Chapter Sixteen

“The town is lovely,” I exclaimed a while later as Donna, Jana, and I headed to the general store. We were in Donna’s red Chevrolet truck, driving down Main Street, where you could find everything from a hair salon to a pharmacy and a Goodwill store. The security company Sasha hired was tailing us, of course. I didn’t think it was necessary, but it seemed to make Brayden happy.

The buildings were all wooden, painted in different colors. I’d called shotgun the moment I saw the truck. Jana was sitting in the back.

“Jana and I both studied in Boston but then came back home after graduating,” Donna said. “I’m a programmer, so I can write code from anywhere.”

“And I’m a chemistry teacher. Always wanted to come back to teach at the local high school. We’re small-town girls through and through.”

“I understand,” I said. “I grew up in Montana in a town half the size of Blue Falls. Can’t say I’ve ever wanted to go back though. I like to go there to visit my parents, but that’s it. I like big cities. I used to live in Philly before moving to New York.”

“We know,” Jana said. “It was all there in your LinkedIn profile.”

“We’re sorry if this is creepy. We were curious about you,” Donna said.

Donna stopped the truck in front of a small pink house with a black roof and the sign “General Store” on it. It looked very quaint and cute, but the main entrance was closed. There was a paper glued to it: “Out for lunch.” It didn’t say when they were coming back. There were three huge boxes next to the main entrance labeled “Party Supplies.”

I smiled. You only saw this in small towns. Donna, Jana, and I each grabbed a box, carrying them to the back of the truck. They were easy enough.

“Do we need to pick up anything else?” I asked.

Donna shook her head. “Nah, Esther got the cake this morning. We can pick up some ice cream though. That’ll fill us with energy while we put up the decorations.” She winked.

“I’m always up for ice cream,” I declared.

We tossed around our favorite flavors, and then Jana pointed with her thumb over her shoulder. “I’ll go to the bakery real quick and grab a few pints of Ben & Jerry’s. You two wait here.”

Donna and I closed the back of the truck, climbing into the front seats.

“So, when am I getting those saucy stories? I suspect the drive back is our only chance.”

“You’re right. Let’s wait for Jana to come. She’ll want to be part of this.”

Five minutes later, we were on our way back to the house. We’d each opened a tiny pint of Ben & Jerry’s, eating it with the small plastic spoons Jana got at the bakery.

“So we were literally terrifying our neighbors. You know those Halloween costumes people get scared of? We sometimes put them on for no reason,” Donna said.

“At the beginning of high school, he wasn’t that popular,
