“No way.”
“Way.”
“Are you going to do it?”
“I don’t know yet.”
“Well, you must be considering it. Otherwise you wouldn’t have told me.”
There was that.
“It’s not what I had planned,” she admitted. “But it could be interesting.”
“And it would have the advantage of letting you stay in Calypso Falls.” Jenna’s eyes danced. “Convenient, since Spence is so tied to the place.”
“He’s not the only factor in my decision, you know.”
“Of course not,” Jenna said. “But I have this feeling that his portion of the decision-making pie is getting bigger and bigger.”
Bree looked past Jenna into the crowd, where her gaze seemed automatically drawn to Spence. He had one hand in his pocket while the other pointed toward the town, and whatever he was saying had Fred nodding and laughing. It was a perfectly everyday, ordinary sight, yet it filled her with so much happiness that she couldn’t even pretend to not understand what Jenna was really hinting at.
“Yeah,” she agreed softly. “He’s most definitely a major factor.”
Jenna’s smile was pure satisfaction. “Well, the good news is you have another year to go. Plenty of time to figure out what you want to happen next. I predict that when the time is right, you’ll know exactly what you’re supposed to do.”
You will know what you need.
All her life, Bree had been the smart one. But there was a world of difference between being smart and being wise. Lucky for her, Neenee and her sisters were providing her with an excellent education in wisdom.
And also lucky for her, she was smart enough to learn from them.
And in proof that luck did indeed come in threes, it turned out that the things she couldn’t learn from books or her family were precisely the kinds of things that could be best discovered through experiments.
Kris Fletcher is the author of the Calypso Falls series, including Life of the Party and the novella The Bridesmaid and the Bachelor. She writes about small towns, big families, and love that grows despite them.
