On the way back home from the bakery, we stopped by the grocery store because my refrigerator was completely almost bare after such a long absence. I had a young college student who was studying veterinary science take care of the animals while I was gone. Judging by the boxes in the trash, he eats like I used to eat before I met Heather. Clearly I’ve become spoiled.

As I’m carrying groceries in from the car, I get a text from Aidan.

“Hey Heather, if Aidan is trying to hunt down William, why wouldn’t he just call Jeff? Why is he asking me what the weather is like on the coast in February? You guys are the locals. I grew up in Oklahoma. He said something about needing a few days of privacy so fate can take its course.” I ask as I stash the produce in the fridge.

Heather practically trips over Ethel and Annie as she stammers, “What did you say?”

“I just got this really weird text from Aidan and I’m trying to figure out why he didn’t simply ask Kiera or Jeff for that info. I barely know the judge.”

“Oh Geez! Tara is just too spooky for words! Don’t you see? Aidan is trying to tell you Tara knows what’s going on. He’s trying to protect our privacy in case we haven’t told anyone yet. If he called Kiera and Jeff, they would know that something was up.”

“How in the world did you figure all that out from a strange text message asking about William’s phone number, the weather forecast on the coast in February, a request for privacy and musings about fate?” I ask, incredulous at her leap of logic.

“First of all, I’ve learned to never underestimate Tara’s ability to predict weird stuff. I personally have never seen her be wrong. Secondly, Aidan is a big romantic, mushy guy at heart. Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. He might not be quite the big gesture guy that Jeff is, but he’s pretty darn close. If the two of them team up, there’s no telling what could happen. Something tells me I’m going to be trying to find fresh strawberries in February.”

“Why do you sound discouraged? Isn’t this a good development for us? Doesn’t it mean that mean we don’t have to wait so long to get married?”

“Yes, that’s the upside. But, the downside is that if they do it right away, Piper and I will still be working our way through the kinks in the new shop and something might go wrong. It could be a million and one really strange things like the refrigeration not working or the ovens running too hot. I don’t want those nightmares to play out in front of the worldwide press.”

“Gidget, Piper’s mom is in the hospital, right?”

Heather pauses as I interrupt her. She nods, her expression completely reflecting her befuddlement. “Yes, she had gall bladder surgery.”

“Heather, you cooked the whole gourmet meal for me all by yourself on all of your new equipment and picked me up at the airport today without breaking a sweat.
