Chapter Six

We glided to the car and once I was behind the wheel I said, “That has to be the handsomest man I’ve ever seen. If he was an actor, he’d have women swooning for sure.”

“I couldn’t help but notice that you were tongue-tied for a moment.”

“Sorry, but he had the most impressive blue eyes I have ever looked in. I guess it proves on thing—I’m not dead yet.”

“Would you listen to you? I think we’ve done a role reversal. I’m the one who is supposed to be all gaga over men, at least until I married my Wilson. Not to say I don’t still appreciate a good-looking man.” She chuckled. “But you, Agnes, have always been the practical one. Why you never even gave a passing look to any man until your old boss Andrew showed up in town. And now here you are, married to the man of your dreams.”

“I hardly think of it that way. I just feel blessed that Andrew was no longer married and we had the chance to really get to know one another after all those years.”

“It’s just good to see you have a little life still in you.”

I wasn’t sure I cared for the way she said that. “I hope I have life left in me for quite some time.”

“That makes double for me.”

Before I had the chance to back out of the driveway, my phone rang. I picked up my phone and was shocked to hear my son Stuart, who works for the FBI alongside his wife Moraine. “Hello, son, this is a surprise.”

“I hope you didn’t think I wasn’t coming up for the holidays. Moraine and I will be jetting in to the Tawas airport later today. We sure could use a ride into town. We already arranged to stay at the Tawas Beach Resort.”

I put a finger up halting Eleanor who was mouthing, “Who is it?”

“Are you planning to come to Thanksgiving dinner?”

“I’d love to if you’re not overbooked with the friends you have.”

“Actually Martha will be going to Sophia’s and I don’t want to intrude even if I was invited. I understand Bill’s family will be there.”

Stuart laughed. “I can’t see that putting you off. Aren’t you a little curious what they are like?”

“I can’t imagine we’ll mix well. Bill is such a straight-laced trooper that I imagine his family is the same way.”

“Sure he is, but I really think he’s a great guy.”

“I know, but anyway I’m cooking for Andrew, Eleanor, and Mr. Wilson. I’m also trying to talk Bernice into joining us.”

“I expected as much. Well, sign us up for dinner, but I fully expect you to come with me to Sophia’s house to at least meet Bill’s family.”

“Oh, I don’t know, son. What if they don’t like me?”

“That’s never bothered you before. Look, I need to get off the phone now; Moraine needs help with her crossword puzzle.”

I ended the call and told Eleanor, “It was Stuart. He’s coming to Thanksgiving dinner with his wife.”

“That
