Chapter Eleven – Cath
“How was your evening, Mom?” Liam asked when she walked into the store the next morning.
“It was good, thanks. Very good.” She skirted around him and headed upstairs. “Coffee?”
“Yes, please,” Liam called after her.
She came down ten minutes later in fresh clothes and with two cups of coffee. This was the quiet time, when it was just the two of them. Leona took her children to school before arriving nearer ten o’clock. Liam had employed her with the understanding she could work her hours around her commitments to her children. At the time, Leona probably didn’t realize it was because Liam had grown up with first-hand knowledge of how difficult it was being a single parent who had to work.
“Town looked busy yesterday,” Catherine said, sipping her coffee. “Were you busy?”
“Yes, one of the best days since I took over. My eagle egg escapade had unexpected rewards. I’ve even had people asking for guided tours over the mountains.” He leaned on the counter as he drank his coffee. “I could find work for you in here during the summer if you want something to keep yourself busy. Unless you plan to spend the whole summer with your new man.”
Catherine put her hand on Liam’s back and rubbed him affectionately. “Thanks, Liam, but I’m meeting Sandra in an hour. We’re going over to this project that Will Frasier runs. We want to know if there is a way we can help.” She smiled. “Unless you really want me here under your feet?”
“I want you to be happy, Mom. That’s all.” Liam glanced at her sideways. “And you certainly look happy.”
“I am.” She brushed her hand over her eyes. “Julius is the best thing that’s ever happened to me aside from you and Mike. I just hope I make him happy.”
“Why wouldn’t you?” Liam asked, his loyalty causing his temper to rise.
“I have so much baggage.” She took a deep breath, needing to share her fears. “Your father leaving, and Mike. I wonder if I’m cursed.”
Liam put his coffee mug down on the countertop. “They both made their own decisions. Now you get to make yours. You deserve to be happy,” Liam assured her, putting his arm around her.
“But marriage?” She grimaced.
“Tell me about it! If I hear another word about caterers.” Liam chuckled. “I just want Beverly to be happy. She just wants me to be as excited as she is. And I’m trying!”
“Speaking of weddings, how are your vows coming along? I was supposed to help you last night. Sorry I ran out on you.” She nursed her coffee cup as Liam pulled out a piece of paper.
“I decided to keep it brief.”
“Brief?” She took the piece of paper from him and skimmed over it. “Liam, that’s beautiful.”
“You don’t think it’s too much?” Liam asked. “I want Beverly to know how much she means to me.”
“She’ll know.” Catherine wiped a stray tear from her eye. “You are so lucky to have found each other.”
“So are you and Julius.
