Chapter Sixteen

“I screwed up,” Levi said to Zoey after he’d found her in the kitchen, trying to mooch a cookie from Betty.

The woman was glaring at Zoey, and he thought it a wise idea to pull Zoey out of the line of fire.

“It’s just one,” Zoey said to Betty, waving him away.

“One that our guests won’t get to enjoy,” Betty replied easily with a smile.

As he pulled Zoey aside, she grabbed up a cookie and stuck her tongue out towards Betty, who laughed as a reply.

“She has plenty. I skipped dinner.” She stuffed the entire cookie in her mouth.

He would have laughed at her, but he was too worried he’d screwed things up with her sister.

“What did you do now?” she asked after taking a drink from her water bottle.

“I told your sister…” He shut his mouth. “Well, I didn’t really say the three words, but… came damn close to it. Close enough that she dropped my jacket in a mud puddle”—he held up his ruined jacket and frowned down at it—“and ran back to the dining hall in those high heels of hers. I think she could have won a few awards with that sprint.”

Zoey smiled. “She’ll come around.” She slapped him on the shoulder. “Go see Brent about getting another jacket for tonight.” She started walking back to the baked goods, and he took her arm as Betty motioned towards Isaac, who started walking towards them.

“Are you sure?” he asked. “You didn’t see the fear in her eyes.”

Zoey sighed and took his shoulders. “My sister took everything that happened between my parents harder than even my mother did.” She snapped her fingers suddenly. “My mother. You should go talk to her. She’s back from her trip to Montana with Mr. Spy Pants.”

He chuckled. “Reed Cooper.”

“Yes.” Zoey smiled. “If they get married, I refuse to call him Daddy. It’s going to be Mr. Spy Pants.” Zoey held up her hand. “I’ve already settled on it. Anyway, she’s back home now. She would know the best approach to my sister’s heart. Moms know everything.” She tapped him on the shoulder. “Now, if you don’t mind, I have to try and swindle dinner from my employees.” She rubbed her hands together and turned to face the head chef.

Levi left Zoey begging for a plate in the kitchen and made his way back up to the bar.

When he arrived, he was thankful to see Liam Costa standing behind the bar, helping Britt out.

“You got this?” he asked the man.

“Sure.” Liam winked at him. “Heard you and Scar were…”

Levi growled and the man shut his mouth.

“Sure, I’ve got this.” Liam chuckled. “She just headed out the front.”

He thought about going after Scarlett for a second, then made his way towards the back door. The back path would take him towards her mother’s cabin.

River Cabin sat away from all the other guest cabins, which was why the Wildflowers had given it to Zoey and Scarlett’s mother within days of opening the camp up. It had also been their cabin each summer, making it special to the group.
