CHAPTER ELEVEN

On Wednesday morning, Emily fired up the oven, the range top, and the grill for breakfast while Jancy found the recipe for strawberry cupcakes. She whipped up four dozen and popped them into the oven. While they cooked, she made cream cheese frosting and set it in the refrigerator. Then she helped Emily by arranging biscuits on the baking sheets so they would be ready to go into the oven as soon as the cupcakes were finished.

“Fifteen minutes until time to open.” Emily cracked two dozen eggs into a bowl and whipped them up.

Jancy pulled two trays out of the oven and slid two more pans in behind them. “We make a pretty good team.”

“This ain’t the first rodeo for either of us,” Emily told her. “I talked to Ryder last night. Shane is so excited that someone else knows about everything. He’s been about to explode because he has no one to talk to about it, so you’ll get an earful today and again tonight when we go see Nettie.”

“Do you think Vicky is going to get suspicious when we all four show up again?”

Emily stopped for a minute and stared out into space. “Maybe that would be good thing. We’ve decided to tell her and Nettie together on Sunday night after church. If she already suspects something, maybe it won’t be such a shock.” Emily nudged her shoulder. “Promise me you’ll be there with me.”

“That should be a private matter between you and your family.”

“Then I’ll adopt you and Shane both. If y’all are there, maybe it won’t get crazy.”

“What you better hope is that Ryder walks out of the house alive.” Jancy’s laugh held a nervous edge.

Emily giggled with her. “I’ll protect him. Now if you will unlock the doors and turn on the lights, we’ll prove that we can run this diner all by ourselves.”
