Kristy couldn’t believe Sarah was actually at the park. All these years she’d been working there, and Sarah had only stepped foot a couple of times on park grounds. And one of those times was as a guest at her almost wedding.

“So. This is your office, huh?” Sarah scanned the crowded, plain room, one perfectly arched eyebrow raised. “Very festive.”

“My other office—” Kristy stopped. The yellow office wasn’t hers anymore, and bringing it up would just give Sarah a chance to rub salt in her wounds.

But Sarah picked up on the inference. Her mouth twisted as if she’d eaten a lemon. “That’s right. Mom said you’d been demoted.” she spit the last word out as if it were dirty. Then she shifted to a tight smile. “Too bad. I know you liked your job, though for the life of me, I don’t know why.”

Kristy stifled a sigh. And Happy Fourth of July to me. What had she done to deserve this visit?

“Why are you here, exactly?” Kristy asked, her eyes on Emma’s chubby cheeks. Oh, how she wished she knew her niece and nephew better.

“Andrew and I got Mom that grandfather clock she’s always wanted. It was pretty expensive. I just thought you might want to go in on it. No big deal if you don’t. Your part would be a hundred bucks, though.” she set Emma down in Kristy’s chair. “But that might be more than you wanted to spend.”

Kristy had already gotten her mother a gift. A twenty-five-dollar Barnes & Noble gift card. But Sarah had never asked her to go in on a gift before. At least not since they were both out of high school. She hated to be rude about it. “Sure. Let me just write you a check.”

Sarah plopped down in the blue plastic chair in the corner of the office. “Great.”

Kristy dug through her purse for her checkbook and finally came up victorious. “So how long are you here?” she asked as she wrote the check.

“We’re leaving tomorrow. We’re having company the rest of the week.”

“Oh?” Kristy said absentmindedly as she tore the check from the book.

“Yeah. Dad’s coming to stay with us for a few days.”

With the check still in her hand, Kristy froze as if she’d been immersed into very cold water. Sarah and their father were in contact? That didn’t come as a complete shock. But that they were close enough for him to spend a few days as a guest in her home? That piece of news took her breath away. She looked up at Sarah’s smug face. The reason for her sisterly visit was suddenly obvious. She was only there to drop a bombshell.
