Cori entered the bar right on time. She already knew what Brice looked like. He was there, but Logan wasn’t. She hesitated. Should she go up and introduce herself? Did Brice know she was coming along? If not, this was about to get awkward.

She lingered by the door not sure what to do. A waitress came over and asked, “Are you waiting for someone or can I get you a table?”

Cori knew what table she needed to be at. In a voice that was loud enough for Brice to hear, she answered, “I’m waiting for my friend, Logan.”

Sure enough, Brice turned in her direction. He gave her a once-over glance then got up from his seat and came toward her. “That wouldn’t be Logan Henderson you’re meeting, is it?”

She smiled. “It is. You must be his brother Brice.”

Brice didn’t acknowledge her outstretched hand. Instead, he said, “Seems you know me, so why don’t I know you?”

If Cori had any question about what Logan might have told Brice, she had her answer. Nothing. That meant she needed to scramble to pull something believable out and also not something that would be questioned later when or if Logan arrived.

“Sorry. Your brother asked me to meet him here after work for a beer. Guess he figured you wouldn’t mind me tagging along.” That wasn’t really any information at all. So whatever Logan decided to tell his brother, it would fit in nicely.

“Well, since Logan is late as usual, why don’t you come and let me buy you a drink, Miss . . .”

“Cordelia Sparks. And that would be lovely, thank you.” She followed him to his table and sat across from him. That meant she couldn’t see the door, but she had faith Logan would show. He better, otherwise, I’m going to go into my interview role, and I won’t be able to stop myself.

She wasn’t sure that was a bad idea anyway. Logan was giving her information, but Brice was the oldest. He probably knew James the best. Of course from what she’d learned, he also was the most reticent. It surprised her that he asked her to wait with him. Maybe he already knows who I am, and I’m the one who’s not up to speed.

Nothing surprised her when it came to the Hendersons. They were difficult people to understand one at a time, never mind trying to handle two of them at the same time. Logan pulled up the seat between her and Brice. Guess I’m about to find out.

“Sorry, I’m late.” Logan leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Cori didn’t expect that. From the look on Brice’s face, neither did he. She was willing to play along if it meant getting answers. Logan signaled the waitress and ordered his beer. She ordered an iced tea. Alcohol wasn’t going to be her friend right now. She needed all her wits to get through this little meeting.

Brice didn’t take his eyes off her as he asked Logan, “So why did you invite me on your date?”

Logan laughed.
