LOUISA

I’m surprised how quickly Traynor makes me feel at ease in a crowd of townspeople. He positions me on the griddle next to him in an apron that reads—Firefighters Are Always Hot. It was the tamest of all the firefighter aprons filled with sexual innuendos about the lengths of their hoses.

"Okay, now most people just came here for their chance at a free meal, but I think that we can give them a little show if you are up to it.”

Nearly all of the townspeople are already sitting down at one of the many long picnic tables set up in the park. I’m not really up for being the center of attention like this, but without having to say anything to him. It’s like he understands my concerns.

“It’s nothing terrible,” he assures me.

“Okay, if you think I can help.”

“Did you play any sports growing up?” he asks.

“Softball. All-State, three years in a row.”

“What position?”

“First base.”

I can’t help but feel an ember of excitement start to grow in me the way Traynor’s face lights up. And the smile that spreads across his face could rival that of the cartoon Grinch when he comes up with a way to steal Christmas from Whoville.

“Rhodes!” Traynor calls out to one of the other firefighters working a griddle a few tables over. “We’re in!”

Rhodes throws his hand up in the air in triumph. “Loser does grunt work for a week!”

“I hope you like scrubbing toilets!”

Some of the people sitting at the tables between the two griddles give Traynor a look of disgust for bringing that up while they are eating.

"I'm sorry about that, folks," He says sincerely to them.

I grab onto Traynor’s bicep. “Umm, you didn’t say anything about there being a wager.”

"Don't worry about it," he says, his smile never wavering. "We got this in the bag."

“Got what in the bag? What are we doing?”

“Pancake flipping contest. And if you are a fraction as good as it sounds like you might be, we will be unstoppable.”

“Who will Rhodes be teaming up with?” I ask.

“That would be me,” a female voice says as she walks up to us. “I’m Hazel.”

She holds out her hand out to me. I pull at the cuff of my sleeve before I take it.

“I see you got roped into this wager as well.”

I look at Traynor as he bounces on the balls of his feet in excitement. “I guess I did.”

Hazel stares at me like she’s trying to place where she knows me. “You work at Harper’s Market, right?”

“That’s me.”

"You are a whiz at finding me all the coupons in the flyer that I miss."

She seems impressed by this, but that’s what happens when you check people out all day—you memorize the flyer front to back.

“I try to help everyone save as much as they can.”

“Well, I better go before my fiancé thinks I’m in cahoots with the enemy.” Hazel chuckles and gives me a quick wink before walking off towards Rhodes.

The pancake flipping competition turns out to be a bigger deal than I could have imagined.
