It all began for Jade Bargeron and Matt Deighton with a first date to the Forum Cinema in St Pierre to see a Mission Impossible movie.
That first date led to a
second and a third, a fourth and a fifth, there would even have been a sixth,
but in the middle of August, Matt had to go back to Sharpington to help train
some new members of staff.
Jade missed him while he was
away, she missed him coming into the Galleon each day and ordering his
coffee’s, she missed his smile.
She also missed holding hands
with him at the pictures, but most of all she missed his kiss, the goodbye kiss
before he left, was incredibly special.
So she counted the days while
he was away and looked forward to his return, by the middle of the second week
Jade was beginning to think it was a terribly slow count down.
The lengthy emails helped as
she consumed every word and digested every romance laden syllable, they were
proper love letters which she read over and over again.
The correspondence helped the
day’s race by.
Following their eastern
European tour Danny Nightingale and Molly Barrington had a wealth of material
they had gathered and spent the whole week locked in Cliff Haven metaphorically
getting it all down on paper.
The trip was so successful
they had a wealth of material and ideas, so much so that by Friday they had
surprised themselves as they had more than enough to not only complete the Sharon Jacques Book, they were working on but had some
very sound plots and ideas for another in the Fraser
Markham Book Series.
Elisa Ghelardoni and Henry
Noble had been conspicuous by their absence all week, with Elise going out
early every morning and returning late every evening, so when Molly and Danny
walked into the kitchen at 9 o’clock on Saturday morning they were surprised to
find Elisa sitting at the kitchen table drinking a mug of tea.
“Hello Elisa” Molly said and
kissed her “Not walking today?”
“Hello dear, no not yet” she
replied “I wanted to talk to you first”
“Oh ok” she said, “What
about?”
“I’ve got a job” she said
smugly
“Really, where?”
“The Seaview Hotel”
“On St Giles?” Danny asked
“Yes, I’m to be the
cook”
At roughly the same time
Reverend Henry Noble was having a similar conversation with Arielle Archer
about him starting to work at the St Giles Retreat.
They would only be working on
St Giles from Monday to Friday, they would get the Water Taxi to Cabot Town on
Monday mornings and return to Spaniards Creek the same way on Saturdays.
“So I will be here every
Sunday to help with the Services”
He said
“Of course, that will change
when we get married” Elisa said
“Married?” Molly asked and
Elisa nodded
“You’re getting married” she
squealed, and they hugged
“I can feel a celebration
dinner coming on” Danny said
There was indeed a
celebration dinner at the Beaumont Manor that evening, where the six of them
were joined by Victoria and Harold.
The Sunday service was much
more subdued than usual because Arielle and Henry were both nursing colossal
hangovers.
