Maggie held her head high and walked into Guest Services at the cottages. Her stomach twisted in knots, but she ignored it. She needed to find out if there were any rentals available and also if there were any job openings. Chances were low for both this time of year, but there was only one way to find out for sure.

Zoe glanced up from the reception desk and gave her a wide smile. “Hi, Maggie. What brings you in here?”

“Hi, Zoe. I have two quick questions.”

“Lay them on me.”

Maggie’s heart pounded. “Are there any cottages for rent?”

“Right now? Or later? I think we’re booked solid for a while.”

“Anything.”

Zoe turned to her computer and clicked on the keyboard. “Nothing until after Labor Day.”

Disappointment washed through Maggie, but she didn’t let her smile fade. “Thanks for checking. My other question is if there are any job openings.”

Surprise registered on her face. “Are you looking?”

“Keeping my options open.”

“Other than Jace wanting another assistant handyman—or woman—I don’t think so.” She typed at the computer again, then turned back to Maggie. “Do you want me to check with him, or maybe Dallas?”

“Um, sure. Thanks, Zoe. Can you call me on my cell phone? You don’t need to call me at my aunt’s house.”

“Sure thing.” Zoe slid her a piece of paper.

Maggie scrawled her number down. “Thanks again.”

“Sure thing. Anything else I can help with?”

“That’s all. Have a nice day.”

Zoe smiled and held up a plate of sticky buns. “Want one for the road?”

Maggie’s stomach rumbled. She’d skipped breakfast, wanting to avoid Aunt Lucille. She picked one up and her mouth watered. “Thanks!”

“No problem.” Zoe turned back to her computer.

Maggie hurried out of the building, her cheeks burning. She didn’t think that being an assistant handyman was beneath her, but it wasn’t what she’d pictured herself doing. She’d thought Zoe might need an assistant or perhaps take her place if she was going to be taking some time off.

It was also her fifth no for a place to live for the morning. If things didn’t improve, she would end up renting something outside Indigo Bay. That might be for the best, actually. None of her neighbors would care who she dated.

Maggie pulled out her phone and went to her note app. The next on her list was the Happy Paws Pet Shop. It wasn’t far away, between the cottages and city park beach.

Before she reached the door, Maggie could see Sterling Montgomery inside, painting a kitten on the store’s window.

“Hey there, Maggie,” he greeted her.

“Hi.” She gave a little wave.

“Can I help you with anything? We just got a litter of kittens in. They’re sweet little things.”

Maggie forced a grin. “Actually, I was wondering if you have any job openings.”

“I wish we had your old position to offer you, but one of the teens filled it for the summer.”

“That’s okay. Just thought I’d check.”

“Did I hear someone ask about a job?” Violet appeared, pulling her long hair into a ponytail. “Oh, hi, Maggie. Are you looking for work?”

Maggie nodded.
