Peeling her coat off and draping it over the back of her chair, Millie offered the woman an apologetic smile. “Sorry I’m late. This has been an absolutely crazy day. Your brother will be along behind me; he sent me ahead to grab a table, but thankfully, you’ve already grabbed one for us. You didn’t have any problem finding the restaurant, did you?” she asked. “Given that it’s the only real restaurant in this town and it’s the only place at all to eat on Main Street, I found it just fine,” Aubrey mocked with a mischievous grin. “You know, I can really see the family resemblance between you and your brother at times like these,” Millie returned with a chuckle, pulling out her chair and sinking into it. She nearly groaned as she sat back in her seat, her busy morning finally catching up with her. Exhaling harshly, Millie closed her eyes for a moment. “I truly hope your morning has been a lot less taxing than mine has,” she declared upon opening her eyes and looking across the table at her newest friend.
