CHAPTER 11

T rey

It’s close to midnight by the time Mandy drops me off at the B&B in Lynchburg. I know I should probably let her go back home and spend this time with her family, but they were all going to bed anyway. I reach over, placing my hand on her cheek and lean in giving her a warm, sensual kiss.

“You are making it pretty damn hard for me to go back home,” she murmurs as our lips part.

“That was my intent,” I whisper back, feeling a rush of hormones. I immediately take her lips in mine once again, kissing her even more fervently than the previous one.

“Okay, I’ll stay for a little while,” she relents, shutting off the car. “But only for a little while.”

“Only for a little while,” I agree, taking her by the hand and quietly opening the front door. We tiptoe past the registration desk and tread as lightly as possible on the creaky old staircase. We slowly navigate the rest of the noisy floorboards that make up the hallway and both give a sigh of relief when we finally reach the door to my room.

“I feel like a high school kid.” Mandy giggles before creeping inside the room and turning on the overhead light.

“Yeah, this whole day has been a little weird,” I admit.

“Weird? Weird in a bad way?” she asks, turning back toward me.

“No, weird in a good way,” I laugh. “I don’t know, everything is just so different from everything I’ve ever known. I’ve definitely never stayed in a place where I had to sneak in at midnight,” I tell her with a laugh.

On cue, there is a knock on the door, so I crack it open just slightly. “I just wanted to let you know that we will be serving breakfast at eight thirty,” Peggy says, pushing the door open wide enough to get a good look inside. “Oh, hello,” she says to Mandy. “I thought I heard voices in the hallway. At least now I know I’m not going completely crazy.” She comes into the room and looks directly at Mandy. “I knew you looked familiar, I didn’t put two and two together until I saw your mother’s car. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing.”

“Thank you, Peggy,” Mandy says, accepting a hug from her.

“I’ve known her since she was a little girl. How is your dad doing?” she asks after pulling back a bit.

“He’s doing pretty well. She’s been sick for a long time, so they had both accepted the inevitable,” she says with sadness once again dominating her features.

“Well, you tell him hello from me. I hear you are having a private service for her?”

“Yeah, Mom didn’t want a fuss. You know her.” Mandy sighs.

“Well, I have a fresh peach pie for you to take with you when you leave,” she says. “It was your mother’s favorite.”

“Yes, it definitely was her favorite.” Mandy tears up again. “Thank you Peggy.”

“My pleasure. Now you two have a good night,” she says with a rather judgmental look on her face.
