Chapter Seven

Roxane looked up from her desk at five to see her sister’s smiling face. “You ready?” Riley asked.

Roxane nodded. “Yeah, just let me get my stuff. I’m not coming back until Monday!”

“Lucky you!” Riley said with a groan. “The girl who covers for me on the weekends is out of town, so I’m taking her days. I could use the days off.”

“Couldn’t we all?” Gathering her things, Roxane got to her feet. “Let’s go to Ambrosia’s shop. I’m not sure why she scares you, but I’ll keep you safe. That’s what big sisters are for.”

Linking their arms together, the two sisters marched through the lobby and out of the hotel. “You have to drive,” Roxane announced. “If I’m acting as bodyguard, I need to have all my senses aware as I watch for danger.”

“I knew I should have asked Raina. She never acts like I’ve lost my mind!”

“Why didn’t you?” Roxane asked. Raina and Riley had always been really close.

“She had a late massage, but the woman canceled. Now she could come, but I already asked you!”

“I’m second best?” Roxane put her forearm over her eyes dramatically. “Some people like me best, you know!”

Riley rolled her eyes and opened her car, getting in behind the wheel. “I like you best. You are my very favorite eldest sister.” She waited while her sister buckled before driving out of the parking lot toward the crystal shop. “What should we do for supper after? You do still eat things other than tacos, don’t you?”

Roxane shrugged. “Not if I can help it.”

“I don’t blame you. I had Ciran’s tacos for lunch today, and I almost asked him to marry me just so I could have them again.”

“You can always buy them from him. You may not marry my boyfriend.”

“Boyfriend?” Riley said, her eyes wide. “Are you guys getting that serious?”

“I don’t know! For me the feelings are still there. The years he was away were pure agony. I wasn’t sure if I wanted him to come back, but now that he’s here, I can’t imagine doing anything without him.”

“Did he want to see you tonight?”

Roxane shrugged. “He thought we would go out again, but you asked first. I told him my whole evening was yours. We’re going four-wheeling in the mountains tomorrow, though, so no big deal.”

“I bet he packs a lunch. You should tell him your kid sister needs to go, too.”

“I babysat you with him around enough when you really did need a babysitter!” Roxane protested. “Nope, you’re not eating my share of the tacos. Besides, you told me you have to work.”

“I’ll have Ambrosia fill in for me,” Riley said her voice deadpan, and then both sisters dissolved into laughter.

“We shouldn’t make fun of her,” Roxane said as they parked in front of the shop on the street. The biggest problem in Quinn Valley was the lack of parking. Every available spot was used for something, which was why Ciran had been so excited to get a prime spot for his taco truck.
