I went to the end of the aisle and grabbed two wicker baskets. When I returned, she already had her hands full of tomatoes. She carefully placed them into the basket I handed her and hung it from her arm, stepping up on her toes to pay the vendor.

I giggled. “You always loved tomatoes.”

“They're one of my favorites. I could eat a tomato with every meal.”

“Should we get more than five?”

She hummed thoughtfully before shaking her head. “No, I should leave room for other things.”

“Very well.”

We strolled down the first aisle, stopping every so often to examine the produce on display.

As she reached for a red pepper, she sighed. She held it up to look it over. “This one looks good.”

“You don't seem happy about it.”

“It's not the vegetable bugging me.”

I raised a curious brow. “So, what is bugging you?”

“I need to come clean with you, Clara.”

“About what?”

“Levon.”

I stiffened. “He's been a pretty popular topic recently.”

“Well, he is back in town. Of course, he's a hot topic.”

“So, dish it out.”

She shrugged while grabbing a green pepper. “I had lunch with him earlier last week. I wasn't going to tell you because you always do that weird thing.”

“What weird thing?”

“That face—it's like disappointment but worse.”

I tried not to frown. It was hard not being disappointed in my sister. I mean, she saw my ex behind my back. I was mildly irritated. “I'm curious,” I whispered. “Why would you go see Levon?”

“Well, he kept insisting on having lunch to catch up. We ended up talking about you a whole bunch.”

I sighed. “I guess I'm a hot topic, too.”

“Why would you say that?”

“Because Levon and Gabe argued about me at Ryan's bachelor party.”

She gasped. “No way!”

“Yeah, it was something. What did you two talk about?”

“He wanted to get caught up on everything happening in your life lately.”

A warm sensation trickled into my chest. I rested my hand over my heart, pretending to stifle a sneeze instead of a sweet reaction. “That's interesting.”

“He's clearly still interested in you. I don't think he would want to do all that if he wasn't.”
