Chapter 19

George, Pedro, and John passed the fellowship hall’s kitchen window. Sharee craned her head, keeping them in view. They settled into work, talking and laughing.

“What are you watching?” Lynn stepped next to her.

Sharee jumped. She drew her hands from the soapy water. Their early morning congratulatory breakfast for the volunteers had gone well, and she and Lynn had almost finished the clean-up.

“Oh. No one really. Why is it that men can fight, and, the next thing you know, they’re best friends?”

Lynn had enlightened her earlier—in exquisite detail— about John and George’s altercation.

“It was one punch, Lynn.” Sharee had pointed out. “You act like it was a championship fight or something.”

“Two men fighting over you, girl. You gotta love it.”

“You don’t know for sure.”

“I’m sure.”

“Well, I’m sure John didn’t see it coming, or there would have been a real fight.”

Lynn had raised her brows, laughed and walked away.

Sharee frowned at the men outside the window now. “Women fight, and it lasts for years.”

Lynn leaned forward and stared past her. “Are you upset about it or what?”

“I just want to know how it works is all.”

“That I can’t tell you. But the next time we get mad at each other, I’ll punch you, and we’ll see what happens.”

Sharee managed a smile. “Yeah. Try that one. We’ll see what happens all right.”

“Did you know John allowed Pedro to move in with him for a few weeks and is helping him look for permanent work?”

Sharee twisted from the sink, suds and water running down her hands. “What?”

“Hey! I’ll have to mop the floor again.” Lynn met her look, shoving her back to the sink. “You sound surprised.”

“I guess I am. Miracles do happen.”

“Woo, Sharee. Snide remark. Not like you at all.”

Sharee shrugged but looked toward heaven. Sorry, Lord. She dried her hands and clipped her watch back on her wrist. “Come on, let’s go. Work outside is calling.”

“Work is always calling around here lately.”

Sharee waved her hand. “Quit complaining. We’re almost through. Let’s go.”

“Slave driver.”

Sharee sent her a smile and slipped out the door. She walked the edges of the field, noting the areas John had marked off. He had each set and each group of workers under control. Between the two of them, she was the superfluous one. John could do this without her. In fact, no group seemed to need her today.

Shrugging off discouragement, she returned to the fellowship hall as Lynn exited, went through the sanctuary to the storage room. She grabbed an ancient boom box she’d seen earlier and an extension cord. Time to experiment. If she had the sound system up on the platform, would the sound carry over the field as she thought? Would they need extra speakers?

She tucked both items under her arms and retraced her steps. When she entered the kitchen, she halted. John, his back to her, was pouring coffee into a tall mug. He added sugar and creamer to it, moving in slow motion, as if fatigue claimed every move. He turned from the counter and stopped just as she had.
