Art of Seduction Chapter 4/?
**Disclaimers and all information in part 1**
A/N: This will probably be the only chapter that takes place during the middle of the day. The plan right now is for the next chapter to be Mac getting ready to meet Harm at the opening. Of course that could change if my muse attacks. (Since she seems to be armed with a baseball bat, I have to listen.)
**Beach behind the Burnett house Early Friday Afternoon**
My mother is up to something. I know she's up to something. I just don't know what. I got back from running this morning to find her making vegetable omelets for breakfast. She's not much on omelets but knows they're my favorite. We had breakfast on the deck and chatted during which my mom did three very strange things.
The first strange thing is that she wasn't in a hurry to get to the gallery and she wasn't on the phone once in the hour and half that we were on the deck. She usually has a million and one things to do the day of an opening. She told me she left the plan that she and Kelsay developed with her assistant and is trusting her to make sure everything is ready to go.
The second strange thing is she's spending the day at her favorite spa, not that my mom doesn't spend time at spas. It's just really strange for her to spend the day of an opening at a spa. Mac says I'm a control freak. She's right of course except for the fact she thinks it comes from being a pilot. It doesn't. It comes from growing up in this house. My mom is a control freak. She usually controls everything that goes on at the gallery right down to the last detail. So while it's strange for her to not be in contact with the gallery once in an hour and a half, it's really strange for her to not be spending any time at the gallery prior to an opening.
The third strange thing is every time I ask if she's planning on trying to set me up with somebody she knows around here she tells me no. My mother is always trying to fix me up with some woman she knows. This time I get, "Harm, I promise I'm not trying to set you up with any of the woman I know out here." I thought for sure it would be really bad this time since she gave up on trying to convince me that Mac is in love with me. That's the other thing. She hasn't mentioned Mac once. I thought for sure that she'd take another shot at trying to convince me that Mac is in love with me.
Well since I can't do anything about whatever it is my mother is planning I guess I'll go for a swim and then have a nap before we have to head out to this party tonight.
