We walked into the smell of bacon sizzling on the griddle the next morning. Reign was manning the kitchen at Habernackle’s. He had on his usual uniform of jeans and a v-neck t-shirt, but he’d added a green Habernackle’s apron, and a dish towel slung over one shoulder.

I let the reusable shopping bag I carried slip over my shoulder as I sat it down on the counter. “Hey Reign,” I greeted him with a half smile.

“You look tired,” he commented, giving me a kiss on my cheek as I brushed past him to peek over the double swinging doors into the dining area.

“That’s code for you look like crap, right? You know you’re never supposed to say that to a woman. Is that why you don’t have a girlfriend?” I asked him, as I watched my mother scurry from one table to the next with a pot of coffee.

“So funny, Sis,” he said with a chuckle.

“You guys are busy again today. This restaurant thing is really taking off, huh?”

“We’re actually making enough money to think about hiring,” Reign stated proudly, flipping the eggs he was tending.

“Ooh, can I work here?” Jax asked as she breezed in through the back door carrying another shopping bag filled with pie ingredients.

“You’d really want to work for me? I can be tough,” Reign joked with a smirk.

“I’d work for you,” Holly said following Jax in. “And I’d look hot in my uniform, too.” She wiggled her eyebrows at Reign, causing his cheeks to redden slightly.

Alba rolled her eyes. “Can we not make today about flirting with the brother?” she asked Holly pointedly.

Holly groaned. “I don’t know? Can your mouth not throw insults all day?”

Reign slipped the eggs onto a plate and handed it to me. “Ladies, when I told you that you could use the kitchen to make pies I didn’t realize there was going to be girl drama attached. How about we try and have a pleasant day together?” He turned his attention towards me. “Can you please put two pieces of toast on that and take it to Mom?”

I groaned. I hadn’t come to Habernackle’s to work. I’d come to help keep Alba’s mind off of her missing husband, and I knew that sitting around an empty dorm room and an empty campus wasn’t going to do her any favors. Stiffly, I dropped two pieces of toast onto the plate and took it out to find my mother.

“Thank you,” Reign called after me.

“Mercy!” said Mom happily when she saw me round the corner from the bar. “When did you get here? I didn’t see you come in.”

I shrugged as I handed her the plate. “We parked in the back. Sweets bought groceries, so we just unloaded them into the kitchen.”

“Well this is exciting that you girls are going to have a pie making day,” she gushed. She reached a hand out and grabbed my arm before I could walk away. I stopped moving and looked her in the eyes. “Any news on Tony?”

I shook my head and followed her to her next table.
