Jenna pulled up to the car wash the softball team was holding to help raise money for equipment and plane tickets. Lifting her hand, she embarrassed her blushing daughter by acknowledging her presence.

It had been a week since Wren returned from the trip to Ketchikan. A whole week since Jenna had spent any time with Lennox. Here she was gate crashing her car wash, just because she missed her.

Her eyes sought out Lennox on their own accord. Sorting through the group to hone in on her tall frame, soaking in the image as if she hadn’t seen her peripherally at work. She was currently bent over, directing Ava to an area that was missed on a rusty truck. Jenna took in the wet shirt that clung to her torso and the ever-present ponytail stuck to her neck. It wasn’t until a car horn blasted behind her that Jenna shook into action and ended her staring session.

Pulling the car forward, she handed two twenty-dollar bills to Navy, who hesitantly looked towards Wren but took the money with a wide smile. Jenna was close to locking Wren and Navy in the closet so they could talk. She was convinced that it would clear up ninety percent of their problems.

Pulling the car forward, she parked and observed the group inconspicuously. The strong friend group seemed fractured, and Jenna had had about enough of it. Maybe it was time to take matters into her own hands. Stepping out of the car, she walked up to Lennox, who was now standing to the side, ensuring the girls didn’t hurt themselves with the sponges and soap.

“Hey, long time no see,” Jenna said, tapping her shoulder against Lennox.

“Yeah, it wasn’t like we didn’t have a meeting”—Lennox held up her wrist, which was covered in bubbles—“twenty hours ago.”

Jenna leaned in to blow the bubbles and laughed when they flew toward Wren’s mouth. “Sorry, hun.” She turned back to Lennox. “Are you free tonight for dinner? Maybe we can grill and whale watch off my back porch?”

Lennox started nodding her consent before Jenna even finished her sentence. “I’d love to. Want me to bring anything?”

“Just whatever you want to drink, and I wouldn’t say no to the famous brownies you usually bring to the work potlucks.”

“Ah, I’ll have to see if I can hit my supplier. The secret is they are store bought.” Lennox started wiping her arms with a wet rag to rid herself of bubbles.

“Coach! Addison slipped and might have hurt her wrist.” Ava approached them and pointed with a sponge to a group gathered around a car. Addison was hidden behind a wall of bodies.

Jenna rushed into action, running stride for stride, keeping even with Lennox’s longer legs. “Let us through,” Jenna said, tapping her daughter on the back to have her move to the side.

The wall parted for them. Jenna gently took Addison’s wrist, glad nothing appeared to be broken. Addison tried to pull it towards her body, but Jenna held steady, her fingers probing the area.
