Chapter 10

“That was bill collectors again. Apparently my family has given them this number. They are demanding that I pay for their services or my family will be shut off.” Kerry looked at Camps. “That just breaks my heart that they don’t have phone service.”

He laughed and set a plate of eggs and ham in front of her. He’d told her yesterday that since the dining room furniture had arrived, she should eat in there and he’d find someone to serve her. She told him if she couldn’t eat in the kitchen with him, she’d have to not eat. He smiled, the old softy.

“Master Bowen Senior will be here shortly. He said that you and he had a date.” She’d forgotten about that. He was taking her to the cable office to see if she could help them out with a few bumps.

“He’s a nice man. And I really like Corrine.” She’d been told in no uncertain terms to call them by their first names. She had been embarrassed at first, but enjoyed them too much not to do as they had asked.

“When he would come to the mansion in DC, he would tease my missus.” Camps smiled. “Sometimes he would make her laugh even when she didn’t feel well.”

“I’m sorry that she passed away. I’ve heard great things about her.” He nodded. “Reed tells me that we’re having Thanksgiving here. You need my help?”

She nearly laughed at the expression on his face, but he turned away quickly. Burn one hamburger and the kitchen was off limits. Not that she cared. Kerry hated to cook.

“I can peel potatoes or chop up lettuce if you want. And grate things without losing my fingers now, thanks to you.” He turned back and smiled at her. “I would never try to cook anything again. I promise.”

He nodded. “I have a menu planned out. If you would have time to look it over, I can start on some of the things we can freeze beforehand. Then there is the turkey. I’ll have to place an order for one now for the size we’ll need for you all.”

“My family never had Thanksgiving dinners. I would have had to make sure they had all the ingredients and then cook it. I’m not sure who cooks for them now, but when I lived there, we had a lot of meals that were already precooked. With working and taking care of them and school, I didn’t have a lot of time to figure out cooking too.” She looked over the neatly written menu. “I was wondering if you could add something. I really like those pull apart rolls you make for us. I guess baked bread is what the family wants though. Never mind.”

He took the menu from her and marked out bread and wrote pull apart. “It is in this household and you are mistress here. We will have what you wish.”

She laughed and looked up when George knocked once and came into the kitchen. Reed was working with the police this morning on a murder or he would have taken her.
