“I told Grandmaseveral timesthat I wasn’t the right person for this job. I’m swamped. Jessa would’ve been better at chauffeuring her around. They could exchange beauty tips or whatever. We have nothing to talk about.”
“You’ll talk about the farm,” he states matter-of-factly. “Plus, your grandmother isneverwrong. She picked you for a reason.” Grandpa shoots me a wink just as the phone rings. He goes to answer it, and I take the opportunity to step outside for some fresh air.
My phone vibrates in my pocket, and I pull it out to see a text from my best friend.
Levi
I’ll make it to the celebration, so save me some of your mom’s apple pie!
Of course that’s all he’d be excited for.
Finn
Great. Mom will be happy to see you.
Levi
If you need any help getting anything together, let me know. I have some free time next week.
Finn
Appreciate that, man.
Levi
So how are things going with the painter?
I told Levi earlier I had to drive to the airport to pick her up, and I’ve been dreading doing it all week with my already busy schedule.
Finn
Don’t even ask.
Levi
That bad, huh?
Finn
Yes. She talks a lot and dresses like a hippie. I’m surprised she doesn’t go by the name Sunflower or some shit.
Levi sends me a laughing emoji.
Levi
Is she pretty?
I roll my eyes because I’m not even surprised he’d ask that.
Finn
Yeah, I guess. If weird clothing and makeup are your type.
Levi
Sounds to me like you already have a crush.
Finn
