“So, you’re in charge of this place?”
Meg brushed the pads of her fingers across her
forehead. “I took it over early last year.”
“Do you and Gina own it together? That’s pretty
cool considering you both grew up here.”
It would have been cool, if Gina’s husband hadn’t
up and left his family, leaving Gina depressed and feeling ill-equipped to
provide the emotional and financial stability her children needed. Gina had
trusted her older sister to do a better job raising the triplets. “No. I own
and operate it alone. Gina isn’t in the picture.” Why on earth had Gina married
so young? And why had Meg ever promised her sister she’d keep the B&B open
for the children to maintain a sense of normalcy?
Luke scratched his head. Giggles sounded from the
kitchen. “Where is she?”
“Your guess is as good as mine.” If Luke planned
to stay here for any length of time, he’d find out soon enough. “Gina and her
husband abandoned their kids and signed over their rights to me. I haven’t
heard from either since.” Babies having babies. They hadn’t been prepared to
start a family.
“Oh, Meggie.”
Meg’s heart squeezed at the sound of the nickname
he’d given her their freshman year of high school. A lifetime ago. “I don’t
need your pity or your charity. You will pay the cost of one room or no deal.”
“Whatever you say. May I ask what’s wrong with the
other rooms?”
“We had a big storm a few weeks ago. The roof
suffered significant damage. The insurance company covered the replacement
cost, but there was substantial interior damage that wasn’t covered. Gina and
Greg, my brother-in-law, had the most basic coverage on the property. Neither
had a good head for business. They weren’t qualified to open a B&B. There’s
a second mortgage on the property and not enough money to cover all the bills.”
Her chest tightened.
“You might not remember the clubhouse I built as a
teen, but I’m still pretty handy with a hammer and paintbrush. Maybe while I’m
here, you’ll let me take a look. I can save you some money.” He stepped in a
little closer. “Of course, you haven’t given me a green light on the room.”
The phone wasn’t exactly ringing off the hook for
reservations. As uncomfortable as it might be with Luke as a guest, Meg had to
admit, six weeks of guaranteed cash flow would relieve some of the stress.
