to pick him up.  She wasn’t due until 9:00 so he had a full hour to waste.  He clicked on Ella’s Facebook page and read more about her.  She liked gardening.  He viewed photographs of her Petunias and Zinnias and Cabbage Roses. Those were her favorite, Cabbage Roses.  She also loved Russian Sage. The blue-violet flowering shrub was thriving in her garden.  He thought she might be religious, or somewhat spiritual.  He noticed artifacts in her garden indicating that.
    The odd thing about her Facebook page was that her significant other, Bob, was in most of the photographs with her, but they were never touching. In fact, if he hadn’t read the description beneath the photo, he never would’ve guessed the guy was with her. There were a lot of photos of Bob, but in most he was golfing or with a group of guys.  He saw a sign that said General Technology in the background and thought Bob looked like a sales-type. There were pictures of him with groups of men in suits in places like Hong Kong and Germany. Something just seemed off.
    She had some music linked to her page and he listened to it. Surprisingly, she liked most of the same music he did. He scrolled through her favorite artists and knew the words to every song.  Then he sorted through the movies she had listed as favorites.  Ironically, they were the very same movies he liked.  Coincidence?  He was beginning to get a strange feeling of Déjà vu.
    One other thing that was evident on Ella’s Facebook page: she had lost her dog, Maverick, not long ago and was searching for a puppy. The dog that died was a black and white beagle mix and she had a special Facebook photo album dedicated to Maverick.  He noticed posts from friends offering Ella other dogs, but every time her response was:  Not yet .  Ray realized Ella was not just missing her father, she was also missing her best friend, Maverick. 
    Ella’s green Honda CR-V pulled in front of the bed and breakfast early and he jumped to his feet.  As she got out of the vehicle and approached him, she took his breath away.  He thought she was beautiful in the photographs, but seeing her in person was mind-blowing .  He suddenly felt as awkward and tongue-tied as a 14 year old teenager.

    Ella smiled politely and extended her hand to Ray.  When his dark blue eyes met hers, she felt herself blush slightly.  He was a stranger, after all.  She was a little nervous but forged ahead.  When her eyes connected to his she noted they were the most unique color of blue she had ever seen.  And his skin had an olive tone.  Italian.  She imagined he got a tan standing outside for five minutes.  She sized him up in a matter of seconds.  He was about six feet tall and probably weighed close to 200, muscular athletic build. 
    “Great to meet you face-to-face…” she managed.
    “Yes, the pleasure is all mine.” Ray said unexpectedly.
    “Hop in.” she opened the passenger side door and he slid into the seat.  She smiled at him as he fumbled with the seatbelt.  He smelled wonderful.  She had no idea what fragrance he wore or if it was the soap he used, but he smelled so good it distracted her a little.
    “Hungry?” she asked, shooting him a sidelong glance as she got into the driver’s seat.
    “Yes, a little.” He grinned.
    Ella felt him observing her as she drove.  She regarded him with a somber curiosity.  He wasn’t staring but once he touched her hand by accident as she rested it on the console.
    “Excuse me,” he apologized and his dark eyes met hers.
    “That’s okay, Ray.” She smiled. “No worries.”
    There was a line at the breakfast diner, as usual. They waited for ten minutes before a table was available.  Ella felt like it was the longest ten minutes of her life.  She dreaded talking about her father’s estate.  She still could barely speak of her dad without crying.  She was afraid to have this stranger watch her fall apart.  Taking a deep breath, Ella slid
