Chapter Twelve
âGod, I hope this goes well,â Aiden says, his head knocking against the shotgun window with every little bump I drive over.
I peek over Scott, who sits sandwiched between us as if heâs our kid brother. âWhy wouldnât it go well?â I throw my truck in neutral and coast down the end of County Road Nine into Holston Valley. Weâre almost to East Sparrow. My gut tightens with excitement. Not only do we get to host an incredible event for AQF, but Olivia will see our orchard for the first time. Sheâll see my hometown for the first time. The thought is quickly replaced with a nervous crunch. I havenât decided if Iâm going to ask my dad about the peaches and blueberries yet, but I canât stop thinking about it.
âYeah, no stress. Sounds like every detail is accounted for. It should go off without a hitch,â Scott says.
Aiden leans forward to look at me. âSure, but what if no one shows up? Itâd be so awkward.â
I shake my head. âThereâs no way that will happen. AQF has a huge following at this point, and the softball team alone could fill a whole event. Itâs going to be perfect.â It is going to be perfect. Itâs the end of October, and the weather is cold but bright and sunny. The perfect fall weather for the perfect Fall Fest.
Scott, Aiden, and I left for East Sparrow right after our last class today, and the rest of the AQF crew and Maya and Andy will meet us bright and early tomorrow morning to begin setting up. I hate that Olivia isnât the one sitting next to me right now, but she insisted I take Scott and Aiden in the hope that when itâs the three of us, Aiden will work up the nerve to come out to our dad. Sheâs coming later tonight with Tessa and Ashley. We get one night at home with just the six of us.
I clear my throat and let the hot anticipation swirl in my stomach. There are three rooms; Aidenâs room for him and Scott, the guest room for Tessa and Ashley, and my roomâ¦for me and Olivia. Weâll share a bed. My mouth dries at the thought, and I bite at a dry spot on my lip. Iâm so fucking excited, I shift in my seat. âDo you think youâre going to tell Dad?â I ask.
Aiden grabs Scottâs hand from his lap and pulls it over. âReckon if Scott is brave enough to tell his super conservative folks, I can tell our super fucking awesome dad.â
âYou got this,â Scott says through a smile.
âYou definitely got this. He wonât be fazed, I promise. Shoot, he probably already knows. You got pretty lax with your secrecy senior year.â
âWhat?â Aiden scoffs. âAnd how is that?â
I chuckle. âOh, I donât know, Tommy Price practically falling out your window trying to sneak out before Dad woke up. Only, Dad was already out on the tractor, and Tommyâs car was parked in the Fujis, the same apples that were on the pruning schedule for that day.
