At nine oâclock that night, Amelia snuffed out the last candle on the porch and walked into the empty dining room, her heart heavy when she turned the sign on the door.
âAnother successful day,â Rachel said from the behind the counter. It was her second summer working at the café, but Amelia knew it would likely be her last. Sheâd be starting her senior year of college in a few weeks. Amelia would have to find someone to fill her place for next year. It was all part of the process, but sheâd still be sad to see Rachel go.
âYep.â Amelia knew she should agree with Rachelâafter all, she hadnât had time to sit from the moment the café opened, and theyâd even filled every table during the otherwise slow midafternoon hoursâbut she couldnât stop thinking about the fact that Matt hadnât stopped by to smooth things over from yesterday, and that maybe he didnât intend to.
Still, she didnât regret her words yesterday. It needed to be said. And if Matt was hell-bent on destroying the town he claimed to love so much, then she wasnât going to sit back quietly and watch.
She gave Rachel a tired smile. âGo ahead. Iâll clean up.â
Rachel hesitated, but briefly. âIf youâre sure.â
âItâs fine,â Amelia said. She knew that Rachel had started dating Chip, one of the other seasonal staff who was helping Jackson over at the inn. Sheâd seen them getting ice cream last Sunday afternoon on her way back from the grocery store, and they had been sharing a sundae. One cherry on top. Two spoons. Chip had let her take it.
Actually, heâd spoon-fed it to her.
Amelia sighed. Even her father was spoon-fed by Candyâeverything from chocolate-chip ice cream to greasy strips of bacon. Sure, this wasnât Ameliaâs idea of romance (unless, maybe, it involved a chocolate soufflé), but it served as another reminder that others had found love.
And sheâ¦had lost it.
âOh good,â Rachel said, as she quickly untied her apron. âChip cuts out early tonight and we thought weâd check out that new band playing over at the pier.â
âSounds fun,â Amelia said. The pier near the yacht club was a hot spot during the summer monthsâa gathering spot for live music and the occasional art show.
âYou can join us?â Rachel smiled at her, but Amelia just shook her head. Maddie had already left, and Britt would be busy with Robbie and Keira, and Cora was probably still at her shop, poring over Christmas catalogues and ordering even more items for her already packed store. Gabby would probably be up for it. Maybe Gabbyâs younger sister, Jenna, too.
But Amelia just wanted to go home tonight. Her favorite reality show aired on Tuesday nights. Not that sheâd be sharing that. It would just prompt more urging for her to get out of the house and socialize.
She waved goodnight to Rachel. Amelia sighed to herself as she wiped down all the tables and the flicked off the lights. That had never been her, had
