Page 16 of Summer Serenade
“Let me check.” The sound of typing on a keyboard filled her ear. “Up to another month based on his reservation, but that isn’t a firm check-out date. We said we could be flexible with his stay. Few can afford the suite where he’s staying.”
That would help her uncle’s bottom line. Not that the hotel lacked for business during the summer. As for her…
Quinn Valley was a small town. She could avoid Nash for a few weeks, even a month, if need be. She didn’t go out much, preferring to spend her free time writing music or hanging out with her family.
“As long as he doesn’t come to the pub, his being in town won’t be a problem.” She would do everything she could to not see him again. “But could you let me know when he checks out, please?”
“Of course, dear.” Compassion filled his voice. “If you need someone else to talk to about this, Travis might be able to help.”
“Thanks, Uncle Bob.”
Ivy, however, wouldn’t call Travis because she didn’t want to talk about Nash Bennett to anyone. Until she heard that he’d left Quinn Valley, she would stick close to home. Other than her shifts at the pub and a once-a-week trip to the grocery store, she would avoid every other place in town. If she needed anything more, she could drive to Riston. The only social event coming up was the family’s annual Fourth of July party at her grandparents’ ranch. She would be safe there.
A solid plan.
Nothing wrong with being a homebody. That would give her more time to write music and forget Nash Bennett ever existed.
