Tara and Bronwyn entered Lovatt's and were promptly greeted by a parrot. A low cat whistle expressing male interest rang out in the room. Tara laughed,<br/>"That is Pete the Pirate." she explained, pointing at the lovely blue and red bird. As if he knew what she was saying, the parrot bobbed his head and said, "Greetings, mate. Have some grrrrrrrrrrog."<br/><br/>Both of the women laughed but waved politely at him as they went to the back of the store.<br/><br/>"Back here is where all the bargains are." Tara explained.<br/><br/>The bargains weren't bargains like found at a thrift store but the good L.L. Bean and Land's End clothing lines were about 35% off according to the clearance rack sign.<br/><br/>"See, nice clothes" Tara pointed and Bronwyn went to outfit herself.<br/><br/><br/>After shopping, they put the clothes back in Bronwyn's room and then went out on the town for a while. With the activity going on at the guest house, Tara would sleep in the back office just in case she was needed.<br/><br/>With a wide yawn, Tara excused herself from Bronwyn's company, went back to the inn, and snuggled in the recliner in the back. when she woke up, morning was streaming in the window and Marie was handing her a note with instructions to call...<br/><br/>She wiped the sleep from her eyes.<br/><br/>Malachai.<br/><br/>She poured herself some coffee and pulled a brush through her hair and punched in the number,<br/><br/>"Hi, this is Tara."
