Mac and Teri were sitting in front of the fire when we returned. “Shouldn’t you be in the kitchen?” I asked Teri. For a frightening moment, she really looked like our mother. “Just kidding,” I assured her. “Seriously, what time is dinner?”

“Well,” Teri started thoughtfully, “the cook will be here at three, the servants at five. We eat at seven thirty. Good Lord, what a production.” She looked up as Maggie and Charlie walked in behind me. “Hey, how’d it go?” she asked.

Mac noticed the bags Charlie carried. “Oh, took your sister shopping, eh?”

Charlie groaned in agreement and plopped down in a chair. “Good grief, you have a finely honed pecuniary skill, sis.”

Maggie laughed. “I picked up a few things in Donegal.” She handed a box to Mac and one to Teri. “A little something for the new landlords, as Kate says. Thanks for inviting us.”

She bought Teri a beautiful pair of earrings and a handsome Irish tweed tie for Mac. Teri gave her a big hug and Mac affectionately kissed Maggie on the cheek. “Thanks, kiddo,” he said with a wink.

Charlie groaned. “It took her an hour to pick out that tie, Mac. You better wear it to bed.”

Both Winfield siblings then excused themselves to call Hannah. “Give Hannah our love, will you?” I asked. “And then we can discuss what you found out, Charlie, before the guests arrive.”

I sat in the unbelievably comfortable chair and stretched out my legs. “I told Maggie last night…everything.” I laughed at the stunned looks of both faces.

“Everything, everything?” Teri asked slowly.

“The whole enchilada,” I replied.

“I’m glad you told her,” Mac said. “She’s a good woman, Kate.”

“Yes, she is and a good friend. I should have told her before.” I stood up and stretched. “Well, milord and milady, I shall ready myself for dinner,” I said and bowed dramatically. “But you’re still a landlord,” I called out as I headed for the stairs. A pillow caught me nicely in the back of the head.

I was filled with excitement as I showered, wondering what Charlie found out about The Omega Group. This could be a big break. The hot water beat on my neck and back. It ached terribly and I knew I’d be stiff. It dawned on me that my stiffness wasn’t followed by thoughts of Liz, as it usually was.

As I dried off, I looked at the scar and had a moment of shivering and a wave of anxiety. I closed my eyes and it passed—I still felt like throwing up. Well, if nothing else came from this trip, I was on my way to putting the whole ugly thing behind me. I had Maggie to thank for that.

I walked into my room drying my hair and noticed a box on my bed with a note that read—Open me.

I felt like a kid at Christmas as I opened it. It was a gorgeous hunter green Irish wool cardigan. There was a small card with it. I noticed it was Maggie’s handwriting.

This screamed, “Buy me for Kate!” Thanks for letting me in last night.
