Story: The Wolf of My Eye
“What do you want us to do?” Robert asked.
“If you don’t mind, maybe you guys can clean up the guest room. One of our guests is checking out by ten. So we can get that ready for the next guest coming in at three. I’ll take William and Chelsea out to capture some more fun boyfriend/girlfriend pictures after the guests’ breakfasts are done,” Maisie said.
“Okay, Iverson and I can do that, while William and Edward watch over you ladies.”
“That sounds perfect. First, I want to know if Chelsea or William got any messages.”
“You and me both, Maisie.”
They left their bedroom and checked on everyone else, telling them the plan.
“Jack didn’t contact me yet. I wonder if he’s anxious about returning here, afraid he might just get caught,” Chelsea said.
William looked at his phone and smiled. “Jack sent me a friend request.”
Everyone just stared at him, waiting to hear more.
“Okay, I accepted.”
“Let’s wait and see if he responds once he sees your selfie with Chelsea,” Robert said.
The ladies had made eggs and haddock and brought them to the table. They began to eat, and William got a comment on his post.
Everyone stopped what they were doing to see what he had to say.
William laughed. “Janet said she met Chelsea and she’s such a nice woman. She hopes that the two of us enjoy spending time together.”
Chelsea smiled. “Your mom is so sweet, Anne, Maisie.”
“She’s funny. I didn’t expect her to get involved in this charade,” Maisie said.
“Me either,” Anne said.
After breakfast, they got busy with their other jobs. Robert and Iverson took care of the vacated guest room while the ladies took meal orders and began making breakfast for the guests.
After they were done, Maisie went out with Chelsea and William to take photos in the woods while Anne stayed with Iverson at the inn and Edward and Robert watched out for Maisie and the “couple.”
Maisie photographed them hand in hand in the woods, and then they took selfies to make it look like they were on their own.
After they returned to the inn, Chelsea and William posted their pictures on their Facebook pages. Then they all had tea and waited to see if there was any response. Nothing.
“I would say Jack might not be monitoring your Facebook page, Chelsea. But since he friended William, I feel like he has taken the bait,” Robert said.
“I got a message from him! Jack asked where I am. He is worried about me because he has been dropping by my apartment and I haven’t been there.” Chelsea smiled. “I’m glad I’m here. What do you suggest I say?”
“You’re in the Highlands, enjoying a vacation because you don’t have a hospice job right now and you have friends you’re staying with?” Maisie said.
“That could work if Jack thinks Chelsea’s got friends and is protected and so at least she would be safe,” Robert said. “So he might think he could solely go after his competition.”
“What if Jack thinks Chelsea’s friends are really just one guy—William?” Iverson asked.
“That’s a possibility,” Anne said. “That could be good because he might think she is lying and want to get rid of the guy who has come between them. So he will come to take William out, and then we’ll get him.”
“He will think Chelsea isn’t telling him the whole story anyway if she doesn’t mention seeing William.” Maisie finished her tea. “Does anyone want another cup of lavender tea?”
Everyone did, and she went into the kitchen to heat up some more water.
“Go ahead and post what Maisie suggested and see what happens,” William said.
