As she made her way along the dusty driveway, Lucy realized how gorgeous the bed and breakfast was. When she considered taking a photograph of it, she remembered Jenson received a call. If his phone had service, maybe hers did too. She pulled her phone out of her bag and saw she had three voice messages. Two were from Matthew. She played the first one.

Hey, I need to talk to you. Call me as soon as you can?”

She played the second message.

“Lucy, I really have to talk to you. Call me when you get this.”

What could he have to talk to her about? She played the third message.

“Hey, Luce. Are you and my brother killing one another yet? This trip is taking forever, and I’m not even in the car. Call me when you get a chance.” Megan’s voice was full of excitement as she told Lucy she loved her.

Returning the calls, she dialed Matthew’s number first. It went straight to his voicemail. This time, she left a message.

“Hi. You’re probably busy with work, but I wanted to call while I had reception. We ran into some car trouble, and unfortunately, it looks as if we’ll be delayed by a day. Call me when you can.” Frustrated they kept missing one another, she ended the call just in time as she heard the crunch of gravel behind her. She turned to see Jenson walking up the driveway.

She noted the tightness in his jaw, the tension in his face. He didn’t look at her as he gazed up at the bed and breakfast.

“Everything okay?” she asked.

“Yeah, you?”

“I’m good, but I need to make another call. Do you mind heading inside and checking room availability? Harry said to let them know he sent us over.”

“Sure.” Jenson disappeared into the building, and Lucy knew that something was wrong with him; she wondered if it was the phone call he’d received. No longer able to put it off, she dialed Megan’s number, knowing she was not going to be happy with their delay. Once again, the call went straight to voicemail. And again, she left a message.

“Hey, Meg. Good news - we’re both still alive. Bad news – Jenson’s clunker broke down, but we’re safe. We’re in some town in Iowa, staying the night until the car’s fixed. We might not make it to the bachelorette in time though. Try not to stress out too much. I can’t wait to see you.”

After finishing her latest round of phone tag, Jenson emerged from the bed and breakfast’s front doors and marched towards her. There was now a stormy look on his face, along with the tension from earlier.

“This place only has one room available,” he told her.

“You’re kidding me. It’s a week day. How can they be out of rooms?” Last night was bad enough. I can’t be alone with him overnight again.

“I don’t know. I asked about other nearby motels or inns, but there’s nothing for about a hundred miles.” He ran his hand through his hair, obviously stressed out.
