“Of course, I did. You have a beautiful home. May I ask who organized for you?”
“My Aunt Barb helped when I moved in. Why?”
“No offense to your Aunt Barb, but her organizing skills aren’t that good.”
I couldn’t help but chuckle.
“I went ahead and reorganized some things for you. You’ll find it’s more convenient my way. Go sit down, and I’ll serve you your dinner.”
“What did you make?” I asked out of curiosity.
“Beef Wellington, duchess potatoes, parmesan asparagus, and for dessert, Lemon Posset.”
I sat down at the table and stared at her as she plated my food.
“Ophelia, can I ask you something?”
“Yes, Dr. Kind. What is it?”
“First off, call me Grayson. Second, did Ava meet with her client today?”
“Don’t worry. I alerted Ava’s client that she had an emergency and needed to reschedule. Her client said not to worry, and they’ll meet next week.” She set my plate in front of me.
“Wow. This looks and smells delicious.”
“Thank you.” She walked over to the sink and started doing the dishes.
“Aren’t you going to join me?” I asked.
“No, I couldn’t do that.” She shook her head.
“Why? You spent all day cooking this great meal and should enjoy it. Fix yourself a plate and sit down.”
“I—”
I stood up from my seat, took down a plate from the cabinet, and handed it to her. “Please, Ophelia, join me for dinner.”
She blushed as she took the plate from me. “If you insist.”
The sliding door opened, and Gabriel stepped in.
“Oh, sorry, bro. I didn’t—”
“You must be Dr. Gabriel Kind.” Ophelia smiled.
“Yes, I am.” His brows furrowed as he glanced at me.
“Gabriel, this is Ophelia. She was kind enough to clean my house and cook this wonderful dinner.”
“That’s why it smells so clean in here.” My brother smiled.
“Sit down, Dr. Kind, and I’ll fix you a plate,” Ophelia spoke.
“Thank you, but I can’t—”
“Yes, you can.” She pulled out a chair for him.
I looked at him and gestured for him to sit down.
