Honey opened her bedroom door to a smiling Barbara Hughes. “Thank you. And thanks again for not minding that I took my meal up here this morning.” Barbara’s tanned and age-spotted skin crinkled as she gave Honey a commiserating smile. “I’ve been married for more than forty years, happily so, but there are mornings when I don’t want to bear witness to canoodling newlyweds, either.” From what Honey had seen of Mrs. Hughes around the young honeymooners who had checked in the evening before while Honey had been at the garage, it was pretty clear the senior B&B owner adored young love in all forms. But Honey appreciated her trying to make things easier for her single guest. Barbara’s warm brown eyes twinkled a bit as she added, “You have a safe drive over the causeway. I hope you can get things straightened out okay.” Barbara had chatted up Honey first thing that morning when she’d come down to grab coffee and some biscuits with gravy, which was when Honey learned it was already common knowledge that Bea Chantrell’s niece had come to claim her inheritance, only to find it leased out to the much beloved cupcake baker—who also happened to be the daughter of the very well respected island sheriff—and her equally adored television star, British pastry chef husband.
