Chapter 349

• Before brunch was over Catherine responded with a yes for pizza dinner, she'd pay, and an invite to let the ladies sleep at her place until they got their services running. He sent her a thank you.
• "OK, we have dinner plans tonight at Catherine's place. I hope you like pizza!" Ben smiled at the teens and they grinned with powdered sugar from their pancakes on their faces. Ben turned to Ashley. You also have a warm place to stay tonight with running water. Catherine will put you up until your husband arrives to resolve these issues. Her two oldest daughters are staying at the University so their rooms are available."

I think you'll like them." Ashley pursed her lips together to stop her tears then smiled broadly at Ben. "That's better!" he smiled.
