I couldn’t shake my grin as I led the way out of the storeroom. Mama and Babbas didn’t seem to notice. They were too busy holding hands and gabbing about how their love was like a loaf of bread—a gift from God above.

All this talk about bread was making me hungry. My stomach hadn’t stopped growling for the last couple of hours. Hopefully we’d get to eat sooner rather than later.

From across the store, I caught a glimpse of Paul sitting at one of the tables with my brother, playing cards. “Glad to see you’re hard at work,” I teased.

“Hey, I was ready to start writing, but you two disappeared on me.” He looked back and forth between Stephen and me. “Thought maybe you ran away from home. Left me with the kids.” He gestured to the children, who played off in the distance.

“I would never do that to you.” After a chuckle, I added, “But I can see Angie doing that to Jack. Can’t you? Maybe she leaves him alone for the day with all of the kids from the talent agency. He has to run a daddy day care for a day. Wouldn’t that be fun?”

“Yeah, fun.” Paul yawned and put his cards down on the table. “But can we talk about this after lunch? I’m starving.”

“We had planned to wait on Kat and Scott,” I said. “They should have been here by now.” I reached for my cell phone, noticing I’d missed a call from Kat. She’d left a message, which I listened to right away. “Ah. They had to stop off at Rex and Lenora’s house to drop something off, but they’re on their way now. She said to save some food for them.” My stomach grumbled again. “I think we’d better go ahead and eat without them.”

“Perfect timing,” Babbas said. “In a couple of hours this place will be full again.”

A voice rang out from behind me. “In that case, I’ll have the Super-Gyro with peppers and extra onions. Scratch the sauce. I’ve never been a fan.”

I turned to see Bob walking my way.

“No way. Well, howdy, stranger.”

“Howdy, yourself.”

Paul took one look at Bob and let out a whoop. “Welcome back, my friend. The prodigal son returns to the fold.”

“Well, only for a few days. We’re on a break from filming.” Bob handed me a gift bag. “I come bearing gifts.”

“That’s my line,” I said. “And what in the world are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be in Tahiti or something?”

“Nah.” He handed me the bag. “We were in the Amish country shooting the scene where the buggy repairman reveals that he’s a vampire in disguise.”

“An Amish vampire story?” My mother did not look convinced.

Bob nodded. “Anyway, we ran into some problems. The director had to have his appendix out, so they’ve shut down production for the next week or so.”

“I had my appendix out in ’68,” my father said. “Want to see my scar?”

He reached for the top of his pants, and I threw my hands up with a resounding, “No! Enough with the scars.
