Chapter 17
“Come on in, Kate.” Carolyn met Kate at the door of her cozy bungalow. The wooden porch squeaked under Kate’s sandals, and crickets sang in the hydrangea bushes below the open railing.
“Love your house, especially this porch,” she told Carolyn as they stood in the open doorway, summer soft in the air. “Takes so long for a clematis to get that big.” Supported on thick, knotty vines, deep purple blossoms arched over the porch. “What a great place to curl up with a book.”
“I often do.” Carolyn’s quiet smile lit up her blue eyes. “Thought we might sit out here but the mosquitoes can be vicious.”
Kate slapped at one buzzing in her hair.
“I’m going to spray in case we want to come out later.” Carolyn grabbed an aerosol can from a side table.
Kate scurried inside, where wicker chairs flanked a worn brown leather sofa and earth tone cushions were heaped on the floor. A round coffee table held a cheese tray and a plate of cookies.
“Oh, wow.” Kate sank onto the soft leather couch and looked around. From the brick fireplace to the braided rugs on the floor, the house felt homey. “Talk about comfortable.”
Carolyn made a face. “I’m probably only about three blocks from the wrecking ball.”
A chill skittered down Kate’s spine. Never going to happen to Breezy Point. Not if she could help it.
Phoebe and Chili arrived, bringing Mandy Klavis with them. A pretty blonde, Mandy had been in their class, but Kate hadn’t known her well. But she sure knew the Klavis family bakery, know for their onion rolls and raspberry kolaches.
“You’re the girl who dated that hot quarterback, right?” Kate asked.
A quick blush accented Mandy’s high cheekbones. “Yes.”
“Kevin Corbin? Could we give the guy a name?” Sarah chortled. “Mandy came back last summer, and she’s still dating Kevin. In fact, he does some work for Cole.”
Cole. Her face felt plunged into an oven. Grabbing a Dolly Madison bar from the plate, Kate took a hearty bite. Never one to resist chocolate chips and coconut, she’d diet tomorrow.
“And how is your flower store coming?” Sarah asked over a cup of hazelnut decaf.
Kate swallowed her mouthful and laughed. “More three eight-foot tables than a store.”
Chili shushed her, waving her mug of tea. “Kate’s doing great. Aren’t we loco busy?”
“Busier than I ever expected,” Kate admitted. “Had to close up shop early yesterday. Stock ran out again. I’m looking for another supplier for shrubbery.”
“You go, girl!” Phoebe pumped a fist.
Chili's dark eyes snapped. “The flowers catch people's attention, closer to the road.”
Kate wanted to hug her old friend. “What would I do without you and Ignacio?”
“And Cole.” Chili’s eyes sparked with mischief.
Opening her mouth to reply, Kate took another bite instead. Best to fill her mouth with chocolate than get into a tussle with Chili about Cole. Cleary Chili and Ignacio adored their contractor.
A knock came at the door. Kate was relieved when the attention shifted to Diana, swirling into the room in a long blue gypsy skirt. The scent of patchouli settled over the room.
