The Plan

“The best.” I stood on tiptoe to kiss his cheek, rough with the little bit of scruff he always left on his jaw. “You and Cal are going to rock this job. I couldn’t have left her with anyone else.”
“And you’re not really leaving. You’ll be so close at the Riverside, we’ll practically be able to hear the hammers from down here. We can walk and meet up halfway for lunch every day, and I’ll give you an update.”
“Don’t be silly. You don’t work for me, and you don’t owe me any updates. Jude and Logan’ll keep you accountable.” I smirked. “Besides, I’ll know what’s going on when I make my midnight walks down here, checking in the windows and skulking in the garden.”
“Well, that’s . . . creepy.” Alex grimaced. “I just made a note to myself to add privacy shutters to the list of things I need to get for our apartment.”
“As if that would stop me.” I paused, watching as Lester and his cohort replaced the flag poles, with the autumn leaves facing the correct way this time. “Nice job, boys.”
Lester waved, but I wasn’t entirely certain all of his fingers were participating equally in the action.
“Did he just give you the finger?” Alex squinted up.
I shrugged. “I’m choosing not to notice. Sometimes we have to cut our losses and be happy for what we’ve got.” I slid Alex’s hand into mine. “Come on inside, and I’ll fix you a drink to celebrate my last day as manager of the Hawthorne Bed and Breakfast.”
“And the first day of the rest of your life.” Alex squeezed my fingers. “I’ll drink to that.”
