Chapter 16

Edith handed Amber a plate with the words, “I can’t believe you’re still with him. He must be The One.”

Amber rolled her eyes. She hadn’t spent a ton of time with her friends in town since the New Year—since breaking up with Dwayne and starting a relationship with Lance. She worked a lot, and spent most of her free time with Lance, but with his mother moving in the following morning, he’d gone to stay with her for the night so he could load as much as possible into the truck tonight.

His family would be coming to help tomorrow, and Amber was already nervous about seeing them again.

“I like him,” she said.

“And yet you didn’t tell Jewel no to the new job.”

“She hasn’t even asked again,” Amber said. “It’s fine. You and Katrina made it sound like I’d be stupid to reject the job so soon.”

“I’m just saying,” Edith said as she scooped a piece of pizza onto her plate. “You don’t normally date men this long.”

“Lance isn’t like other men.” As soon as Amber said the words, they rang with truth. Right through her whole soul. Like the experience she’d had in church a few weeks ago, she just knew the truth of them.

She knew God loved her, and she knew Lance wasn’t like other men.

Tell Jewel you don’t want the job.

The thought moved through her mind slowly as she bit into her supreme pizza. The woman she was now held onto things “just in case.”

The woman she wanted to be made decisions and stuck to them. She didn’t live in fear of the future, or of her mother being upset with her, or her sister achieving something she hadn’t yet.

“Oh, I didn’t tell you about Chaz.”

“You sure didn’t,” Amber said, letting herself get distracted by her friend’s first date disaster. She laughed and shook her head in all the right places. She asked Edith what she was going to do about him.

“I mean, I can’t have every meal at the grocery store,” Edith said, lifting her eyebrows. “Right? I mean, he didn’t even want to take me to a restaurant. We literally ate lunch from the sample tables.”

“He doesn’t sound like The One for you.”

“Yeah, he’s not.” She shrugged, because her dating adventures were as varied as Amber’s. “He was fun to talk to on the app, though. I can’t believe you never tried it.”

“Never had to, I guess.”

“Yeah, you’ve got hot cowboys knocking on your door every other day.” Edith gave her a knowing look, and Amber just giggled.

“There are a lot of men up at the ranch,” she said. “Come volunteer. Several single cowboys still.”

“I think I’m going to take a dating break, actually,” Edith said, surprising Amber. In the two years Amber had lived on the cute street with the tall trees, Edith had been the only one to date as much as Amber.

They’d become fast friends, and they debriefed with one another after all first dates, no matter what time it was.

“A dating break?”

“Yeah, like you were supposed to in January.
