Fuck. I don’t even know how to find someone new. Should I run an ad in the paper?
Emilia said she’s going to send you the info to run an ad in the Rosewood River Review. And I can ask Brenner to do the interviews for you if you want. He’s great at screening people and finding the right fit for the right position.
Axel
That would be great. I’m buried at work, and I don’t have time to hire anyone.
Easton
You aren’t trying to get out of pickleball, are you? Because we have playoffs next week. Let’s meet at the club for a few practices before.
Rafe
Speaking of the club, I was there yesterday with Lulu and we saw Wren Waterstone there. Apparently she’s moved back to town. Did you know about that Axel?
Wren and Axelhad been best friends since they were little kids. They’d been inseparable for as long as I could remember. They’d had some sort of fallout after her brother had cheated on Emerson, and he wouldn’t talk about it with any of us.
Axel
I haven’t spoken to her in a very long time.
Easton
Dude, she was your best friend. Was the fallout over her brother being a dickhead?
Axel
Not something I want to get into. Next question.
Easton
Was her asshole brother with her?
Rafe
No. She was there with her mother.
Clark
Are you going to be okay seeing her after all this time, Axel?
Axel
It’s fine. Sometimes friendships end. It’s part of life.
When did you get so cynical?
Archer
Ever since Wren Waterstone left town.
I don’t know if there’s any truth to it, but word in the business world is that her dad is in some serious financial trouble. Maybe that’s why she’s back.
Easton
Really? They’ve got more money than they know what to do with, so that would be an awfully big fall.
