Chapter 31

The Honey Hollow Public Library is once again the hotbed of attention but on a far more low-key level than it was the first time. Gone are the insatiable crowds, and in their place the residents of Honey Hollow and a few neighboring communities have come out to see and appreciate one of their favorite authors. Pepper has yet to arrive, so Lainey helps me set up the dessert table out in the foyer. I thought it would be a nice way to honor Rhonda. After all, it was Rhonda who made sure I’d have Pepper Patrick’s favorite dessert on hand to begin with. I spent a couple of hours last night cuddling with Pancake and Waffles on the couch while I read through those accounting books from the flower shop that Willow lent me. Sure enough, The Enchanted Flower Shop is well into the black. I’m not sure why, but it did give me some relief to see it. At least Rhonda was able to pass down a successful business to her daughter, and in that way her legacy will live on.

I take a quick survey of the library, and I can tell my sister has been hard at work.

“Everything looks great,” I say. I know for a fact Lainey has worked extra hard in making today’s signing go off without a homicidal hitch.

“Thank you.” She wrinkles her nose as she peers into the library proper. “We thought this time we’d squeeze in as many seats as possible. At least if everyone is seated there might be some semblance of normalcy. It was such a zoo the last time.” She bumps her shoulder to mine. “Why haven’t you found the killer yet?” Lainey twitches her nose like she’s prone to do when she’s aggressively agitated. “You do realize I have a wedding coming up in July. The last person I want crashing that party is a homicidal maniac.”

“I agree. And you also have a shower coming up in June because Mom, Meg, and I happen to be throwing it. You’re welcome.”

“Aw.” Lainey gives one of her caramel tresses a brief tug. “You guys are the best. And speaking of the best, I’ve officially hired Felicity’s BFF as my wedding planner.”

“Jana March? That’s great! Felicity says she’s really good at what she does. And that means The Enchanted Flower shop will get some serious business off you, too. Felicity says Jana always recommends them.”

“Are you kidding? I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else.”

A couple of women cackle their way into the foyer, and we turn to find two of Noah’s exes, Britney and Cormack. They pause a moment before heading this way.

“Lolly”—Cormack shakes her head—“we need a tiebreaker. Brit here thinks that Chinese is Noah’s favorite food, and I say it’s Italian. So who has it?”

It feels as if a horrific weight has just pressed down over me, highlighting the fact that Noah and I are no longer together. Of course, we’re not together. I’m looking right at his wife and his wannabe girlfriend.
