THEY SETTLED IN on the floor again, and Tawny began going through the box. They looked at a photo album from when she was a little girl, and she couldn’t believe how much she’d looked like her mother, even then. They found a few of her father’s work journals and Tawny’s sixth-grade science notebook. Even then she’d been meticulous about note taking.

“I remember trying to get out of doing homework so I could go read,” Tawny said as she put the notebook down beside her. “I told my father that my brain could only hold so much information in one night and that I wanted it to have room for whatever book I was reading.”

Carson smiled. “How’d that go over?”

“He heated up a pot of water and handed me a cup of sugar. The water represented my brain, the sugar was knowledge. He told me to pour in the sugar, and we stood at the stove as I poured and he stirred. Sure enough, the sugar dissolved, which he likened to the brain’s endless capacity to absorb knowledge. But he took it further, because that was my dad, always teaching. We did the same experiment with cold water, and of course the sugar dissolved slower and hit a saturation point. My father said if I didn’t continue feeding my brain, it wouldn’t react as efficiently.” She smiled with the memory. “I never tried to outsmart him again.”

Carson leaned over and kissed her. “You did better. You decided to be smarter than him.”

“You remember that story, huh?” She’d forgotten she’d already shared it with him. She’d read after finishing her homework that night, but not the fiction novel she’d intended to read. Instead, she’d gone online and researched saturation points, absorption rates, and everything she could find about the brain’s capacity to learn. That night had sparked her love of all things chemistry related.

“You’re pretty unforgettable, Tabs. Remember when I used to tell you that there was more to life than good grades and you needed to save room in your head for fun?”

“That was the pot calling the kettle black, Mr. I Won’t Settle for Less Than a 4.0 Average.”

He barreled in to her, tickling her ribs and making her squeal with delight.

“Kettle?” he said. “You were right there with me, competing for the highest grades, and you know it.”

“So?” She laughed. “Remember what I said when you made those comments?”

“Let’s get the sugar,” they said in unison, and he lowered his mouth to hers.

She pushed playfully at his chest. “We’ll be late for Dylan’s if we start messing around.”

“Who needs football?” He waggled his brows as he sat up. “I get a kiss for every touchdown.”

“From which team?” She didn’t even know who was playing, but she didn’t care. She’d never watched a whole football game, and she was looking forward to getting to know the brothers who meant so much to Carson.

“Both teams.” He peeked at his phone. “We’d better get a move on so we’re not late. Let’s finish going through your dad’s stuff.
