A smile played on Jackies lips as she watched Grant and Emma scamper at the waters edge. She let out a deep, gratifying sigh.
How is the business, sweetie? her mother asked.
Jackie stretched out her right leg, extending her toes beyond the circle of shade created by the huge red and blue umbrella her father had erected over their trio of beach chairs.
Its going really well, she smiled. Blake and I are working on sprucing up the place a bit, you know, painting and that. And the remote cabins are very popular. We get lots of repeat business.
But youve closed down for six weeks? her father asked.
Yes, and no. Jackie frowned slightly. We have a guest who has rented out the whole place for six weeks. Paid three times what we would have taken in, had the entire place been booked for the same time.
One guest? Jim asked.
Jackie nodded. Yep.
Ann shook her head. But thats just well, who on earth would do that?
