Levi & Tucker & TJ & Ty &…almost everyone

“We’re going to need the Andersons to open up the hardware store too,” Tucker announced as he strode into the foyer.

Levi’s eyebrows went up. “So I’ve been told.”

TJ and Ty were standing with him as well, and Ty had already mentioned a need for the hardware store.

“I just called Eli and he said he’d meet us down there,” Levi said.

Tucker scowled at his brothers. “What do you need at the hardware store?”

TJ frowned in return. “None of your business.”

“Okay, okay.” Levi held up his hands. It wasn’t the last moment he was probably going to wonder what kind of can of worms he’d opened.

He turned toward the door, but Hailey came through the front door as Delaney came running down the stairs, wrapping a scarf around her neck.

Levi looked around at the crowd. “Everyone is going?”

“Of course. Teamwork,” Tucker said, putting an arm around Delaney. “That’s the key.”

TJ didn’t look worried about being on his own.

“Hope isn’t coming?” Ty asked him.

“No. She’s going to get started here,” TJ said. “Take advantage of the empty house.”

Tucker’s eyes narrowed. “Laney, maybe—”

“Oh, come on,” she said, grabbing the front of his coat and pulling him toward the door.

But before they were all through, Travis came striding into the foyer.

“You’re coming too?” Levi asked.

“Are you kidding? Watching my brothers race through the grocery store and try to be stealthy at the same time? I wouldn’t miss this.” He held up his phone. “And neither will anyone else.”

Levi liked his spirit. He also had to admit that he was looking forward to the Bennett boys making asses of themselves in the grocery store. Because it was inevitable.

“Lauren’s staying here?” Ty asked.

Travis nodded. “She didn’t want to get Whitney all wrapped up.” Whitney, their daughter, was only a few months old.

“Then maybe she could keep an eye on Hope,” Ty said. “You know, make sure there’s no cheating going on.”

Both of Travis’s eyebrows went up. “Cheating? Hope? First of all, how would she cheat in the first place? And second, this is Hope. She’s easily the sweetest one of any of us.”

No one could argue with that.

“Okay, fine,” Ty said.

“But she better not be helping Hope,” Tucker said. “That would also be cheating.”

Travis laughed. “Which thing would Lauren help Hope on? The craft or the cooking?”

They all laughed at that. If someone needed to talk to a stubborn politician about an environmental policy or convince a billionaire to donate millions of dollars to an aid program for third-world countries or negotiate with an irate village leader in Haiti about the farmland they needed to use for that aid program, Lauren Bennett was the girl.

Making desserts and handmade Christmas decorations, not so much.

“I’ll drive,” TJ said, pulling his keys from his pocket.

“I’ve got this,” Tucker said, shouldering his way in front of his older brother.

“We’re not drag racing pickups downtown,” Delaney said, grabbing the back of Tucker’s coat as he passed her. “We can all fit in two trucks.”

“I think we’ll drive separately,” Ty said.
