Sunday dawned bright and early, but at least it wasn’t four a.m. The pub didn’t open until later on Sundays, and it would’ve been a great day to get a few extra hours of practice in. But Betsy reasoned that the Good Lord had taken a day off each week, and she could too.

She put three racks of baby back pork ribs in the Crock pot before church, and then stood in the bathroom with Jessie and Georgia, worrying over her hair.

“Why are you so fidgety?” Jessie finally asked when Betsy had elbowed her for a third time.

“Knox is coming to church today,” she said, flat ironing another lock of hair that refused to curl as much as the pieces around it. “Why is my hair doing this today?” Frustration seeped through her, and she let Jessie take the iron from her.

“So you like him,” she said.

Betsy’s eyes met Georgia’s in the mirror, and Georgia wore an intense look in hers. “I mean, yes,” Betsy said, her voice smaller than she’d like. She was older than Georgia and the other sisters, but sometimes she felt so insignificant compared to them.

Georgia smiled at her and finished her mascara. “That’s because those Locke men are amazing.” She giggled and left the bathroom as Jessie called after her.

“Don’t they have another brother?”

Georgia didn’t answer, but Betsy said, “Yes, his name is Alan. He’s taking over the potato farm.”

“Hmm,” Jessie said, finally getting the errant curl to work. “There you go, sis.”

“Who would you invite to church?” she asked, remembering how Jessie, who usually didn’t care if her hair was in a perpetual ponytail, had curled her hair a few weeks ago.

Her face colored slightly, making her freckles more prominent. “Oh, no one.”

“Mm hm,” Betsy said, glancing out the door and then pushing it closed with her foot. “You can tell me, you know. I mean, I had to talk to Georgia about dating her boyfriend’s twin. That was hard.”

“He works for us,” Jessie said in a whisper.

“So did Logan and Knox,” Betsy stage-whispered back.

“Logan did not work for us,” Jessie argued. “Georgia fake-hired him. And Knox, well, I guess he does work for us, but it’s not full-time, and it just feels different.”

“And look at all of us now.” Betsy gave her sister a so there look. Not that she and Knox were as serious as Georgia and Logan. They’d started talking about buying a ranch together and Georgia even went to a counselor now to deal with some of her past feelings from an ex-boyfriend. She wanted to be with Logan, and everyone in the family was expecting a proposal in the future.

“He has a girlfriend.” She pressed her lips together and shook her head. “I’m not saying.”

“All right,” Betsy said, mentally going through each man who worked on the ranch. After all, she knew them all, fed them all. “But you can tell me, and then maybe I can help you get a date with him.”

“He has a girlfriend,” Jessie repeated, opening the door and exiting the bathroom.
