“Is that one of those recycled silk yarns?” Megan asked, looking across the knitting table. “I haven’t seen those for months.”

Kelly leaned back in her chair and checked the rows of reds, blues, and greens on her needles. “Indeed it is. I got tired of seeing it sitting in my stash basket and decided to do something with it. It’s a funny yarn and doesn’t work with everything.”

Jennifer looked up from the peach-colored top she was finishing. “It’s coming along nicely, Kelly.”

“Anything happening at the real estate office?” Megan asked.

“I wish it were, but buyers are few and far between. Except for investors. And they’re scooping up most of those foreclosure properties at bank sales. They’re getting some really sweet deals, too.”

“Hang in there, Jen,” Megan said, obviously worried.

“With the help of the extra university catering and my office broker, I’ll be okay. He’s been helping me out because the Turner deal fell through. He’s even paying me to go to Denver for him this week. There’s a real estate meeting on the mortgage loan modifications that are possible now. I’m going to take notes so I can make a presentation at the office next week.”

Kelly looked up from her colorful yarn. “That’s great he’s paying you. What day is the meeting?”

“This Friday. I plan to get on the interstate really early in the morning so I’ll have a fighting chance to be at the Denver Tech Center by eight thirty.”

“I have to be in Denver for a meeting on Friday, too. I’d planned to go down on Thursday and check into that Cherry Creek hotel, relax, and not have to fight the morning traffic. Why don’t you join me? I’ve already charged the room, so there’d be no cost to you.”

Jennifer looked up, clearly surprised. “That would be great. I’ve never been in that hotel because it’s too pricey, but I’ve been dying to see it.”

“You’ll love it,” Kelly said, returning to her stitches. “It’s a huge suite. There’s a heated Jacuzzi tub and fancy bathroom. Two double beds. Downy soft bedding to snuggle into at night. All sorts of goodies and stuff are in the fridge, and I have room service when I’m really dragged out from those meetings. Or, we can go out to dinner Thursday night. Lots of good cafés in Cherry Creek.”

“Okay, that is way too tempting for me to pass up,” Megan said, dropping her lime green yarn and the needles to her lap. “Can I invite myself along? I have to get to Denver to check out those last bridal shops or Mimi will have my head. I’d thought about going this weekend, but I didn’t want to go alone. This way, I’ll be with you guys Thursday night, then I can hit the shops all day Friday, while you’re both in meetings.”

“Sure, Megan. We’ll make it a working road trip. There’s plenty of room in that suite.”

“Thanks, Kelly, that will make the odious bridal shop search more bearable. I’m only doing it for Mimi.
