Mary Mabel tossed and turned all night. She’d known that Floyd played with truth. But did he really think her miracle was a fraud? What were his actual plans for Brother Percy and her? Speaking of Percy — should she be moved to pity, terror, or both? By morning Mary Mabel wasn’t fit for company. She stayed in her housecoat, huddled in a blanket with the drapes drawn. Floyd honoured her DO NOT DISTURB sign till ten. Then he knocked with a cheery, “Rise and shine.”

She opened the door a crack. “Mr. Cruickshank, I hate to be rude, but like the sign says, I don’t want to be disturbed.”

“We have an invitation for lunch. The Chamber of Commerce.”

“Send my regrets.”

“Can’t. They’re the sponsor. No sponsors, no cash flow.”

“Rumour has it I’m the cash flow.”

A careful pause. “I’m not sure what you overheard last night, but when Perce and I get to arguing, sometimes I say things I don’t mean to keep him in line.”

“Oh. And do you ever say things you don’t mean to keep me in line?”

His eyes flickered. “You owe me an apology.”

“And you owe me an answer.”

He leaned in. She could smell his breakfast. “I won’t be called to account in a public hallway. Lunch is at noon. I’ll pick you up at eleven-thirty.”
