Chapter 1

The bakery was on the corner of 7th and 9th. Elena had worked past the bakery everyday when growing up and she always knew that one day her name would be above the door. A year ago she finally signed the deed and turned the bakery into a diner which of course they sold all the essential , just with some of flare. The bakery had became her second home, most night's she would stay late preparing the following days orders, if she wasnt baking she was reading and well it was mostly cookery books. The bakery had a small number of staff in which she called her family. Geoffery her bread maker was from England and came to this small town to escape the big city of London, though he loved his home town, nothing compared to a small town which everybody know's each other and their business. Jenna her business partner and also older sister ran the day to day working of the diner and the finance. Bonnie her assistant was a little bit quirky but got the jobs done and there was Frank he came with the bakery really, he's a jack of all trades. Elena was the youngest of four, the oldest was Jenna who was married to Ric for ten year's and together they had Emily and Rosie aged nine and five they lived across the street from their mom and dad. Jeremy her brother was a junior police officer following in his dad's footsteps her had been dating Lucy for nine months then there was Kathrine she was more the trouble child gone cheerleader then college barbie and was due home for her recent business trip from Paris. However this morning nothing seemed to be going right for Elena, her alarm went of late, her water stopped working mid shower she had to rinse her hair in the sink and for some reason her car wouldn't so arriving at work in your father sheriff car wasn't the hight of the day.

" Good morning sleepy head" Jenna was serving coffee to the regulars.

" Haha, im only ready running late, and i've got to finish the Mrs Anderson's retirement cake, this day couldn't get any worse." Elena putted on her apron on and headed to the kitchen.

Damon had woken early that morning his flight was at 12:00 and he still needed to stop by the office before heading to JFK for his flight. As he crossed the busy streets of Manhattan he found himself outside his favourite coffee shop, he went in and ordered and cinnamon roll and black coffee to go. He hadn't been in the city long four year's and sometimes he found himself staring at the city landmarks ad if he'd just seen them for the first time. Damon took the elevator to work though as much as he enjoyed taking the thirteen flights of stairs he was in a hurry this morning. He entered his office to find his assistant Laura eating her breakfast at her desk. He gave a brisk knod and went in to his office. The night before he had been running late for dinner, and there was the papers in the brown envelope sitting exactly where had left them. He knew if he switched on his computer he knew there would be plently of emails anxiously waiting for a reply. Jake picked up the phone and dialled.

" Hey it's me" Damon walked around his desk talking to his collegue Mark on the next floor.

" Shouldn't you be on a plane by now?"

" Yes, on my way would mind sending the details of my flight to my blackberry"

" Where you heading anyway? Not like you to take a vacation"

" Going home for a couple of days got some unfinished business to attend to"

" Oh that bad uh? well send us a postcard"

" Yeah, see you man" He hung up the phone.

Damon looked at his watch it was 11:15, he grabbed his coat and suitcase and headed to the door. He left his hotel details with Laura incase of emergancy. Damon hadn't lived in New York long infact for the first two year's he hadn't seen the outside of his office walls. He worked at large editing and pulishing house and found that not only was he good at it but he enjoyed it. He reached his gate just in time as the flight attendent showed him to seat the captain announced he was ready for take off. Though as much as Damon hated to admit he hated to fly. Within three hour's his plane had landed and he found himself in a small city airport. He collect his lugguage and headed towards the rental bay. The drive home was a hour's drive he pulled up along side the bakery. The door opened with a ching of a bell he sat the counter.
