Chapter Six

Cindy shut off the alarm on her phone at five the following morning, already exhausted. She hated mornings. It was the worst part of running a B&B. She stumbled into the bathroom to take care of business before heading to the kitchen. Her coffee pot was on a timer, and she poured her first cup of coffee, sitting at the table in silence drinking it down before getting up to pour another cup and start breakfast preparations.

She filled her second cup of coffee and took one more sip before she started to mix up the batter for muffins. She had a muffin day every Tuesday and would offer at least three different kinds of muffins. She always made a few extras because people from town invariably would come by on Tuesday to buy a few. She didn't know why they were so popular, but they were.

She had just put the six dozen muffins into the oven when she felt a hand on her bottom, and she jerked with surprise. "Trey! Don't do that while I'm putting stuff in a hot oven. I could burn myself!"

Trey sighed, and reached over, picking up her coffee cup and taking a sip.

Cindy saw red. Coffee was the one thing in her world she was never willing to share, and that was her favorite mug. She took the cup from him and calmly put it on the counter on the other side of her and poured him his own cup, trying her best not to say something she shouldn't.

Trey raised an eyebrow. "I take it I'm not allowed to drink from your coffee mug?"

Cindy sighed. "The one thing in the world I'm not willing to share is my coffee. So keep your grubby mitts off it."

He stared at her for a moment, his lips quirking into a grin. "I take it you don't do mornings."

She shook her head. "Mornings are for birds." She took another sip of her coffee. She had stayed awake half the night thinking and knew they needed to have a serious talk, but she would wait until after dinner. He wasn't going to like what she had to say.

"I'm not particularly fond of them either. Maybe if they started at noon."

She just looked at him, waiting to see if he'd laugh at his own joke.

He took the hint and slowly backed away. "I'm just going to go shave and get ready for my day," he said. "Can I come back for breakfast in twenty minutes?"

Cindy nodded once. She knew she wasn't being pleasant, but mornings were so hard for her. And he drank her coffee!

By the time he came back and sat at the table for breakfast, she had another couple of cups of caffeine in her system and felt slightly more human. "It's really best not to talk to me 'til I've had my first pot of coffee. Or two." She gave him a weak smile.

He laughed. "I'll remember that in the future." Looking between the three different muffins on the table, he asked, "Is it muffin day or something?"

Cindy nodded.
