"Oh, yeah! I remember this place!" Elise exclaimed as Dianne pulled the SUV up into the drive, parking before the A-frame cottage. She gave the older woman a wide grin. "What did you think of it when you first saw it?"

"I love it, and I love the man who gave it to me," Dianne said with a soft smile. She glanced back at Scott, who was sitting in the back seat. "What do you think, Scott?"

"Ah, ooh, wow!" Scott said, looking stunned. "Dad certainly has good taste. I hope my wife doesn't expect these kinds of Valentine's gifts!"

The women laughed and Dianne shook her head. "You'll remember, Scott, that I didn't exactly ask for this," she reminded him. "But if you think this big when your wife's birthday or Valentine's Day roll around, you'll have a nice, long, loving marriage."

"He's got to get the woman first," Elise quipped.

"Watch it, Collins!" Scott growled as they got out, and began pulling their bags from the vehicle. Dianne had made sure that they stopped both at a restaurant for a light meal and at a grocery for supplies, so in addition to their luggage, they had several grocery bags to pull out and tote up to the house.

"Oh my word!" Elise said when Dianne turned on the lights. "This is gorgeous!"

"Yes, it is," Dianne agreed.

Scott whistled. "Did you decorate the place or did Dad?"

"Your father did, but he did say that if there was anything I didn't like, I could replace it."

"Oh? Have you found anything to replace?"

Dianne shook her head. "Not yet." She glanced around the living room, then took her grocery bags to the kitchen. "There's one bedroom downstairs, and two upstairs. I think you can figure out which one is mine and Jeff's."

"The one with the vase of roses?" Elise said as she opened a bedroom door.

"Vase of roses?" Dianne said, hurrying to join Elise in the door to her room. "How'd that get in here?" She smelled the fragrant flowers and noticed an envelope with the words, "To my Valentine" on the front. She opened it, glancing up at Elise and Scott, both of whom had leaned around the door jamb to watch her. Her cheeks flamed and she smiled as she read it, then she put the missive back in the envelope.

"Seems thet Jeff has had th' local agent keepin' an eye on th' place," she said, a hint of drawl in her voice. "Ah'm glad. We don' need any bothah from th' local hooligans, an' bah thet Ah mean th' media." She stood up and took a deep breath of rose scent. "All right, folks. Let's get the groceries put away and get some sleep. Tomorrow will be a tough day."




98% pure evil...and loving every minute of it.
