"Perfect."

They finished their tour and then sat down in the common room at the small folding table. The regular furniture had not been delivered yet.

Margo let Carley write out the Listing Contract. She did a nice job asking all the questions of Quinn, who was very patient with her. Carley wrote it up.

Margo smiled at her when she was finished. Carley glanced at Quinn. "We're going to take this back and type it all up, then I'll email it to you to e-sign it."

He chuckled. "That sounds good. I'll watch for it.

Margo stood and hugged Quinn. "Thank you, Quinn. May I ask what you've decided to call these condo units and this association?"

He chuckled, "Well, we've just decided to keep it The Barracks. I know that sounds different and maybe uninviting, but I've asked the staff over at the Sandbar and my own employees, who are all veterans, and they all like the idea of just keeping it The Barracks. It speaks to former service members. So that's what we're gonna do."

"Fair enough. I think that sounds great. That also helps when looking for buyers, which shouldn't be that hard."

They exited the building, and on their way back to the real estate office, Margo said, "Are you up for lunch?"

Carley chuckled. "Oh my gosh, yes! I would absolutely love that. Actually, I'd like to buy."

Margo turned down Main Street and turned left on Sunset Beach Road. She parked her SUV and excitement ran through her at seeing Jace.

Jace glanced toward the front of the bar as he waited for Mason to mix his drinks. Margo and Carly entered the Sandbar and spoke to the hostess. She nodded her head and led them to a table in the corner. His smile was instantaneous. His heart beat a little faster, and he couldn't help but admire how beautiful she looked again today. It seemed to be the norm for her. No matter what she wore, she always looked elegant, refined, and incredibly sexy. Her eyes met his, and she waved. He strode toward her table, excited to chat with her. "Hello, ladies. What can I get you started with?"

Margo chuckled. "I'll take a raspberry iced tea."

Carley smiled. "Same, please."

"Coming right up." He hustled to the bar and hung their drink order on the order board for Mason, picked up the tray of drinks waiting for him to deliver to their thirsty customers, and hurried outside to deliver them. As soon as he re-entered the restaurant, he scrambled to the bar, picked up Margo and Carley's teas, and delivered them to their table.

"Here you go, ladies. Raspberry iced tea."

They smiled at him, and he found it difficult to look away from Margo's smile. Laughter from another table brought him around to the task at hand - lunch.

"We have smoked salmon salad on a bed of spinach for our lunch special today."

Carley responded immediately. "I'll take that, please."

He wrote her order down on his order slip. "We have Asian ginger or balsamic dressing."

"Oh, I'll take the Asian ginger, please."

He grinned. That was his favorite too. He turned his head to Margo and noticed her watching him. His heart skipped a beat. There was something about her.

She smiled sweetly. "I'll have the same, please."

"You got it." He wrote her order down and noticed her shiver. "Are you cold?"

"I think the air conditioning is blowing right on me here. Maybe we should go outside and eat."

Jace leaned in. "Just so you know, Sierra's out there, so maybe you would want to stay inside?"

Margo nodded and took a deep breath. "Thank you for the heads up and absolutely we will stay inside. It feels wonderful being cooled down."

He grinned and received a gorgeous smile in response.

Margo asked. "How did we get so lucky to have the owner also be our server?"
