Chapter 7

“Are you ever going to marry again?”

Kendall looked up, startled. Danni was helping her store supplies in the warehouse and chatting away as she worked.

“I don’t know,” she hedged, breaking open a box of paper cups. “I haven’t really given it a lot of thought.”

“Are you going to my sisters’ wedding?”

It was not something she was looking forward to, but she supposed she would survive it. “Yes. It sounds like it’s going to be the wedding of the year for this town. Are you looking forward to it?”

Danni moved her stepladder to a new location and climbed up again, putting cans on high shelves, but she didn’t answer the question. “I think it’s silly to have a double wedding. It’s not as if they’re twins.”

Kendall stopped what she was doing and looked at the girl, remembering things she’d said before. Poor Danni felt so left out. For just a moment she considered calling Sandi and asking if she realized how her closeness with Anne left Danni in the lurch, but immediately she thought better of the impulse. It was none of her business. She could just imagine how well she would receive a similar phone call from someone she knew. No one liked a busybody. She would keep out of it and hope for the best.

“I’m sure the wedding will be lots of fun,” she said carefully. “What’s your dress like?”

Danni shrugged. “Pink. It’s yucky.”

“You’ll be a knockout. I’d bet on it.”

The girl turned and gave her an ear-to-ear smile, then turned back to her work. “You’re so pretty and so neat,” she said casually. “You ought to be the one getting married. You’ve got to do it. Anyway, you want to have kids someday, don’t you?”

Kendall stared at the back of her head, wondering if she’d been talking to her brother lately. But no. Brett certainly wouldn’t discuss things like that with Danni. Would he?

“I’m not so sure I’ll ever have time for kids,” she answered, trying to keep her voice light and breezy. “After all, I’ve got all the ‘kids’ I can handle right here.”

Danni turned and regarded her solemnly. “I don’t know if Brett will ever get married either.”

Kendall put away the cups and looked around for something else to open, something difficult, so that she would have an excuse to give it a savage yank. “Would you like him to?” she asked.

“No. Not to any of the girls I’ve seen him go out with. They all think I’m a little kid who can be shoved aside and forgotten. If he married one of them, I would hate it.”

Kendall got very busy stuffing shredded paper in a trash bag. “I don’t think you really need to worry about it. Brett doesn’t seem like the marrying kind to me. He’s the type of man who likes a lot of women around, wouldn’t you say?” She gave the bag a solid smash. “I don’t think he’d be happy with just one.”

Danni didn’t answer and when Kendall looked up, she was shocked to see how desolate the girl’s face looked.
