a good idea. I don’t mind postponing until Chantelle’s feeling less fragile.”
Daniel kissed the top of her head. “By the time this week’s over, I’m sure this whole Laverne thing will be over and done with. And anyway, I can cope with Chantelle. You go. Have fun.”
They kissed, deeply and tenderly.
“Thank you, sweetheart,” Emily said, gazing at her loving husband with adoration.
Just then, the sound of distant piano music interrupted Emily’s thought process. She frowned, quirking her head to the side in confusion.
“Am I imagining that, or can you hear a piano too?” she asked Daniel.
“It sounds like one of Owen’s pieces,” Daniel replied, confirming her suspicion.
They both looked at the piano in the corner. The music definitely wasn’t coming from that! It seemed to be floating toward them from a distance.
Daniel stood from the couch and went over to the window, drawing back the curtains.
“Oh!” he exclaimed
“What is it?” Emily asked, getting up as fast as her bump permitted and going over to join him.
To her surprise she saw people walking up the path, not toward the inn, but toward Trevor’s house. Light was streaming from the windows. The piano music was emanating from that direction, too.
“The restaurant!” Emily cried.
Daniel looked shocked. “It’s opening tonight?” he said. “How did we forget?”
Emily couldn’t believe something so important could have slipped her mind.
“Baby brain,” she suggested, referring to that well-known phenomenon that caused forgetfulness in pregnancy.
“That explains it for you,” Daniel chuckled. “But what about me?”
“Well, you’ve been focusing on your promotion,” she said. “And I guess we did pass all the responsibility over to Harry. He must be so good at managing things he didn’t even need to check in with us about anything.”
She watched all the people heading toward the house for the opening night. It looked like it was going to be a popular new haunt for the people of Sunset Harbor and Emily was relieved. Missing the Labor Day business had been a worry for Emily but the restaurant just hadn’t been ready in time to open then. She’d been certain that local folk would be too tired from all the celebrations to want another, but she saw now that she should never have doubted them. The good people of Sunset Harbor were always there to support her!
