The grocery store didn’t only have groceries, but a range of other articles. This was where the folks of Solvik did their daily shopping. Bettina fetched a shopping cart and started filling it with cherry tomatoes and cucumber from the vegetable section.

“What are you having for dinner today?”

She startled and turned around. “Erik, you scared me. Thanks for the nice evening we had.”

“Are you flirting with him?” Veronica asked and fluttered her long eyelashes. Bettina was horrified. She recognized the woman from the knitting café. Neither Sara nor Emmelin had been fond of her, and they allegedly had good reasons. It was the same woman who had hurt her ankle at the opening of the guesthouse, and who had caused so much drama afterward.

“Excuse me?”

“Well, I thought you were engaged. Which means you should have other things to do than stand in a public place, giggling with the doctor.” Veronica turned to Erik and pushed her chest out even more. Her bosom was impressive. Her tiny waist made her look like Barbie, and she knew how to make the most of it. She tossed her blonde, waist-long curls, and smiled sweetly. “I feel like I need another appointment with you, Erik. See you.” Then she wriggled off on her sky-high heels, knowing for certain they were both watching her walk away.

“What a cheek,” Bettina said and shook her head.

Erik smiled and drew her closer. He lifted her dark hair. “Don’t mind Veronica,” he whispered. “She’s infamous in town. I don’t know anyone that likes her.”

She could feel his closeness, and her pulse started beating faster. His spicy aftershave tickled her nose and made her thoughts run wild.

“What are you doing here?” It was obvious what he was up to in a grocery store, so it was a silly question. But she needed to divert her focus.

“My fridge is empty. I’ll drop by on Monday to check on Mathilde.”

She suspected that it wasn’t just Mathilde he was coming for. “Preben’s parents are leaving tomorrow so it will be calmer. Christel will also be leaving sometime next week. I may persuade my aunt to get out of bed then. It’s about time.”

“Good idea. We’ll continue to encourage her.” His eyes went to the brown wooden clock on the wall. “I have to get going. The kayak is waiting.”
