Walking into the kitchen of the B&B I found Twila Faye sitting at the table buttering a blueberry muffin.

“Hey, girl,” she said. “Join me while I take my coffee break.”

“Those muffins sure smell good.” I poured myself a cup of coffee. “Where’s Ali?” I asked, taking a bite of muffin.

Twila Faye smiled. “Probably still wrapped up in Paul’s arms. She was in here pretty early, got breakfast ready, and then went back to her apartment. Haven’t seen her since.”

“She’ll miss him when he has to leave.”

“She’ll miss all that lovin’, no doubt.”

“Shame on you for thinking such thoughts.”

Twila Faye raised her eyebrows and laughed. “Yeah, right. Honey, it’s the natural way of things. Nothin’ wrong with lovemakin’ if you love the one you’re with.”

I joined her laughter and recalled a song by that title.

“Why, Twila, if I didn’t know better, I’d say you had a special someone in your life.”

“Nah, ’fraid not. But the rumors I’ve been hearin’ tells me that you might.”

“Me? Where’d you hear that?”

“Yeah, you. Word travels fast on this island, ya know. Heard Mr. Noah sent you some mighty pretty flowers for your birthday and seems you were spotted out and about having dinner with him.”

“Geez, it’s true. Nothing is sacred around here.” Getting up, I rinsed my cup in the sink. “He did send flowers…and we did have dinner.”

“And?”

I laughed. “And that’s all I have to say. Tell Sleeping Beauty when she emerges that I’m going into work and I’ll see her this evening.”
