Clover had momentarily forgotten about the coin. She was too busy thinking of her family and was too tired to argue. They were right. Events had been set in motion whether she liked it or not. The party was happening.

Clover turned to go inside but stopped dead in her tracks, for her boyfriend, Bradley, was standing on her back porch. His hair was damp with sweat and brushed back from his face. He wore jeans, a T-shirt, and work boots. Even in spring his muscular arms were already tanned from working in the sun.

He waved. “Sorry to drop by like this unexpected, but I couldn’t wait.” His face pinched with concern. “Are you okay, Clover? You look upset.”

Clover smoothed her hands over her skirt. “I’m fine. Come and meet my aunties.”

Bradley joined them in the yard. “Nice decorations. Looks like you’re getting ready for a party. I’d be happy to help.”

“Thanks. We’re okay.” Clover glanced at the aunties. “Aren’t we?”

“I think I might have come at a wrong time,” Bradley said, not convinced.

Henrietta took him by the arm. “Not at all. We can talk about this family drama later. Let’s sit and have a chat and get to know you.”

Elsie headed toward the tables that had been set up in the yard. “Oh good. Derek’s back with the food.”

“You three sit and chat. I’ll help Derek and bring out some iced tea.” Clover smiled half-heartedly.

They sipped iced tea and chatted for about an hour, mostly about embarrassing things Clover did in her youth and Bradley’s plans for his business. Bradley offered to bring some beer to the party, but the aunties wouldn’t hear of it. “Beer at a tea party. Never,” Elsie said, shaking her head. “Though I’m sure it’s delicious.”
