Three hours later, Hunter wasn’t feeling so friendly toward Abby. The damn woman had left with his truck more than an hour ago to pick up Granny MacLeod, and as far as he could tell, neither one of them had put in an appearance at the festival.

He felt his aunt and the mayor glancing his way from their tents on his left and his right. He sat behind a table surrounded by baked goods under a yellow tent painted with Liz’s signature honeysuckle and honeybees. It’s where he’d spent the last three hours. Stuck between the two older women, who were watching his every move. It had actually been worse when Abby was around so he supposed he shouldn’t complain that she wasn’t there.

“You might as well start giving away the cupcakes and hand pies,” his aunt said. “No one is going to buy them.”

He dug his wallet out of his back pocket, pulled out a ten-dollar bill, and put it in the cash box. It looked lonely in there so he pulled out two fives and tossed them in. “Maybe if you’d stop glaring at people when they came over, they would.”

“No, what Elsa needs to do is lift her edict on Facebook,” the mayor said. “Abby talked to Bliss and cleared what she was bringing with her. So I don’t know what your problem is, Elsa.”

Winter Johnson was an attractive woman in her early sixties. Her Cherokee and Scottish roots were evident in her tan skin, high cheekbones, and blue eyes. She wore her jet-black hair long and straight. Although today she sported a sparkly purple streak, courtesy of Josie. Who knew fairy hair was a thing?

“I’m selling books, Winter, and you’re selling your beauty-and-wellness products,” his aunt said.

Winter sold natural products derived from plants and flowers that were raised on her farm.

Hunter was pretty sure he knew where his aunt was going with her comment. “Abby doesn’t know anything about bees, Aunt Elsa. She’s been here for just over a week. And it’s not like she hasn’t had a lot on her plate. She…” He trailed off at the sour look on his aunt’s face and the knowing one on Winter’s. He couldn’t win. And people wondered why he preferred the company of his dog.

His brother sauntered over. “You look like you’re having fun. Hey, Winter. Hey, Aunt Elsa. How are sales going today? My brother entertaining you with his scintillating conversation?”

“It was very entertaining when Abby was here,” Winter said with a twinkle in her eyes.

“Is that so? She should be back any minute now. She’s just wrapping up her interview with Granny MacLeod,” Shane said and picked up a cupcake.

Hunter grabbed the cupcake on its way to his brother’s mouth. “That’ll be ten bucks.”

“Be serious. We’ve been performing for Abby’s YouTube channel for the last twenty minutes. I’m starved.”

“Are you kidding me? She’s been back for that long and didn’t come here?”

“You missed her, didn’t you?”

His aunt and Winter leaned so far over to get a good look at him that he was surprised they didn’t fall out of their booths.
