Are you sure these figures are right?â
Looking at the charts and papers littering Rachel's kitchen table, Maura held her excitement in check. So much had been going right lately, she hesitated to believe that the streak would continue and they would finish the renovation on schedule.
âAbsolutely.â Rachel looked over her shoulder from where she stood at the counter by the stove. âDo you want me to go over it with you again?â
Through the small window over the sink Maura could see the first snow of the season wafting down, making the bare tree limbs glisten and sparkle. Even the weather was beautiful. Maybe she just needed to relax. She turned back to Rachel. âIt's not that I donât understand it. Iâm just surprised there's no crisis to deal with.â
Rachel came to the table with mugs of hot chocolate for each of them and sat down.
âIsnât it great? Other than that minor hiccup with the seats, it's been smooth sailing. Everybody we hired finished their portion of the job on time. I think that's a minor miracle right there.â
Maura nodded, wrapping her hands around the warm mug. âThis is the first time Iâve done any remodeling myself, but on those TV shows the crew always goes over schedule and over budget. Which reminds me, how is our budget?â
Rachel shuffled through the papers until she found the right spreadsheet. âGood.â She pushed the sheet across the table to Maura. âWe did go over just a smidge in a few places. But my financial genius husband planned ahead for that and built in some wiggle room. Overall, weâre doing great.â
âNow we just have to keep it that way.â She looked at Rachel over the rim of her mug. âWeâve got to start bringing in revenue.â
Rachel nodded. âIâve been thinking about that. Since weâll be ready for business after the first of December, why donât we have some screenings of old movies with Christmas themes?â
Maura sat up straighter in her chair. âOoh, I like it. We could show White Christmas and It's a Wonderful Life.â Just saying the titles made her feel nostalgic.
They spent the next half hour talking about contacting film distributors, advertising, and spreading the word about the theatre/meeting center beyond the boundaries of Granger.
âAnd donât forget,â Rachel said, âweâve got to put together that Christmas pageant with Faith.â
How could she possibly forget? âGot it covered. Lainie and I already started working on it. Weâve got the youth doing a couple of skits, and the Sunday school kids singing some carols. I still need to flesh it out a bit, though. You wouldnât happen to know any people with amazing hidden talents, would you?â
âIâll give it some thought. But what about Nick?â
âWhat about him?â
âJust that you havenât mentioned him. Since this is a joint project with the church, I assumed heâd be involved. Do you have a part for him?â
That was a loaded question. Ever since he came to her rescue with the men's breakfast group, sheâd found herself thinking of Nick and what part they would play in each other's lives.
