Chapter Fourteen

The rest of the day went by just as busily as the morning had been. I barely saw the twins. Lina kept them busy with activities, and if she wasn’t keeping them busy, then one of the guys was. It was weird not having to be so attentive to them. I got to enjoy myself instead. After lunch, I dragged Bryce to the main festival area, where all the vendors were set up. I did light shopping, finding a cute Christmas present for Kenni.

I tried all the cider I could, my stomach hating me for it. The liquid goodness sloshed around heavily in my stomach, and I may have felt a little nauseous by the time dinner came around. I almost didn’t want to eat.

Bryce got called to duty for dinner. There was an area off to the side for food vendors. Lines were long as people waited. There were so many people. I was pretty sure there were even Canadians. That meant their festival was pretty darn impressive to attract international attendees.

Lawson and Lee were with Koen at a table. They waved at me furiously, food already in front of them. I almost pitied them because from the looks of it, Koen made sure they were eating something balanced. Which was usually difficult in a place like this. Did healthy food trucks even exist? It seemed like it would be a crime against the food truck industry if that were the case.

Smart enough to stay away, I waved and pointed to the line I was getting into. No way was I giving Koen a chance to force me to eat something healthy. Not here. No way.

Lee came running over.

“Sissy, I missed you,” he said, standing with me.

“Did you now?” I asked. “And here I was thinking you forgot all about me.”

He grabbed my hand and squeezed. “Never.”

“Did you have fun today?”

He nodded dramatically. “We did so much. Lina is so nice. She let us help with the pumpkins. And we got to go on a barrel ride. There was a hayride. And Dayton chased us through a hedge maze.”

“Oh? Did you make it to the middle and see the fountain?” I asked. I had been there too. I must have just missed them. Darn, that would have been fun to chase them around in there, getting lost, scaring them. I wondered if I could get them to go in with me now that it was darker out. Hide and seek in the dark. I loved that game.

“I made a wish too.”

“What did you wish?”

“Nope. I can’t tell you. You know that, Sissy.”

I sighed, pretending to be sad. “I know. I was hoping. I love secrets.”

Lee fought with himself. I could see the indecision as he tried to decide if he was going to tell me or not. Finally, he shook his head. “No. I’m not telling.”

“Aww. All right. I get it, I guess.” Scientists needed to hurry and finish making the brain-reading machine. How else were we supposed
