Chapter 212

Eden

"They sent an adjuster out last week, and he cut me a check today," I'm telling Kelsea as she and I eat lunch in The CafŽ. "Surprised the hell out of me. I figured it'd be a fight, but I should be back open tomorrow. We're only going to do to-go orders until I can get everything fixed, but at least we'll be bringing in income. Most of the damage was to the tables and dining area, not the equipment. I have workers coming in overnight the next few nights to fix everything. It's going to be a hectic few days, but at least I'll be back open, and that's what I wanted more than anything."

"Oh, Eden, I'm so excited for you! See, things are looking up," she smirks, a sly smile lighting up her face. "So how are things going with Devante?"
