avidâs face was flushed. His smile was still wide, and he was still wearing the large cowboy hat. Christy couldnât believe how different he seemed to her.
âFina, this is my sister, Christy, and her husband, Todd.â
âItâs so nice to meet you.â Fina stretched out her arm and shook hands with Todd.
Christy took a small step forward and boldly offered Fina a warm hug instead of just a handshake. Finaâs expression made it clear that Christyâs hug was unexpected. In the yellow glow of the porch light Christy could see that Fina had high cheekbones and dark eyebrows that made her lovely face especially interesting. Her hair was short with lots of feathery flyaway strands. In the dim light, Finaâs silhouette reminded Christy of an Italian statue made of marble.
âWe would invite you in,â Christy said, âbut our daughter is sleeping.â
âThatâs fine,â Fina said. âWe can just sit here on the porch and talk if it wonât bother Hana.â
Christy was impressed that Fina knew Hanaâs name and even pronounced it correctly. She and David had spent enough time together for her to know those details. Interesting.
Todd offered Fina his rocking chair while he and David leaned against the wood railing across the front of the porch. âDavid told us youâre leaving tomorrow,â Todd said. âIâm glad we had this chance to see you before then.â
âWell, actually.â Fina looked up at David and then explained how she had thought she was returning to Arizona to teach a volleyball clinic at the college she was attending. âBut then I just heard today that theyâre cutting back on the junior coaches and my position was cut.â
âThat was a bad call on their part. Sheâs a fantastic coach.â David sounded equally vested in Finaâs disappointing news. âBut now sheâs staying in Glenbrooke this summer.â He looked happy about that.
âMy mom owns the Wildflower Café in town. Iâm sure you guys will eat there at least a couple of times. Iâm going to work at the café and help out here at camp as much as I can. Youâll probably see a lot of me this week.â
âI hope so.â Christy felt warm toward Fina. She wasnât sure yet if she liked her the way she instantly liked some people. Fina seemed a bit skittish, or maybe she was nervous being around Davidâs relatives. Christy tried to remember what that felt like the first time she met Toddâs dad, Bryan.
David cleared his throat and removed his big cowboy hat. Christy noticed for the first time that his muddled shade of reddish-brown hair like their dadâs was buzzed short. She hadnât seen it that way since he was a little boy. He had a rounded sort of widowâs peak on his forehead that was noticeable now that he was nearly bald. He looked so big and so mature standing in front of her.
âWe wanted to toss an idea at you guys,â David said. âItâs not a final plan or anything, but Fina is thinking about changing schools. Sheâs looking into Irvine or possibly Long Beach.
