Bonnie

The next morning, Traviswas on the phone when I woke up. He was speaking softly, but I could still hear him through the open door.

"Sure, Gran. Do you need me to bring anything else by? How do you even know Bonnie is here?"

I sat up straight in bed when I heard my name, listening even more intently than before.

"Right," Travis said slowly. "Okay. I'll ask her if she wants to come, and I'll see you in an hour, max."

I heard footsteps approaching and stifled a yawn as he came into the room.

"You're up," he said. "Did I wake you while I was on the phone?"

"I wasn't sleeping that deeply anymore. From what I heard, that was your grandmother?"

He grinned. “Eavesdropping?”

"I heard my name mentioned."

"She asked me to stop by to check on her generator. A few light bulbs went out. There was a storm last night.”

“Oh no. Was it a strong one?”

"Not at all. Gran's just looking for an excuse for us both to stop by. I’ll tell her you need to rest."

“Travis, you’re blowing this out of proportion," I huffed. "The doctor didn’t order bed rest, just that I should take things easy. I’ll come with you.”

“Are you sure?

“Yes.”

“Okay, I’ll let her know.”

“Can you give me tips?”

"Gran is a good sport, don't worry. But I do try not to cross her. And not showing up at her place with you when she specifically asked me to definitely falls into that category."

I laughed. "Well, well, Travis Maxwell doesn’t want to cross his own grandmother."

"I like being in her good graces. Life is so much better."

I dressed as fast as I could, excited to meet Beatrice Maxwell. Travis filled me in on things as I got ready.

Twenty minutes later, we were in his car and on our way. She lived in one of the most beautiful residential areas in the city. I kept looking out the window as we passed the houses. They weren't huge mansions—they were cute and cozy.
