Chapter Eighteen

Baker stood in the middle of the room, hands on hips. She looked around, nodding slowly. “Interesting.”

“Dude, I didn’t decorate it myself. Don’t hate.”

“I’m not hating. It’s charming.” She pressed her lips together and continued to nod.

“I think the style is called Adirondack. It’s better than country.”

Baker snickered. “You realize the hilarity of you even knowing the difference.”

Drew scowled, but without malice. Giving each other a hard time was part of their dynamic. It had been ever since high school. “You get your own bedroom. It’s got a real bed, too, not a futon.”

“Movin’ on up.” Baker turned and looked at Drew. “It’s totally nice, dude. And you get it all to yourself. That’s a ten in my book.”

Drew narrowed her eyes. The positivity made her suspicious. “You’re developing a thing for Long Island, aren’t you?”

“What? No. Of course not.” She answered a little too quickly.

“You are. You’re going to go all suburban on me. I can feel it.” Suburban was way worse than country, especially without any mitigating factors.

“It’s not that.”

The tone made Drew worry that something might be wrong. “What is it? Tell me. I won’t give you a hard time, I swear.”

Baker offered a half shrug. “I’ve just been seeing this girl is all.”

Oh. “And she lives out on Long Island.”

“Northport.”

The location registered. She let out a low whistle. “Dude, that’s swanky.”

“She’s a teacher there, not some princess. It’s just,” Baker shrugged again, “I’m driving all over for work anyway. She’s always going to the same place.”

Drew tried to keep the surprise from her voice. “You’re already talking about moving in together?”

“Just hypothetical. What might make sense, what we could afford.”

Drew had no idea Baker was even dating someone. She had a pang of regret over being so far away. It was homesickness, not envy. “That’s awesome. I’m happy for you.”

“Well, I mean, it’s not like we’re talking exposed wood and plaid sofas.” Baker gestured around her. Clearly, they’d maxed out her tolerance for the sentimental.

Drew chuckled. “Well, as long as it’s not that.”

“So, when do I get to meet your farmer?”

She didn’t call Baker out on the abrupt change of subject. “I thought we’d take a ride out to the farm together in the morning. I need to pick up my ingredients for the weekend anyway. I took the liberty of inviting her to dinner on Monday.”

Baker’s eyes brightened. “Do I get to pick stuff?”

Baker fixated on that instead of the dinner invite? Interesting. “We’ll leave early so there’s time for that.”

“I don’t think I’ve ever picked stuff before. How weird is that?”

“Not weird at all. We’re city folk.” Drew sighed. “It’s kind of nice.”

Baker raised a brow.

“Not, like, as something I want to do with my life, but having the option is cool. There’s something to be said for eating food you harvested yourself.” Grown by a beautiful farmer she couldn’t seem to get enough of.

“That totally makes sense.” Baker nodded. “Speaking of food, do I get to come to the restaurant with you tonight?”

“Absolutely.
