could.  There were more mountains across the water in front of him but the town was in a valley fed by a deep ocean channel.  It kept the town protected from some of the harsher winter storms but still allowed the fishermen and women to easily get in and out with their boats during fishing season.  Fish were the primary source of income for the small town.  And although the channel gave the fishermen easy access to the rich ocean waters, that didn’t mean it was easy to get supplies to the town. 
    Saeger had brought in several cows, which were protected year round by a large warehouse.  The cows provided milk for the town’s residents while the enormous warehouse grew vegetables year round.  Tucker had developed and constructed a sort of windmill that generated heat, keeping the plants warm and also generated a sun-like light that helped the plants grow.  It had bothered both men that the parents had to pay ten dollars a gallon for milk and rarely had fresh fruit and vegetables for their kids, so the four of them had fixed that problem quickly.  That effort had spawned other ideas, and the whole enterprise was now self-sustaining.  The cows and greenhouse produced its own energy, and even earned a profit now, all of which was turned back over to the town to build additional infrastructure. 
    The wind turbines Tucker had invented were how all four of their mountain homes were heated as well.  Creek had to give it to Tucker, he knew how to invent something for just about every environment.  He found a problem and solved it with one of his inventions.  Once that problem was solved, he marketed the solution and made crazy profits. 
    Creek pressed a few buttons on his keyboard and several large monitors flashed to life.  He tried to focus on work issues, but in his mind, he was thinking about a lovely brunette with beautiful, blue eyes and soft, blushing cheeks. 
     
    Violet shivered as she thought of the night ahead of her.  He’d really asked her out?  She looked down at the box sitting on the shelf and smiled, wanting to jump up and down with her excitement.  He really had!  He’d driven all the way here, just to ask her out to dinner! 
    For a moment, she wondered what had happened to Boobie Barbie, but then banished the buxom blond from her mind.  Violet refused to let her insecurities eat away at her excitement for the upcoming evening. 
    “How many orders came in today?” she asked her stepfather, George. 
    George tossed a well-used napkin into the trashcan and started to reach for the computer. 
    “That’s okay!” Violet called out, seeing his still-greasy fingers reach for the computer keyboard.  “I’ll look it up.”  She shifted the keyboard towards her since George, obviously wasn’t going to get his butt off of the stool he’d pulled behind the counter earlier today. 
    Why had she agreed to give her stepfather a part time job? 
    Oh yeah, because she’d felt sorry for him!
    That pity was wearing thin.  He was supposed to be dusting during the day and doing odd jobs around the store when she was gone. She’d never put him in charge of just sitting in the store.  There was too much to do for a person to simply sit around.  When she was here, she’d asked him several times to help the guys in the back with the packing but somehow, every time she turned around, he was still sitting on that stool. 
    “Could you dust the shelves over in the wood corner?” she asked as politely as possible.  She didn’t want him anywhere near the glass items, knowing that he would more than likely break one or more of them. 
    George sighed heavily.  “Violet, don’t you have a date tonight?” he asked as he lumbered off of the stool.  She noticed that he didn’t head over to the closet with the cleaning supplies though.
    She was wary of mentioning her date to anyone, much less to George.  She didn’t know why, but she wanted to keep her date tonight a secret.  “I am meeting
