Lianne had no idea where Seth Sinclair had found the housekeeper. She lived nearby, was kind and personable, and an excellent cook. Most importantly, she made amazing noodles.
It's said even a hero can be stumped by a lack of coin, and for Lianne, a bowl of noodles was all it took to win her over.
In the early morning, Lianne sat at the dining table, scrolling through her group chats on her phone.
Hailey Shepherd was flying abroad today. Evan Caldwell's aunt and uncle had returned from overseas, so their plans for an island trip were on hold until early spring. Wyatt Warren and Maya Morgan's wedding was set for April, during the warm, blooming season.
Debbie, wearing an apron, was about forty—around the same age as Lianne's mother—and seemed exceptionally kind and gentle.
She brought a steaming bowl of beef noodle soup from the kitchen and placed it in front of Lianne, smiling. "I also steamed some soup dumplings. They'll be ready in a moment."
