Gene was a trifle nervous as he watched through the window for the rental car to pull into the driveway. It wasn’t every day that someone from his hometown visited. In fact, he could probably count on one hand those who had and stayed at the bed-and-breakfast, and that didn’t include Walter and Talia Griffin. Till now.

He wished Sloane were there with him to greet them, but understood that she was busy working. At least she was willing to get together with them and show Talia around. Gene was glad they seemed to have gotten past a small bump in the road and were moving to a new level of dating. He had referred to Sloane for the first time as his girlfriend, a term that he hadn’t used since before his marriage. He liked the sound of that where it concerned Sloane and was sure she felt the same with him as her boyfriend. Where they went from there was anyone’s guess. The one thing Gene knew for sure was he wanted Sloane to be a part of his life, be it as a steady romantic mate and best friend or possibly more down the line.

Gene was all smiles when the red Nissan Sentra drove up to the bed-and-breakfast. He stepped outside to welcome his hometown guests.

“If it isn’t Mr. Bed-and-Breakfast himself,” said Walter Griffin, grinning. “What’s up, man?”

“Aloha,” Gene offered the taller, wider man, giving him a big hug. He stepped back and studied his friend. “Do I detect a little gray in that closely cropped black hair?”

Walter squared his shoulders. “Maybe just a little. What can I say? That’s what being a hotshot law professor does to you.”

Gene laughed, running a hand over his shaved head. “The same might be true for a bed-and-breakfast owner if he had any hair.” Smiling, he turned to Talia. She was small-boned and attractive with bold brown eyes, and her black hair was done up in a corkscrew-braid interlock. “Hey, Tal.”

She grinned broadly. “Aloha, Gene.”

“Aloha.” He gave her a hug. “Good to see you again.”

“You, too.”

“How was the flight?” Gene asked her.

“Bumpy at times, smooth at others, and very long,” she responded. “But the important thing is we made it here in one piece.”

“There you have it,” Gene agreed, and gave Walter a pat on the shoulder.

“Your house is huge,” Talia proclaimed. “The brochure and pics you sent don’t do it justice.”

Gene grinned. “Let’s go inside and I’ll show you around.”

“Sounds like a plan,” Walter said. “And I can’t wait to meet this lovely lady you’ve been going on about.”

“She feels the same way,” Gene said, knowing they would have to wait a little while longer to meet.
