“Do you have the shopping list?” Lisa asked Claire, over their new reception desk right at the front entrance of the Inn. Lisa stroked the freshly oiled surface. The lemony scent that lingered in the air made her smile. To get the huge desk down from the attic was quite the achievement. Both of them were basking in all the old furniture they’d found in the attic, but when their eyes fell on the desk, they just knew. Every day was like stepping into an adventure. A little scary but a lot more exciting. This was their future, their business. So they were thrilled when they found the long-forgotten treasure sheltered by a thick dusk layer. They had looked at each other and said “reception” in unison and stubborn as they both were, didn’t relent until they had hauled it down by themselves.

Not without minor injuries like stubbed toes, scratches, and big bruises here and there. But also with a lot of easy banter and laughing sprees that sapped their energy.

The little green library lamp on top of the reception desk rounded out the picture—sophisticated, with old-time charm. They should put a small bookshelf in here too, with books and magazines for the guests to choose from.

“Yes, I have the list. I know the way. I know how to shop for groceries. It won’t take me long,” Claire answered. She opened the front door and Lisa heard a familiar car pull into their parking lot.

“You got a visitor. Remember you are working. No fooling around while on duty.” Claire winked and slipped out right before the paper clip she threw at her made contact with the doorframe.

“Very funny,” Lisa grumbled but instantly felt heat climbing up her neck, just like every single time she remembered having sex with Peter just days ago.

The door opened and when he stepped in, looking impeccable and incredible sexy in his uniform, the heat intensified.

“Hey there, beautiful. Has he arrived yet?” Peter propped his hands on the desk and kissed her lightly.

Lisa never thought men in uniform would turn her on, but Peter in uniform—phew.

Lisa shook herself out of her daydreaming and glanced around. “Who?” She hadn’t the first idea who he was talking about.

“The husband of Mrs. Ketley, Room 5? Is he already here?”

Lisa tried hard not to think of Grace Ketley. Days were easier; they had so much going on, that she hadn’t had much time to think of her, but nights were shit. That was when the pictures came back to haunt her.

“No, I don’t think so, and Claire didn’t say anything either. A little heads-up he’s coming today would have been nice, though.”

Peter put his fists into the front pockets of his trousers and shifted back on his heels. “Sorry, wasn’t my call. I shouldn’t even be here, but there’s been a car accident near Whitebrook, so here I am.”

Lisa shrugged her shoulders and then crossed her arms in front of her chest. “Do you know anything more about Grace’s death?
