Chapter 12

What are we going to do?” Lucia asked Trudie as they pushed their shopping cart through the handy little community grocery store located two blocks from Trudie’s doorstep. Just before they’d walked out the door, Delaney had called with the bad news she was resigning as Lucia’s house stager.

“I’m telling you, Luce, you’re worrying for nothing. Delaney is a Pisces. Nick is Scorpio. They’re one of the most compatible matches in the Zodiac. Trust me on this.”

“Not to offend you, Trudie, but I don’t have much faith in astrology.”

“That’s fine, but what about your faith in the whammy? You do believe in that, don’t you?”

“I don’t know what the problem is,” Lucia fretted. “Delaney said she didn’t have enough time to do the house justice with her impending wedding plans. She never said a word about Nick. But I know that’s the real issue. But what if she’s telling the truth and she’s simply overwhelmed?”

“She’s only overwhelmed because the whammy has her rattled and she doesn’t want to tell you she has the hots for your grandson, especially since she’s engaged to someone else. She doesn’t want you to think badly of her.”

“But how are she and Nicky ever going to get together if she’s not going to help me sell my house? And besides that, now who’s going to help me sell my house?” Lucia turned their cart down the cereal aisle. “I knew we should never have meddled.”

Trudie took a box of Lucky Charms off the shelf and tossed it in the cart. “It’s not meddling when it’s kismet.”

Lucia fished the box of sugary cereal out of the cart and handed it back to Trudie. “You’re as bad as Leo with the sweet tooth. Get the All-Bran.”

Grumbling under her breath, Trudie put the Lucky Charms back and replaced it with bran flakes. “Happy now?”

“No, not at all. I’m worried about Delaney and Nick. I’m worried about selling my house.”

Trudie waved a hand. “You worry too much.”

“You don’t worry at all.”

“And that’s what makes us such good friends. We balance each other out. Can I get some fruit roll-ups?”

Lucia sighed. “Go ahead.”

Trudie scampered to the fruit roll-ups and brought a box to the cart. “You want Delaney back as your house stager?”

“Of course I do. Didn’t I just say that? But how can we get her to come back?”

“We’re going to have to meddle. Oh, and you might have to tell a little white fib or two.”

Lucia desperately wanted to see her grandson happy. He deserved the same kind of happiness she’d known with Leo. She wasn’t so sure of Trudie’s interfering, but she didn’t know what else to do. If Delaney married the man she was engaged to, Lucia knew the young woman would live to regret it.

She’d been there herself. She understood the pressure to comply with her family’s wishes, especially if you were the kind of girl who took great care not to hurt people. If it hadn’t been for Leo boldly taking matters into
