. The store we visited yesterday is delivering most of my furniture at nine o’clock this morning.”

“Don’t tell me. You called them after the realtor dropped off the keys.”

Blake grabbed a slice of toast off a plate. “Exactly.” In two mouthfuls, it was gone. “What do you say?”

“You’d better hope there’s more of that bread in the refrigerator. Daniel’s been hiding it from me.”

Blake’s hand hovered over another slice. “You’re kidding?”

“Nope. He buys the bread from a specialty baker in town.” To add even more gravity to the situation, she said, “It’s Daniel’s favorite breakfast.”

Blake walked across to the refrigerator. “There has to be at least another slice or two left. What does the wrapper look like?”

“It comes in a light brown paper bag.”

“Like this one?” He reached across the counter and picked up a bag.

“That’s it.”

“It’s empty.”

“Oops.”

Blake pulled out his cell phone. “What’s the name of the bakery?”

“Why?”

“I’ll call them and get half a dozen loaves delivered.”

Elizabeth scooped more granola onto her spoon. “No one’s going to bring six loaves of bread to Emerald Lake. We’re forty minutes from town.”

“I’m a billionaire. Money talks.”

“Not in Bozeman. I doubt the bakery has someone who can drive out here. Besides, Daniel will be back in another ten minutes. He’s feeding the animals in the barn.”

Blake looked genuinely worried. “What do you suggest I do?”

“Grovel. If my brother values your friendship, he might forgive you.”

“Now I know you’re joking.”

Elizabeth sent Blake a sweet smile. “Would I lie to you?”

His eyes narrowed. “No, but you would omit crucial details if it meant you got your own way.”

She crunched another mouthful of granola.

The back door opened and Daniel walked into the kitchen. “Morning. Are you ready for the big move, Blake?”

Elizabeth swallowed what she was eating. “You knew Blake was leaving?”

“He told me last night.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” she asked Blake.

“I didn’t want you to lose sleep over me not being here.”

She would have believed him if she hadn’t seen the gleam in his eyes. It was just as well he was leaving.

Daniel looked at the plate of toast and frowned. “Have you been eating my toast again, Elizabeth?”

“Not me. It was Blake.”

Blake held his hands in front of him. “I didn’t realize it was the last of the toast. I’ll make it up to you by buying lunch.”

Daniel frowned. “What are you talking about?”

“There isn’t any bread left. Elizabeth said it’s your favorite loaf.”

Daniel opened the freezer and pulled out more bread. “Elizabeth knows I’ve got plenty in here.”

Blake stared straight at her. “I take back my offer. We wouldn’t last one week under the same roof.”

“I’m glad we got that sorted.” Elizabeth took a deep breath and focused on her brother.
