Chapter Six

“I need more slaw!”

Sonny’s voice rang out over the din of carnival noises bombarding her at every turn.

“Here it is,” Kiera said, placing a huge bowl of the cabbage and carrot slaw with chipotle-lime dressing in front of her. The line outside of Kiera’s Kickin’ Kajun food truck had been at least twenty people deep for the past two hours, and everybody wanted the fish tacos with the special slaw. She and Kiera endured another half hour of non-stop customers before the line finally tapered off.

Sonny slumped against the stainless steel counter, thoroughly exhausted. “Am I delusional, or has every resident in Maplesville been to this truck twice already?” She blew out a breath. “I thought that line would never end.”

“Welcome to the madness,” Kiera said. “At least I have the truck now, which makes it a lot easier than carting everything in and out of a booth like I did before I had a mobile kitchen. Talk about a nightmare.”

“So that amount of customers is normal?”

“Oh, yeah. St. Michael’s Church Fair brings in people from all over the north shore, so we’re feeding way more than just Maplesville’s residents.” She added more thinly sliced cabbage to the bowl and gave it another toss in the dressing. “We prepped as much as possible, but you can never fully prepare. And with this beautiful weather, the crowds will only grow.

“By the way, thanks for helping out today,” Kiera added. “I know this isn’t part of your job description, but Macy and I got our wires crossed. She’ll be here around five to relieve you, hopefully sooner.”

“It’s no problem,” Sonny said. She peered out of the Plexiglas window. “I never considered myself a church fair kind of girl, but to be honest, I’m having fun. I have to ride that Ferris wheel before the day is out. I haven’t ridden one in ages.”

“St. Michael’s Fair is always a blast,” Kiera said. “I don’t care how busy we are at the food truck, when the kids’ fashion show starts you have to go to the big tent. It is the most adorable thing you will see in your entire life.”

Sonny thought the entire event was the most adorable thing she’d ever seen. It was everything she’d imagined a small town church fair to be, except on a much larger scale than she’d anticipated. There had to be at least two thousand people here.

Connected booths formed the perimeter of the church grounds, with games on one side and food booths on the other. Kiera usually offered a variety of items on her food truck, but this weekend they were only selling fish tacos and crawfish etouffee-stuffed egg rolls, so that the church could sell the other traditional Louisiana favorites like jambalaya, red beans and rice, and beignets.

“Hi Sonny,” Tamyra Crane, who Sonny met last week while checking out the petite woman’s yoga studio, waved as she walked past the truck. “Hope I see you at a class next week.”

Sonny returned the wave. “I’ll try to get there,” she called out from the truck’s window.
