“Really?”

“For you? Absolutely. Besides, I know you won’t stop until you put it all together. I’m just trying to save you some time.” He gave her a wide grin. “And me as well.” He chuckled.

“You are the best!” Luna threw her arms around his shoulders and kissed him on the cheek.

“So, what are we having for breakfast?” he asked.

“Something easy. Scones?”

“You got it. We’ll grab some lunch later and take it to Freedom Park. How does that sound?”

“Sounds perfect, but it will have to do.” Luna was over the moon, and Gaines seemed to be traveling at the same speed of light.

Chapter Fifteen

The weekend wrap-up

On her drive back to Asheville, Luna called Chi-Chi, using her Bluetooth. In unison, they asked, “So? How did it go?” Both laughed out loud.

“You go first,” Luna encouraged Chi-Chi. “You created quite a stir.”

“I can’t really say.” Chi-Chi was hoping Luna would understand that she couldn’t discuss anything at the moment.

“Nosy brother?” Luna chirped.

“Oh. That is not all.”

“Now you have to tell me. What?” Luna was hoping it would be about her brother.

“I will have to call you back.”

“Wait! You can’t leave me hanging.”

“I have to make coffee for my guests.”

“Cullen? Abeo? Speak, woman, speak!” Luna was practically shouting.

“I cannot say.” Chi-Chi was being cryptic, but she knew Luna would get it eventually.

“Is Cullen there?” Luna thought she was in a taffy pull.

“No,” Chi-Chi answered.

“So Cullen isn’t there but Abeo is and there is someone else?”

“That is correct,” Chi-Chi replied. “By the way, do you remember that show we always talk about?”

“Show?” Luna was scouring her brain.

“Yes, the friends that live together?”

“Friends?” Luna knew that wasn’t the correct answer. Then it came to her. “You meanThe Golden Girls?”

“Yes, I believe that is the one.”

Luna let out a yelp. “Whoa!”

Chi-Chi had to pull the phone away from her ear.
