A month ago, the weather in Sugar Briar was cold and there was
snow on the ground. Lots of it. That weather had quickly cleared, and the
sun had come out, warming the town and melting the snow. Today was no
exception. The huge golden ball in the sky put me in a happy mood. It was
one I hadn’t felt lately with the goings on in the town. It still bothered me
that Donna had died in the sheriff’s jail before they had a chance to question
her.
Penelope and I thought she had a partner. We also never found out what
George had seen that got him killed. So, who Donna’s partner could be, we
hadn’t found out. The good citizens of my small town were shocked and
dismayed by what had happened. I was frustrated that we didn’t have any
answers.
I walked in front of my café, Coffee Bean. There were flowers in white
planters under the windows, and I checked to see if they were doing well.
The splashes of color from the petals looked lovely against the white
window frames. I smiled as I stepped back and admired my business. It
hadn’t been easy getting what I wanted because my parents thought I was
“playing” at being a business owner. I certainly was not. I enjoyed my work
and looked forward to getting up in the morning. In fact, I would soon be
living above the coffee shop.
I lifted my face and grinned when I saw Jessop Hallen leaning out of the
third-floor window. He grinned back. Jessop ran the construction company I
had hired for the renovations. He’d done an excellent job as well. The
kitchen had been installed last week. The painting and tiling had been
finished yesterday, and the carpets would be laid in a few days. The
butterflies in my stomach flapped their wings with nervous excitement. I
couldn’t wait to have a place of my own. It would be nice not to be judged
by my father every day or have my mother trying to marry me off.
She hadn’t stopped after the fiasco with Trevor. I wish I could say it was
over, but it wasn’t. Trevor told me that he considered me his fiancée
whether I liked it or not. I figured the best thing to do was ignore him. At
least I had the support of my brother, albeit silent support, as he was best
friends with Trevor.
The weather had brought out an abundance of tourists, earlier than
expected. The businesses in the town square enjoyed the tourists because
they spent money. However, they clogged the roads into town, which was a
constant complaint of mine. “You can’t have it both ways, Tallulah!” Pen
would say.
The red, purple, yellow, and pink flowers swayed gently in a light
breeze as I gave up my fussing and stepped into Coffee Bean. I smiled over
at Bernie, who was a full-time employee. I had two other employees who
worked part-time, Sam and Jessica. They were both twelfth graders at the
local high school.
