“Um, I’m not even sure what one would look like. But I’m sure Jane would know.”
I smile. “I’ll ask her when I see her.”
“Should I plan on making a pie to go with homemade ice cream?”
Damn she is good. No wonder she was a lawyer. It was becoming clearer every minute spent with her why Kenny had fallen for her so quickly.
“Nah, I told Samantha I’d help her make some for the fair.”
A wide smile appears on Aubrey’s face and her eyes are sparkling with joy. “I knew I shouldn’t have mentioned it,” I mutter.
She raises her hands in surrender. “I’ll behave, I promise.”
I shake my head as I make my way to the door. “Bye, Aubrey. Thanks for lunch.”
“Bye, Cam,” Aubrey calls, a smile evident in her voice.
I can hear her laughing as I step out the door and smile to myself. This must be what it's like to have a sister. I have a feeling Aubrey is going to enjoy giving me a hard time way too much.
I walk out to the barn to gather some tools and run into Kenny.
"Hey man, what have you been up to?"
"I had to run to town to pick up something for Aunt Jane. Got back a little while ago. Stopped in the house to let her know I was back, and Aubrey insisted on feeding me."
Kenny laughs and adjusts the ball cap he's wearing. "That's my girl, always taking care of someone."
I scoff but grin. "Your girl was giving me a hard time."
"I hope you gave it back to her. Aubrey loves to spar. Ask Craig, she's been giving him a hard time since day one."
"I didn't, but now that I have permission you can bet I will."
This time he laughs even harder. "Trust me she can take it." Kenny shuffles his feet. "So let me guess, she questioned you about Samantha?"
"Yeah," I reply sheepishly.
Kenny claps me on the shoulder. "Take it as a compliment, Cam. In the short time she's known you, Aubrey has deemed you worthy to date her best friend."
"No pressure there," I mutter to myself.
“Nah, just take it slow and you’ll be fine.”
I’m taken aback by his statement, “You know, you’re the second person to warn me to take it easy with Samantha. Is there something I need to know?”
Kenny shakes his head. “As Momma likes to say, not my story to tell. Samantha will fill you in, in time.”
I nod. “I guess I’ll have to wait and see then.”
Kenny shoves his hands in his pockets. “Well, I better get back to work.”
“Yeah, I’m going to see if I can give Uncle Ken a hand on that old tractor he’s been tinkering around with.”
Kenny grins. “I'm not sure there's much wrong with it. I think he uses it as an excuse to get out of the house.”
I chuckle, “Good to know.”
"Okay, I'll see you later," Kenny says as he heads out to check on the fields.
