Chapter 10 Summary

Annie bursts into the café with a new theory about the ghost, but Jeanie quickly introduces her to the cat she’s named Casper. Though Jeanie quickly bonds with Casper, Norman feels less than enthusiastic about the new cat at the café, one of many problems he’s having with Jeanie’s leadership. Annie explains her theory that her professional nemesis and owner of the pub next to the café, Mac Sullivan, is trying to scare Jeanie off because he wants to expand his own business into the café. Jeanie writes this off immediately, clocking the romantic tension between Annie and Mac. Hazel arrives to warn Jeanie that the rowdy book club will be coming to the café tomorrow and wanting to know every detail about its new owner. Annie tells Jeanie about the farmer’s market in town where Dot always set up a booth on Sundays. Jeanie feels surprised that Norman hasn’t mentioned the market.

Chapter 11 Summary

Logan tries to distract himself from his thoughts of Jeanie as he works on the farm but ultimately decides a cup of coffee might be better. Logan realizes his mistake when he steps inside the café and sees the book club, who collectively start asking him why he is in town in the middle of the day.
