“It’s amazing how much I love tzatziki sauce considering the fact that I hate cucumbers,” I say as I drag a piece of pita bread along my plate to soak up the last bits of sauce.

“You hate cucumbers? Didn’t I see you eat a pickle while you were snowed in with us?” Adam asks as he spoons a little more salad onto his plate. Carter is quiet and focused on his falafel wrap.

“Yeah, pickles are delicious,” I say like it’s the most obvious thing in the world. Because it is the most obvious thing in the world.

“How can you hate cucumbers and love pickles? They’re the same food.”

“I know plenty of people that hate raisins and love grapes,” I counter.

Adam slouches in his barstool, and I smile. I think I won this round.

“So, when are we going to start my cooking lessons?” I ask Adam who is now mindlessly poking at his salad with a fork. Man, did I just break his spirit?

“Want to aim for this weekend? The bakery’s closed on Sunday.”

“Sunday sounds perfect.”

“Unless I see you before then,” he says, jerking his head over at Carter, who seems to be oblivious to us.

I raise a questioning eyebrow at Adam and he only shrugs.

“I wish I had thought to invite Rach,” I say, hoping to bring Carter out of his shell. “I saw the word ‘falafel’ and forgot about everything else.”

“Remind me never to put my life in your hands,” Adam mumbles. I whip my head to glare at him. He grins back. Bastard.

“She’s busy,” Carter says. “Some freelance gig just came up.”

At six o’clock on a Wednesday? I don’t voice that concern aloud but that is beyond suspicious, even for someone like Rachel who is completely loyal to Carter. Of course, Rachel is dedicated to finding a job, and I know her bank account is getting thin. She’s a little desperate right now; beggars can’t be choosers. Right?

I turn back to Adam who only shrugs again. I know he thinks that Rachel is up to something. I also know that he knows better than to suggest such an idea to me. I also know that it’s killing him to not say anything, but I imagine that he’s taking a small amount of comfort in the doubt on my face.

I shake my head at Adam. Rachel would never do anything to jeopardize her relationship with Carter. Never.
