With the computer fired up to find the coffee shop suppliers, and food on the table, she called Rob to tell him food was ready. She smiled to herself.

“It sure is the way to Rob’s heart,” Kim thought. Then she stopped in her tracks and asked herself if she was really trying to find the way to his heart. It was still a situation she found a bit unreal. This man had been a friend since childhood, and she wondered if it was possible to fall for someone and change the relationship so drastically. The man in question arrived for lunch and kissed her on the top of her head.

“Why the computer?” he asked as he started the sandwich, and she told him that she would have to source the coffee shop installers. “I’ll ask Clay. He has a huge amount of contacts.” He pulled out his phone and did as he said then handed the phone over to Kim.

“Clay, hello,” she said. “Can you suggest who to contact about this coffee shop?”

“I can do better than that,” he answered. “Mario Cleves is meeting me after lunch. It won’t take long to decide on our business, and then I can bring him over to see your space. He is a good guy—very trustworthy and works fast.”

“That sounds wonderful,” she said. “You can see the space for the dividing walls as well.”

“We should make it around two-thirty,” he said and ended the call.

“Thanks, Rob. At least when somebody is recommended, it takes the risk away of choosing somebody online.” She went to the fridge. “I had no time to make cake and went to the bakery instead.” She produced a trifle and was rewarded with a smile that did strange things to her insides. There was a knock on the door, and Jules and Miller came inside.

“What a lovely surprise,” Kim said. “Come and have coffee. Who is looking after the barn?”

“My mother has decided that she would like to be involved, and we left her to try it out.” Miller laughed. “She’ll either charm the customers or send them away screaming.” Jules interrupted to say that he would like to see the quilt if that was okay. He had looked at the photos and wondered if seeing the thing in real life would let him move a step further. Kim went to get it out.

“It’s not creepy when there are a few people here, but I still don’t trust this thing.” She half laughed at her own silliness, but the others made no comment and they all looked as it was rolled out. Rob pointed out Robbie MacManus. Jules looked at his photos, then at the quilt, and pointed.

“It is more than one line and there is a piece missing.” They all leaned over to where he was indicating. “There is another word above.”

“And that is an A,” Kim said. “I’ve gotten used to seeing the letters we already know. It’s four letters.” Then she looked again. “No, it’s two words and the second starts with an A.
