Will lounged in the open doorway to Coastal Creations, taking a break from the tedious work of sifting through all of Whitney’s paperwork. He felt like he was finally making headway. He’d found the backup for the deductions she’d taken, along with some that she’d missed, and lectured her on keeping better track of expenses, though he knew it was a lost cause. He was going to find her a bookkeeper before he left town. She needed one to come in weekly and keep her on track, otherwise he was going to repeat this whole process again next year… and that would mean returning to Indigo Bay.

He looked up as Ashley came walking down the sidewalk towards him, lost in thought. The sunlight bounced off the reddish highlights in her hair. Her hair was pulled back in what he now considered her normal workday, out-of-the-way, practical braid.

Whitney had laughed at him when he’d mentioned it and said it was a French braid. Okay, was there a Spanish braid? An English braid? Women had strange terms for things, like the way they had fancy names for colors. Seafoam blue, chartreuse—he’d admit he had to look that one up. Or orange—why call it orange when you could call it tangerine, or melon, or coral? He watched Ashley come closer in her red dress. Red. Not a fancy what-the-heck-color dress.

“Hey, Ash. What are you doing wandering the streets in the middle of the day?”

She looked up, startled. “Oh, it’s you. I… well, I have an unusually light schedule today.”

“I thought doctors were always busy on Mondays, isn’t that some kind of rule or something?”

“Well, I’m not.” Her words came out in a short staccato burst.

“Hey, sorry. I didn’t mean to make you mad.” He reached out to touch her arm.

She sighed. “You didn’t. I’m just… upset. Just about my entire day cancelled on me today.”

“That’s strange.”

“Not so strange when I heard Vicki’s been spreading rumors about me. How I didn’t take care of Mia and who knows what else.”

Will felt a lump in his throat. He’d caused this by telling Vicki off at the festival, and Vicki had gotten even by taking it out on Ashley.

“I’m so sorry, Ash. It’s my fault. I stood up to her and told her off. You said it wasn’t good to make Vicki mad. I should have listened to you. I’m sorry.”

“It’s not your fault. She was already gunning for me. I’m sure she’s behind me not getting into the Ashland Belle Society, too. She’s never liked me.”

“Vicki only likes herself. You saw how she treated Mia.”

“Well, people in Indigo Bay listen to her.” Ashley shaded her eyes with her hand and looked down the street. “I told Jerri Lynn to call if anyone else shows up at the clinic. I’m headed to Sweet Caroline’s to drown my sorrows in a piece of her pecan pie and some sweet tea.”

“How about I join you?”

“If you want.”

“Ouch, don’t sound so enthusiastic.” He grabbed at his heart with an exaggerated grimace.
