Page 62 of Crashing into Love

“What do you want? I’ll just make that and have that,” Selma stated.

“No, you’ll make whatever you want,” Drew insisted, picking her coffee cup up off the table and walking into the tunnel-style kitchen. “How does Gia like her eggs?”

“Scrambled.”

“And how do you like yours?”

“Over-easy.”

“How often do you make scrambled eggs at home and just eat those?”

Selma laughed and said, “All the time.”

“So, make over-easy eggs, Selma.”

“Do you like them over-easy?”

“Yes, I do. If I were making them for myself right now, that’s what I’d eat.”

“Are you just saying that to get me to make them that way?”

Drew shook her head before she took a sip of her coffee.

“What do you want to do today?” she asked.

“Whatever. I assume you want to get on a board at some point,” Selma replied and went about making them breakfast.

“I was actually thinking about not doing that.”

“Huh?”

“I don’t know… We board all the time. This is supposed to be us hanging out and you taking some time off. If you want to, we can, but I’m good with skipping it today.”

“Are you sure? I don’t want you to miss anything because I’m here.”

“I’m sure. I was actually going to see if someone could come to lunch with us, if you’re interested.”

“Someone?” Selma asked as she cracked an egg into a hot pan.

“It’s a friend of a friend,” Drew said and sat down at the table with her coffee. “She’s technically Andy’s older sister, if I’m being honest.”

“Andy?” Selma turned her head, and her hand with the second egg in it moved just as she’d been about to drop it into the pan, making half the egg miss the target. “Shit. Sorry.”

“You said, ‘Shit,’” Drew teased, thinking about Gia.

“Shut up.” Selma laughed before she cracked a new egg into the pan and started cleaning up the egg that had missed. “I didn’t know you still talked to Andy. I mean, I guess you have to because she’s–”

“We text occasionally, but nothing major. I did ask her if it was okay for me to reach out to her sister, though, and she said it was fine.”

“Were you two friends or something?”

“To me, she was just my girlfriend’s sister more than anything, but she is several years older than Andy, and she has a son.”

“Okay?”

“A son that’s kind of like Gia.”

Selma looked at her again.
