They all looked at each other as though they had never heard the word taxi before. “A taxicab?” I tried again. “I’m trying to get to a place called Rose Cottage. Do you know where that is?”
The man, tall and thin with pale blue eyes, looked as though a great puzzle had been solved. “Rose Cottage. Ah.” He nodded. The other two nodded as well.
There was silence. Me again? “Could you direct me to Rose Cottage? I have two suitcases outside. I was hoping to get a cab to take me there.”
The man scratched his head. “I could fetch me wheelbarrow.”
The woman behind the counter shook her head at him. “A wheelbarrow. Honestly. I can drive you around, love. It’s not far. Danny, you come and stand behind this counter, and if anyone wants to buy anything, you just write down what it is, or they can wait until I get back. I won’t be a minute.”
Was this woman actually going to leave her post to drive a complete stranger? “I don’t want to take you away from your work,” I stammered.
“Oh, it’s no trouble. And you’ve chosen a good time. We’re not very busy.”
Danny looked quite pleased to walk behind the counter and stand there very importantly. He began tidying up open packs of chocolate bars as though he owned the place.
“I’m Kathleen McGinnis,” said the woman who’d come from behind the cash desk. I warmed to her immediately, but I’d warm to anyone who was willing to drive me to my new home. “And you must be Quinn Callahan.”
I did a double take. “You knew I was coming?”
“I’ve been on the lookout for you.”

A Note from Nancy
Dear Reader,
Thank you for reading the Vampire Knitting Club series. I am so grateful for all the enthusiasm this series has received. I have plenty more stories about Lucy and her undead knitters planned for the future.
I hope you’ll consider leaving a review and please tell your friends who like cozy mysteries.

Your support is the wool that helps me knit up these yarns.
