Drew leaned forward. “You did? Then why does…”
Kat and Drew turned to see Mary and Muriel staring at them.
“Looks like you two need some alone time,” Muriel said with a toothy grin.
“Grandma, you should really learn the art of subtlety.”
“Subtlety gets you nowhere. Best to be direct and upfront about what you want. Don’t waste time.” Her face shadowed. “You don’t know how much time you have. Why waste it?”
Kat looked to Drew for an explanation, but he could only frown.
“How about you two go for a walk and I’ll clean up,” Mary suggested. “I’m sure you two have a lot to catch up on.”
Kat and Drew headed out and walked along in silence for a few minutes. Although they talked a lot when they were kids, there were times where they’d hike along park trails in silence, just enjoying nature and one another’s company.
His finger skimmed down the arm closest to him. “I want to show you something,” he said, he whispered into her ear.
“What?”
“The place where I want to build a home.” His teeth gleamed in the twilight.
Kat nodded. Inside, her stomach began to churn uncomfortably. So Drew and Parker were going to stay here? She loved them both, but seeing them together… Kat wasn’t so sure she wanted to know where they would live. Knowing Drew, it’d be a place Kat would hate to avoid.
Moving out of Springfield was starting to sound like a much better option.
