Ford lifted his toolbox off the back of his truck. Another cupboard to be fixed over at the Sea Shack. What were they doing to those things? If he found out that Hallie was deliberately damaging the Sea Shack’s property in order to get him to come over, he’d have to take it up with Tom.
He was on his way to the restaurant when he spotted a familiar face among the tourists.
“Annabelle!”
His daughter heard him loud and clear. He knew this because she looked over, froze for a split second, and then turned away.
“Annabelle!”
And there she disappeared into the throng of tourists browsing for T-shirts and snow globes… Ford resisted the urge to chase after her – he had some dignity left in him after all. Instead, he headed over to the Sea Shack.
He almost turned back around when he spotted Kristen Barnes at the table she’d occupied the last time he saw her, but Hallie spotted him and waved him over to the bar.
“Hey, glad you could make it,” she beamed.
“Another broken cupboard, huh?” he said and put his toolbox on the counter.
“A bunch of klutz,” Hallie shrugged.
