ON Wednesday morning, Audrey found a message from Liza on her cell phone. “Hey, Audrey, I was just wondering when you wanted to come over and meet Nick Dempsey. He usually gets back to the inn around four p.m., so I thought you could just be hanging out here, blocking the doorway or something, so he can’t get up to his room without talking to you. Let me know what you think of my subtle plan. Any day this week is good for me. And by the way,” she added, “did I tell you that he loves goat cheese and is an amateur chef?”

Audrey was still feeling drained and blue about their visit to the doctor and her conversation with Rob; she didn’t feel up to a visit to the inn to meet her favorite heartthrob movie star. Besides, she still had to catch up on her work. Even one day away from the farm left double the chores. Audrey called Liza back a few hours later and thanked her for the invitation. “I can come tomorrow. Will that be okay?”

“Perfect. He should be back again between three thirty and four, so just come a little before that,” Liza told her.

“I’m not sure if I can get my hair and nails done and lose ten pounds by three fifteen tomorrow. But I’ll try. See you then,” she promised. “And I’ll bring plenty of cheese. I’ve got that one covered.”

“I’m sure you do,” Liza replied.

Liza was the crafty one, Audrey realized the next day as she dressed and put on makeup for her sneak attack on Nick Dempsey. It was as if her friend had guessed she was feeling low and had figured out the perfect distraction. Well, it seemed to be working, Audrey thought as she fluffed out her auburn hair and checked the tie at the back of her sundress.

I’m no Beverly Hills babe, that’s for sure. I look like a country girl, plain and simple. But that’s who I am and it will have to do, she decided with a smile.

Down in the kitchen, she grabbed the basket of gourmet cheeses and treats she had prepared for her idol and started for the door.

The dog, who had been following her around all day as usual, trekked close behind. Audrey didn’t see any harm in that. Liza wouldn’t mind, as long as the dog stayed out on the porch.

They soon arrived on Liza’s property. As Audrey walked through the gated trellis in the fence, she saw Liza waiting on the porch. The dog bounded up the stairs, eager to make new friends, her tail wagging wildly.

“Down! Don’t jump up on Liza!” Audrey commanded, jogging now to catch up with the dog.

“So you kept her, I see.” Liza was laughing as the dog tried to lick her face.

“She kept us, you might say. We didn’t get any calls from the flyers yet. And Rob likes her, too. Neither one of us wants to take her back to the shelter. So here she is, in all her furry glory,” Audrey added.
