Chapter 10

“Dolly! Get yourself in here, it’s cold outside.” June ushered Sofey into her warm house and led her into the living room where she had popcorn and lemon lime pop waiting for them.

“I’m glad you’re back. How was your trip? How did Maggie and Chip do?”

“Oh,” June flipped her hands in the air, “that bird and squirrel did just fine. They love to travel and, even though those rugrat grandbabies of mine are all in their twenties, they still get a kick out of them.” June poured them each a glass of pop and handed one to Sofey along with a bowl of freshly popped buttery popcorn.

“Thanks. Tell me all about your trip.” Sofey had her legs curled up underneath her and a sherpa blanket draped over her lap.

“It was nice. Got to see the kids. Spent half the time at Tessa’s house and half the time at Cole’s.” June munched on a handful of popcorn. “Oh, and my van broke down at Cole’s. The mechanic said it’ll take three weeks to fix it.” She rolled her eyes, “Only the Good Lord knows why it’ll take that long in this day and age.”

“June! How did you get home?”

June snorted and put another handful of popcorn in her mouth. “Oh! Ford brought me home. You remember Ford, don’t you? The author from -”

“I remember Ford, June.” Sofey smiled.

“Well, he’s single, you know. He’s a bit of a flirt though, so sometimes it’s hard telling when he’s actually serious about a girl.”

Sofey laughed.

“Now, tell me what you did while I was gone. Find a new boyfriend?” June chuckled at her own joke.

Sofey cleared her throat. “No. I have not found a boyfriend.”

“Didn’t figure so.”

“Well,” Sofey sat up straight and pulled her shoulders back, “I did visit with a guy for like, mmm, three hours a couple nights ago.”

June perked up. “Really, now? A new guy? Where did you meet him?”

“I met him at that funeral we went to.”

June stared at Sofey and furrowed her brows. “At the funeral? Well, the only guy you talked to there was Rig….” June smiled and clapped her hands together. “And Rita, too?”

Sofey traced the rim of her glass with her middle finger. “No, she wasn’t there. He said she doesn’t like to read. But he was sitting in my spot, on the red chaise lounge I like to curl up on. So, I kinda had to talk to him.”

“You can’t have someone sitting in your spot.” June sipped her pop. “So, it sounds like you two hit it off. Maybe he has a friend he can introduce you to.”

Sofey rolled her eyes. “Or maybe we can just be friends and not worry about him introducing me to anyone.”

“Anywho, I knew he wasn’t all those horrid things the magazines say he is.” June smiled and turned toward Sofey, “Now, I want you to meet Ford. I mean, I know you two met at his book signing but I was thinking, maybe it would be nice for
