  Evidently finding no humor in the remark, it was Frances’ turn to stare blankly.

  “So, a book launch party,” Joy prompted. “How can I help?”

  “We need a caterer for the event, and we want you.” Frances smiled eagerly as if the invitation were a great honor.

  “Okay," Joy agreed. "What kind of goodies are you looking for?”

  “It’s what Minnie’s looking for that matters,” Frances forged on, not losing focus.

  “Right.”

  “She’ll be by to see you tomorrow and discuss it." Frances couldn't help jumping up and down. "That’s why I had to get the news to you tonight. Isn't this great?”

  Joy found it in her heart to be glad she’d received a little warning in advance though her scone or cobbler preparations had been delayed. “Well, thank you for … taking the time to stop by. I look forward to meeting her tomorrow then.”

  Frances’ face glowed with enthusiasm. “Oh, thank you.”

  “It’s my job,” Joy responded.

  Frances’ eyes widened. “But, it’s not just a job. This is something special. It's quite an honor you know.”

  A moment later, Frances was gone. Joy's mind was already in far off places as she continued to dwell on the author’s pending arrival. It was sure to be a dramatic one if Frances' visit was any indicator.

  Joy shut the door and went back to the kitchen, having decided while Frances was talking that she wanted cobbler tonight. Perhaps she would bring some to Sara Beth, her assistant at the bakery tomorrow. They would definitely need the fuel for their upcoming catering gig.
