“No, I’m almost done. You go ahead with the others.”Bev nodded gratefully and hurried to collect her coat and purse and follow the others out the back door. Alex took a moment to enjoy the cold breeze that wafted through the room as the door opened and closed. It was always hot in the kitchen by the end of the night, hours of cooking tended to raise the temperature several degrees despite the top-rated ventilation system she’d had installed. The breeze felt nice.Sighing, she turned back to finish cleaning her station. As the owner, she could have made someone else perform this chore, but Alex was rather possessive of her station. It had been hell for her to see Peter workingat it, switching things around and touching her tools. She was glad it was her own again.Smiling to herself as she finished, Alex put away her cleaning gear, and then removed her hat and apron as she headed into her office. It was Saturday night and they closed later on Saturdays. Still, normally she would have sat down and done a little paperwork before heading home; but now that Cale was handling the paperwork, there was nothing for her to do, and she was glad of it.
