“I sooo needed this,” Carrow said. She was seated cross-legged on her towel, digging through her picnic basket. She pulled out one item after another until Evangeline wondered if a dozen other people would be joining them.

“How much did you bring?” Evangeline asked, eyes widening with each new arrival.

Waving her off, Carrow set the basket aside. “They’re just individually wrapped. We have brownies, blondies, chocolate chip cookies, and macadamia nut.”

Evangeline felt her mouth slowly slide open. At her count, there were at least half a dozen of each type of treat.

“So, Curly Sue, tell me about your hot date with Shane,” Carrow said around a mouthful of blondie. She pointed to the spread, indicating Evangeline needed to dig in.

Choosing a brownie, she unwrapped the clingy wrap crap and then took a bite. The chocolate treat melted in her mouth, and she let out an appreciative groan. “This is delicious.”

“I know. I’m an amazing baker. Now, your date?”

Frowning, Evangeline wiped crumbs from the corner of her mouth. “How did you know I went out with Shane? I don’t remember telling you.”

“You’re kidding, right? The whole town knows.”

The bite Evangeline had just taken lodged in her throat with her gasp. Slapping herself on the chest, she hacked and wheezed past the chunk of chocolate. “What?” she demanded once she caught her breath.

“Oh, yeah, it’s big news,” Carrow said, casually reaching into her basket and pulling out a water bottle. Offering it, she added, “You live in a small town now, girl. Gossip is our stock and trade.”

Evangeline gulped the water. Once she was certain choking wasn’t in her immediate future, she said, “That’s alarming. Don’t you people have anything better to do?”

“No.” Carrow’s brows bobbed up and down. “Wait until you sleep with him.”

Laughter brayed from Evangeline’s mouth like a kicked donkey. Pointing her finger at her friend, she ordered, “Enough.”

“You’re no fun.” Carrow stretched out on her towel. “But seriously, how was your date?”

Following suit, Evangeline smoothed her towel and lay back. “It was nice.”

Several beats passed. Carrow’s head turned, and Evangeline could feel the glare. “Nice. That’s it? That’s all you’re going to tell me?”

Turning onto her side with a laugh, she said, “It was a lot of fun. Until Freya—that blonde heifer at the library? The one I had to go to the basement for—she came squawking by. I don’t know what her problem is, but I want to set her hair on fire.”

“Well, you know she and Shane dated in high school, right?”

“That frigid witch? Please tell me you’re kidding.” Evangeline rolled over with a grunt of disgust.

“Yep. They were a couple of years ahead of me, so it’s not like we were besties, but rumor had it that he was heartbroken when she dumped him.”

“She dumped him? Ugh, this just keeps getting better. Now I have to question his taste in women.”

Carrow snorted. “Eh, she wasn’t always so nasty, so I wouldn’t hold youthful stupidity against him. He’s a guy—it’s kind of a given. Besides, he seems pretty into you, yeah?”

A smile played at Evangeline’s lips.
