She nodded. “Jess said she could be here in an hour.”

“Okay. That’s better than nothing. But right now, we’re in an emergency state.” His eyes landed on Emma sitting in the corner coloring. “Emma, are you up for taking orders?”

Emma perked up. “Really?”

He nodded and pulled down a nearby tablet. Since she still couldn’t read more than a few words, he had prepared a tablet with their menu on it with pictures next to the words. It was meant as a tool to help her learn to read while she played and pretended she was taking orders. But desperate times called for desperate measures.

“I want you to show your tablet to the guests to confirm their orders after you take them, okay?” he said. “And if anyone wants to speak with an adult, you get one.”

She nodded excitedly. “Okay.”

Miles looked at Savannah, who smiled at how excited Emma was.

“I’ll keep an eye on her,” Savannah said. “But she’ll do great.”

Miles watched the two of them leave the kitchen and then focused back on the cake. The bride and her guests would be here at any moment, and he needed to have everything ready.
