In today’s harsh light, Shauna was faced with Owen coming to call. She hated the thought of Colette fluttering around the office while Robert manned the counter by himself this afternoon, but she’d already made one excuse not to see Owen, and he’d stayed away for several days. A second excuse would be seen as a true insult. Thankfully, Abigail kept her word to chaperone such visits. Owen had no sooner arrived and been seated in the parlor when Abigail made an appearance with the tea tray, followed by Kyla carrying plates of spiced, baked apple slices and a small crock of clotted cream. Owen inhaled appreciatively at the aroma. “Has Janet returned to the kitchen?” Kyla gave him a baleful look. “I warmed these up myself.” Shauna suppressed a smile. Kyla had warmed the apples, but they were left over from the dessert Robert had made. Perhaps it was just as well that Kyla claimed credit since Shauna didn’t want to explain about the dinner.
