EXCERPT
Never panic-shop.
Also, never drink and shop. And especially never panic, drink, and shop.
I’d done all of the above.
The tearoom’s oven broke last month while I was baking quiches. The estimate for
its repair had been nearly as much as a new oven. In a fit of panick and piña
coladas, I’d bought a new one.
The thought still made my insides curdle like over-whipped clotted cream.
Industrial ovens ain’t cheap.
I hated budget pandemonium, especially when I was its cause. There was a certain
joy in watching numbers fall into place, especially on the profit side of the
ledger. And I’d just messed with my carefully balanced tearoom universe.
So I was more than a little anxious as I studied our tearoom. Miniature pumpkins
lined its broad windows. Paper bats dangled from hanging lamps and sprouted from
tiered tea trays.
Even the costumed Tarot readers had gotten into the Halloween groove. The scent
of baking sugar and pumpkin hung in the air. Women chatted at their tables,
teacups clinking.
It was October first, day one of the Halloween season, and San Borromeo (saint
of heartburn) was becoming a Halloween town. This was a good thing for those of
us dependent on tourism. Tourists don’t flock to the Pacific beach quite as
often in October, despite the occasional day of spectacular weather. The
Halloween festivities meant more customers.
Beanblossom’s Tea and Tarot needed those customers, especially after that new
oven. It was a really awesome oven, though.
