“Six-thirty Thursday, inside the church fellowship hall.” He turned to Brenna. “And I want you there to take a few notes on ideas the people of Fleur might have about the house and gardens. We have a gem of a home right here in Fleur and my client wants to make sure everyone here is comfortable with what will probably become a tourist attraction. He hopes to open both the house and the gardens for tours at certain times when he’s traveling on business.”
“I’ll be there,” Brenna replied, touched that both Nick and he-who-she-couldn’t-mention were willing to do this for the town.
Callie stood up. “Nick, you have to tell us about this man.”
Nick shook his head. “I can’t do that. My contract has a very precise confidentiality clause.”
“Which we will honor,” Brenna replied, sending her sister a warning look.
“Oh, all right.” Callie made a face. “Want a bowl of bread pudding, Nick?”
Nick glanced at Brenna. “I shouldn’t—”
“Oh, live a little, boss,” Brenna said. “It might make you sweeter.”
He laughed at that. “I’ll have some, then. With some of that strong coffee Fleur seems to be famous for.”
Callie brought him his pudding and coffee. “I have to get back to work. I’ll see y’all later.”
He watched as Brenna gathered her things, obviously in a hurry to get away from him. “What is this? I have to eat all alone?”
She stopped, glanced around. “I see a lot of people in here.”
“I don’t know them yet.”
“You don’t know me yet, either,” she said. “I’ll be at your meeting and I’ll take copious notes, but right now I want to research some art for the house. I want to get this right as much as you do, believe it or not.”
“I believe you,” he said, wishing she’d stay while he willed her to go. “Go, get to work. I am paying you a lot of money, after all.”
“Yes, sir.”
He watched her walk away, that elusive fragrance following her. Then he looked up to find Winnie smiling down at him.
“I’m still here,” she said with a grin.
Nick laughed at that because he was pretty sure Winnie was married and had four children. “Sit down and keep me company, then. And while you’re at it, maybe you can tell me why I find that woman so fascinating.”
