As the long hours of cooking wound to a close, a disheveled but satisfied Finn Bell finally emerged from the kitchen. He looked over the room and was pleased to see the last few diners enjoying their meals and the restaurant in perfect order.

“Everything went really well,” Olivia said.

“Yes,” Finn said. “It seems all right. Long way to go, though.”

He looked at his watch and said, “You’ve been here for hours.”

“Hope that’s all right?”

“Of course. Can I buy you a drink?”

“Yes, I was hoping you would.”

“How about some champagne?”

Olivia nodded and overhearing his boss, the bartender saw to their request.

As they sipped their drinks, Olivia asked, “How often will you be here?”

“It’s not firm yet, but I plan to be here every few months. I’m sending my best manager over from London to manage the place. I tried someone local, but …”

“Not working out.”

“No. I’ll keep him on, he’s a decent lad, but these restaurants are my children. I want to give them the best.”

“No human children, then?”

“No,” Finn answered with a small smile.

It was a somewhat touchy subject for him. He knew that that wasn’t in the cards for him, and while he’d adjusted to it, it did make him sad.

She was not clairvoyant, but she got the message that he wasn’t into her. Olivia was disappointed, but she liked him, so she said, “Here’s my card. Call me if you want to get together.”

“I’d like that,” Finn said.

Olivia left feeling torn. She had no desire to do Finn any harm, in fact, quite the opposite, but by virtue of their families, they were now at odds.

Finn was not clairvoyant, either, but he’d just sensed something off with Olivia, and he was concerned.
