Book Excerpt
Wednesday morning
Lorraine’s Kitchen, Mirror Estate
Connor
As usual, Connor Murray went downstairs to the restaurant to help his wife,
Lorraine, set up for the day bright and early. Lorraine’s Kitchen didn’t open until
10:00 a.m., but they needed to do a lot of prep work first. He’d made sure Sean,
their ten-year-old son, was up and ready for school before heading downstairs.
His family, along with his in-laws, Max and Kate Warner, all lived in the quarters
above the restaurant, a perk of being part of the Marino household. Of course,
they weren’t related to the Marinos, but Max had been with the family for
decades as the majordomo. Max’s father had also been the Marinos’ head butler.
“Morning, Connor.” Kate joined them in the kitchen. Max had likely gone over
to the main house to start his day. Kate always helped out, either in the kitchen or
out front.
“Morning, Kate.” Connor flashed her a smile as he began chopping
vegetables while Lorraine bustled around, organizing the ingredients and
ensuring everything was in its place.
“Here, Sean, your lunch.” Lorraine held out his lunch pack.
