— NINE —

After work on Thursday, Travis took Katie to visit his family. At least once a week, Katie enjoyed getting together with the Davis family, usually on Thursdays.

Travis would come by the bakery a little after closing time, giving the girls time to clean up and prep for the next day. Then he would drive Katie, and more often than not his sister, home to spend the rest of the evening with his mother and little brothers.

Seven-year-old Bobby had claimed a special place in Katie's heart when she'd first met him almost two years ago.

After the bakery had been robbed, the last thing she had expected was to see a small child sitting on the front steps of a rundown house, eating a blueberry cupcake that had been stolen from the bakery. A cupcake she recognized because of the unique wrapper that her boss ordered for a special customer.

The Davis family had suffered a great loss with the death of the children's dad six months before. Then their mom had been sick for several months.

Fortunately, when Travis had returned home to care for his family, things had gotten better. It had also helped that the community had followed Amelia and Andrew O'Neal's example and taken the family under their collective wings.

First, Mrs. O'Neal had given him a part-time job at the bakery as their delivery person. Of course, she had been Mrs. Simpkins then. Katie could still remember the odd looks Travis had given Andrew O'Neal when he had come by with sandwiches and other food on his many visits to the family.

Travis was likely not the only Davis who had been thrilled to discover that the cafe owner had been much more interested in the bakery owner than in Mrs. Davis.

Travis had stayed busy doing odd jobs around the community between deliveries and it had not taken long at all for him to get to know quite a few people in the town. He had worked several times for the Yoders. Mr. O'Neal had also hired him part time making deliveries for his cafe, Irish Blessings.

When Mr. O'Neal followed Mrs. Simpkins to New York, his nephew Sean had been forced to take over running the cafe. . . and he had called on Travis for help. Upon his return, Andrew had been impressed with him and had asked him to take on more responsibility at the cafe, so Travis was working full time there now.

His sister Gwen had started working at the bakery part-time just before Thanksgiving and she was doing a great job. The customers liked her and she loved to learn about baking the breads, cookies, cakes, and other treats that the bakery sold.

Katie had thought that everyone was as fond of the Davis family as she was, at least until Anna's comments on Sunday.

Katie was always glad to see the improvements in Cissy Davis. It had taken her such a long time to recover from the loss of her husband, and then her serious bout with pneumonia, but she was doing fine now.
