Katy looked out over the water and wrapped her arms around herself to protect from the chill. It was barely past seven in the morning, and the light spring chill was bordering on just plain cold.

But she didn’t mind the discomfort. Right now, she could use any distraction from the stress of the past day. Because once she walked inside that inn, she’d have to put on her responsible face. When her employees asked whether everything was going to be okay, she was going to smile and say “of course.” And when Nathan came into her office and tried to act as though nothing had happened, she was going to have to keep her cool and act like the professional she was.

“Hey there, Katy!”

She turned around to see Levi at the top of the drop-off. She forced a smile and waved back at him. He was dressed in his running gear and must’ve been taking his jog early today. “Morning!” she called back. “Busy day?”

Instead of giving her a quick answer and continuing his run, he walked down the steep clearing between the rocks so he could stand on the beach next to her.

Katy wanted to be annoyed, but she didn’t mind his company at the moment. Levi could be brash and annoying, but at least she knew what she was getting with him.

“Very busy.” He tried to catch his balance as the rocks shifted. “I have a client coming into town today and they want to go over the Vanguard accounts and then discuss the possibility of opening an IRA instead of the account I set them up in.”

Sometimes she wondered whether Levi didn’t know that people didn’t want that much detail or whether he thought people would think he was smarter. “That all sounds fascinating,” she said dryly. “I have a rough day ahead of me too. We’re lucky to be so close to the water. It gives me strength on days like this.”

“You have a busy day too then?”

She figured the cat was going to be out of the bag soon enough. “The inn was sold this weekend. The new owner is here and I have no idea what to expect.”

“What?” Levi seemed shocked and Katy didn’t blame him. He lived right next door to the inn, so what happened at Seal Cove Inn affected him.

“You heard me. It all happened so suddenly. Burkhart told me on Saturday and the deal was finalized on Sunday. You’re not supposed to do business on Sundays. It’s the rule.”

“You’d be surprised what can get done on a Sunday,” said Levi. “I should stop by to meet this new owner.”

Thinking back to how much Nathan seemed turned off by Levi, Katy knew that wasn’t a good idea. “I’m sure he’s going to be very busy today. Later in the week would be best.”

“What about you? Would you like to have lunch today?”

Katy chuckled. “I thought you were busy today. Meeting with a client.”

“Yes, but I can always make time for you.”

“You have an important client to meet with.
