Chapter Seven

When Sabrina returned to the inn, Casey was in the kitchen covering a white cake with flaked coconut. “I thought you were making fudge.”

“And I thought you were going to get vegetables. I didn’t know you were spending the afternoon with Meredith.”

“I got caught in the storm – didn’t he tell you?”

“He didn’t say much at all except that you were with him and not to worry. Just what did you find to do? Or shouldn’t I ask?”

Sabrina laughed inwardly – they hadn’t done anything close to what she wanted. “He gave me a tour. He owns that Victorian house that is being renovated.”

“Does he? Well, that explains why he’s staying here. Where was Juliet?”

“She went to an art show. This bag is a mess. I’m going to have to put it outside on the porch to fully dry.” Sabrina pulled out the vegetables and the fruit. “They didn’t have any blueberries.”

Casey glanced at her. “I’m not worried about the blueberries.”

Sabrina didn’t wait to hear what Casey was worried about. She had the sinking feeling that her sister was beginning to put a few things together, and that was the last thing she needed.

Sabrina wandered onto the porch to lean against the railing. The inn was quiet at this time with all the guests in their rooms getting ready for the evening. The sound of a vehicle approaching brought her attention to the road. A gleaming black sports car turned into the parking lot. She watched as a man emerged from the car and strolled unhurriedly along the sidewalk. When David caught sight of her, he grinned.

“Hello,” he said as he drew level with her. “I was in the area again. I couldn’t resist coming by. I’ve missed you, Sabrina.”

Sabrina wondered what to say to this. She liked David, but she hadn’t missed him. “How long can you stay this time?” she asked as they walked into the inn.

“Just tonight, but I intend to make the most of it.”

She went behind the desk and opened the reservation book. “You’re lucky – we had a cancellation or else you’d be sleeping in your car.”

“A small inconvenience compared to the thrill of seeing you.”

Sabrina shook her head, a tiny seed of guilt beginning to take root in her mind. “You say the nicest things. I can’t think why you’re saying them to me.”

“Because I like you. I thought we already covered that last visit.”

She grinned. “Get your luggage, and meet me at Room 3.”

David had only been gone a few seconds when the door opened, and Meredith walked in.

“All recovered from this afternoon? No signs of pneumonia?”

“Of course not. Did Juliet enjoy her art show?”

“She had such a great time she’s convinced I must see it, too. We’re going back tomorrow.”

Sabrina laughed at the expression on his handsome face. “Relationships require sacrifice.”

“I don’t insist that she read my books so she shouldn’t drag me to art shows.”

“Doesn’t she want to read your books? I would think she’d be the first one to do so.
