go meet them?”
    “Where are they?”
    “At their house, I guess. You need to get over there.”
    “Didn’t they get my note?”
    “They didn’t say. Just get over there and don’t do anything to mess up this deal.”
    With a sinking feeling, Honey glanced at the hostile expressions of both Van Williams and his secretary and sighed. “I’m on my way.” She hung up and backed toward the door. “I have to go now. I apologize for wasting your time. It was nice meeting you.”
    “Wait just a minute. What about the property being sold?”
    “Apparently I don’t have all the information I need at this time. I’m terribly sorry to have bothered you.”
    Skepticism on his face, Van assured, “We’ll sue if anyone tries to mess with our lease.”
    “Ah, yes, well.” Honey managed to get the door open. “Sorry.” She waved at the two men and headed to her car hoping she hadn’t tainted the deal.

    Back at the house, there were still no cars in the driveway. Honey hurried to the door, knocked, but no one answered. After a moment, she flipped up the mat, retrieved the key she’d replaced the night before, and cautiously let herself in. “Hello?”
    Again, there was no response. Impatient, Honey snapped open her cell phone and called Nick to see if he knew where the clients were hiding. His voicemail picked up and she ground her teeth. Unbelievable. She was starting to feel like the invisible woman. She dialed the office.
    “Hello?”
    Honey was thrilled to hear her coworker Robert’s voice rather than Michelle’s on the other end of the line. “Robert? Hi, it’s Honey. How are you doing today?”
    “Good. I’m doing well.” Robert’s voice was deep, slow and easygoing, perfectly matching the older gentleman. “I just sold the Holstein place to a young couple with two kids.”
    Honey’s mouth fell open. Robert hadn’t had a sale in a long while and she knew how important this was to him. “That’s great! I love that house. It’s perfect for a young family. I bet the Holsteins are thrilled, too. Congratulations.”
    “Yeah, thanks.”
    “Is Nick there, by any chance?”
    “No, he’s not. He’s gone out to show a home. Is there anything I can help you with?”
    Honey sighed. “No. I’m just waiting around for some clients. I thought Nick might know where they are.”
    “Waiting’s the worst.”
    Honey thought about the fact that, not counting the guy in the doorway in the early a.m., she hadn’t even met any clients in the entire time she’d been there. “You are so right.”
    After hanging up, she ate her lunch and, since she still had an hour before class resumed, decided to get some work done. She read the contract she was there to get signed and it all seemed very straightforward.
    She thought about calling some current clients in Napa, or maybe some referrals, but since she was hopeful of meeting actual human beings before her lunch break ended, didn’t want to be tied up on the phone. Instead she got out her laptop and scanned for new listings.
    She had a hard time concentrating. The entire situation was incredibly frustrating. Twenty minutes later she gave up, packed the laptop, gathered her purse and glanced through the front window as she headed for the door.
    Three boys walked along the side of her car. Maybe the Barons were back!
    Without thinking, she dropped her things on the couch, flew out the front door, down the front stairs, and around the side of the cabin. The three boys were pulling fishing poles from against the side of the house. No car or adults were around. “Hi.”
    All three boys jumped, one yelled, and they all looked so guilty that Honey’s brows rose and she had to ask, “What are you doing?”
    Two of the boys looked at the third, a thin boy with dark brown hair and a defensive look in his green eyes. “Nothing. We’re just picking up our fishing poles. They’re ours.”
    “Oh. Great. Do you live here? I’m Honey Stevens. I’ve been waiting
