Chapter 9

After watching the sunrise, Morgan tackled the list that Ford had given her the week before.

Some of the little things, like file papers and check social media accounts, responding to any comments or complaints, were easy to do. Some, like trying to coordinate a time for all seven of Ford’s potential buyers to meet together with him, were a lot more difficult.

Mrs. T came up with a tray at ten, just after Morgan had given her name and number to the third secretary for a callback.

Morgan sniffed the air. “Is that a chocolate caramel cappuccino?”

Mrs. T’s wrinkled face roped into a broad smile. “It is. And that’s a slice of cinnamon coffeecake beside it.”

The combination might be odd to others, but it was one that she adored. She never had it because of the calorie content.

“How did you know?”

“Ford said it was your favorite.”

“How did he know?” Maybe she should be concerned she had a stalker, but she was more awed that he’d cared to find out about her.

She snapped her fingers. “I bet he checked out my social media. I’m pretty sure I have a few pictures pinned.”

“He didn’t tell me.” Mrs. T adjusted the tray. “Just gave me directions on what to have.”

“Then you had to make a trip to town pretty early this morning.”

“Nope. There’s a delivery service. It isn’t cheap, but they do a great business bringing things out to folks who live way out like we do.” Mrs. T’s face was still beaming.

Morgan picked her cup up and took a small sip, figuring that Mrs. T wouldn’t care that she wasn’t drinking it properly. “Thank you so much. This is amazing!”

“You’re welcome, honey. Just let me know if you need anything else.”

“I will. Thanks.”

Morgan picked up her fork with a grin. She’d be sure to thank Ford tonight when they looked at the stars together.

But Ford didn’t send her a text about meeting Monday night. When Morgan couldn’t stand the suspense any longer, she went into the solarium on her own, carrying Lolli.

Ford wasn’t there, but an additional recliner had been added beside the first. That must have been his surprise. The sight warmed her heart. He must have gotten busy, because obviously he planned to sit with her and look at the night sky at some point. Otherwise, what was the point behind the second recliner?

He hadn’t told her she could go up to the observation deck without him, but after standing in the solarium wondering what to do for a good ten minutes, she put Lolli down in one of the recliners and walked boldly out and up to the forbidden wing. Opening the door to the stairs, which wasn’t locked, she climbed them eagerly.

But when she stepped out on the deck, he wasn’t there.

She considered texting him but didn’t want to bother him if he were working, so she went back to Lolli and sat in the recliner, looking up at the stars and thinking about how considerate it was of Ford to add a second seat.
