Fynn shot daggers at Jody. “That’s not fair.”

“I don’t think it’s fair the way you embarrassed Logan, so you can take his place whileyouwait onhim.”

“No.” Fynn’s voice dropped so low that Sophie could barely hear the exchange between the brothers.

“No?”

Sophie looked around at Ginny.

“Stay out of it,” Ginny warned her. “Let Jody deal with this. Come on; we left the grill unattended.”

She hesitated but was relieved when Fynn reluctantly tied the apron around his waist. As she went back into the kitchen, she protectively looked to watch Logan grab his jacket and leave.

Ginny sighed when she saw Logan leave, also. “I’ll be glad when they grow out of this stage.”

“How long did it take for Silas and Greer?”

Ginny picked up the ticket that Logan had put down. “I think their late twenties.” Ginny saw the concern on her face. “Don’t worry; Fynn is going through a stage. I don’t think it will take him and Logan that long to become friends.”

Sophie wasn’t so sure.

“The problem is both of them have had a crush on the same girl since they were little kids.”

“Ouch.”

“Yes. Eventually, they’ll work it out. She’ll chose one of them, or one of the boys will fall for another girl.”

“So, all that was over a girl?”

Ginny turned away to drop fries in the fry basket. “Both of the boys are very gifted. There may be a power struggle going on between them as well. Luckily, Silas and Dustin, Logan’s father, are aware of the situation and try to keep the boys apart.”

“Until something like today happens,” Sophie finished for her.

“Yes. When that happens, Jody and Greer step in.”

“What do they do?”

“Greer takes Logan fishing.”

“What does Jody do?”

Ginny’s lips turned into a mischievous smile. “Brings him back down to earth.”

Chapter Twenty

Sophie carried the bags of clothes she had bought at the thrift store across the street from the diner. Ginny had suggested the store when she explained the purple sweatpants Jody had dropped off for her from Walmart before going to the diner to get her out of Ginny’s jeans.

Ginny grinned when she saw her walk back into the diner. “I see you had a successful shopping trip.”

“That’s one of the best thrift stores I have ever been inside of.” Sophie told her, stuffing the bags under the counter except for one, which she placed on the counter. “I met a woman named Lily. She was so stinking beautiful I would hate her if she weren’t so nice.”

Ginny laughed. “I know. It sucks when they’re nice.”

“Girl, I’m allowed to complain; you’re not.” Sophie rolled her eyes. “You don’t look as if a train ran over you then backed up to hit you again.”

Ginny shook her head. “You’re very pretty.”

“Maybe in another universe,” Sophie scoffed, fiddling with her messy bun. “I need to get my hair done. These glasses needto go, too. Thanks to Baylin, I’m out of contacts. My prescription is out, and to get it redone, I need to go to the eye doctor.”
