It was as we were checking out that the ladies all but fell into line behind me.

One was cracking a joke at her brother’s expense when said brother came barreling through the door with a glare. “How long does it take for you shi…” He saw JP and stopped his tirade midword. “Sisters to get some chocolate and get back out here? It’s been twenty minutes!”

I nearly laughed.

Chocolate decisions were hard. Especially when there was a fine selection like this store seemed to have.

Out of everything in the store, that was the one thing that they had an overabundance of.

Priorities.

“We’re in line, brother,” the long, black-haired chick said. “Chill. Go back outside and wait for us.”

The brother did not chill. He also didn’t go back outside to wait.

He crossed his arms and glared at them from the front of the store.

Ahh, brothers.

Gotta love them.

I had two of them myself that I hadn’t talked to since I’d decided to leave while pregnant with JP.

Timothy and Anthony were three years older than me. One adopted, one not.

I kept an eye on them through cyberspace, and from what I could tell, both were doing good.

Though neither one of them had given up on me, and still, to this day, spent time on the internet looking for me. Because that’s where they knew, if I wanted them to, they could find me.

After we checked out and we were headed back to our car, my eyes once again went to that van that the circus ladies came in, and an idea hit me.

For now…it could totally work.
