Chapter 11

The next morning, Alistair rings before I have even opened an eye. My stay at the Earnest Ewe Inn has been one of the most pleasant I have ever had. The pub owner gave me a fantastic rate when I told him I was sent by “Mickey.” He put me up in a room with a soft but firm mattress that was so comfortable, I fell asleep without the aid of any medicine.

“Good morning, Alistair,” I answer the phone with a breathy voice, wondering if he’s going to tell me to hold the line for the Prince. Does Alex miss me already? Maybe he wants to meet for breakfast and to tell me that he’s always dreamed of life with a big-boned girl such as myself.

“Good Morning, Ms. Rue, I wanted to tell you that Prince Alex informed me of your rental car problems. The rental car company has promised to drop off another car at the Earnest Ewe should you wish. Or if you prefer, they will refund your money and you can take the train back to London, which I think you would greatly prefer. It’s a much more pleasant way to travel. Driving from Scotland to London is just wretched.”

I yawn. It’s all very considerate, but all I want to do is fall back asleep. I eye the clock, half past nine.

“Actually, a new rental car would be great. And if you don’t mind, I need to make a small detour before coming back to London.”

“I’ll let the rental company know.”

He rings off and I fall back into a deep sleep, dreaming about how convenient it would be to have an Alistair of my own to arrange all my schedules.
