Chapter 18

“There has to be an easier way to harvest than by hand.” Heather sighed as she straightened. She arched and stretched out her back.

While the first day of harvest had gone well, the second was not meeting the same expectation.

They were shorthanded when Michael and Walker didn’t show up. Agnes was late. She apparently had some kind of bee emergency. Heather didn’t have time to find out what that was about. To top it off, the cooler truck had been late arriving.

“They make a harvesting tractor but it’s very expensive. They use it in Holland to harvest the tulips over there.” Olivia swiped her hand over her forehead, leaving a dirty line across her head. Heather grinned and wiped the dirt off her face.

“Thanks. I’m always making a mess of myself.” Olivia laughed.

“I can’t imagine you ever being a mess. That title belongs to me.” Heather arched her brow.

“What title is that?” Tabitha walked over. Her red hair was in a tumble around her face. Despite that, she looked gorgeous.

“The title of who my brother is crushing on.” Olivia snorted.

Heather went red. “That’s not true.” She looked at Tabitha.

Tabitha froze and then burst out laughing. “You’re right, Olivia. That’s why he didn’t flirt with me yesterday. He is totally crushing on you, Heather. Olivia said he brought you to town the first day you arrived. He’s been spending a lot of time over here.”

“That’s not true.” She shook her head vigorously. “He’s just being neighborly.”

“What’s not true?” Elizabeth pulled up on the golf cart that Agnes had brought over.

“We think Grayson is crushing on Heather.” Tabitha beamed.

“Well, of course he is. They’re both single and Heather’s very pretty. It’s about time he got over that Sarah girl.” Elizabeth drove off.

“Who’s Sarah?” Heather bent and started harvesting again.

“Ah, so he hasn’t told you about that?” Olivia asked as she cut tulips.

“It’s his ex-fiancée,” Tabitha offered. Olivia cut her eyes at her. “What? It’s not like she wasn’t going to find out eventually.”

“I didn’t know he was engaged.” Heather tried concentrating on her work.

“Was is the key word,” Olivia said. “She wanted greener pastures and wanted to move to Memphis. Grayson wanted to stay here. So she broke up with him a week before the wedding.”

“They didn’t talk about where they were going to live when they got engaged?” Heather scowled.

“It was understood that they’d stay here. She knew Grayson would never leave his farm. She even got a job here. Until she went to Amber’s destination wedding in Aruba.” Olivia’s voice hardened.

“I would think going to a wedding would make her even more excited to be getting married.” Heather stood and looked at Olivia.

“Unless her friend Amber introduced her to one of the groomsmen who happens to be incredibly wealthy and they hit it off and spent every moment in paradise together.” Tabitha sneered.

“You’re kidding?” Heather shook her head. “Sounds like she’s easily swayed by something so inconsequential as money.”

“What are you girls doing? Hope it’s not gossiping.” Agnes parked the utility terrain vehicle that Grayson had driven over.
