Louisa

They pulled up to the Miller family farm, happiness bubbling up inside of Louisa. It was her tia’s 70th birthday, which of course Carmelita insisted on celebrating by cooking for three days and inviting everyone to come over and eat. Louisa never understood her tia’s obsession with cooking, much preferring to eat the hard labor of others than to cook it all herself.

Which, she figured, made her and Carmelita a match made in heaven.

Skyler was talking a million miles an hour, telling her and Zane everything that he and Juan were going to do that day, which mostly seemed to involve a lot of toy backhoes and dirt. It was a damn good thing that Carmelita didn’t expect – or even want – the kids to show up in button-up shirts and ties, hair carefully slicked back. She wanted them to be happy, and that meant playing in the dirt. And lots and lots of cookies.

Louisa was sure Carmelita would come through on both accounts.

As she stepped out of the Audi, carefully balancing an elaborate fruit plate that Chef Ralph had put together for the occasion, she spotted her mom’s van. She stopped dead in her tracks, shaking her head like a dog after getting out of the canal. That couldn’t be right. She blinked rapidly and then looked again.

That was most definitely her mom’s van. Its side panels were a different color than the hood, the result of an accident in high school, and despite Louisa’s pleas for another vehicle – any other vehicle – her mother continued to have Louisa drive the van to school every day. It had been soooo embarrassing to teenage Louisa, and she’d grown to hate it.

Of course, the damn thing was unbreakable – it would’ve been much too convenient on teenage Louisa for it to have died somewhere, forcing her mom to replace it – and so here it was, all these years later, still their family’s primary mode of transportation.

But her mom wasn’t going to be able to come today. She’d said she had too much to do at home that she needed to catch up on. They’d discussed it via text just a couple of nights before.

What changed?

Skyler tugged on her elbow, pulling her out of her thoughts. “C’mon,” he said anxiously. “I think everyone’s out back. I can’t see Juan.”

“Right.” She started forward, feeling Zane’s eyes trained on her back as they walked. Ever since that day by that gorgeous mountain stream when she’d completely grossed him out with her non-starlet body, Zane had been distant with her. She’d spent what felt like days, thinking it over and trying to figure out where they went wrong, and finally decided that it had to have been her body. She wasn’t a hefty girl but she also wasn’t a stick. He probably took one look at her thighs and realized that she weighed more than 97 pounds and every bit of lust for her had disappeared on the spot.

Well, screw him.
