“Does it look like I knew?” Grant asked. “I thought you two women had an inside source. Janine hasn’t said a word to you?” Janine worked for Trent and their wives told them they had this one covered. Guess they got fooled too.
“No,” Diane said. “I was just over there talking to them about twenty minutes ago. They were in the same group and I joked about knowing each other well. Or Trent said he knew Roni well, but I didn’t get what he was saying.”
“Let’s go find out what is going on,” Carolyn said. “I’m not standing here gawking at them.”
The four of them moved over quickly and the minute they stopped in front of Trent and his siblings, there was a round of laughter.
“You guys are slower than I thought you’d be,” Chloe said. “I made it over before you.”
“You didn’t know either?” Garrett asked Chloe, who was one of his engineers. At least he didn’t feel so bad this one was slipping by him.
“Nope,” she said. “But I’m not surprised by it. When are you all going to realize everyone is just yanking you along?”
“I guess so,” Diane said. “Are you doing it now or are you two a couple?”
Roni looked at Trent, then got on her toes and kissed him on the lips. Yeah, that wiped out any doubt.
“We are a couple,” Roni said.
“How long has this been going on?” Garrett asked, frowning.
“How long do you think?” Trent asked. “Is there a problem with it? I thought this is what you wanted all along.”
“It is,” Grant said.
Diane pinched his arm. “Shhh.”
“What?” Grant said. “They know. Looks like they’ve always known. Unless it’s new?”
“I don’t think it’s new,” he said. “Come on now, give it up.”
Trent laughed and looked at Roni. She shrugged. “We’ve been dating since the middle of September.”
There was a loud laugh when that was said and he turned to see his daughter Jade standing there. “You guys are getting sloppy in your old age.”
Listening to his daughter, Jade, just now reminded him of what he’d said to Richard last week in terms of Elise. He was used to straightforward women. He could handle them well.
“No we aren’t,” he said to her. “But we don’t see them as much. It’s easy for them to pull this off.”
“Three months to pull it off with your sources?” Brock said, standing next to Jade. His son-in-law liked to bust their asses just as much as everyone else.
“Hey,” Grant said. “Everyone is busy.”
“Do your parents know?” Diane asked Trent.
“They found out last week,” Trent said. “If it makes you feel any better, they were sworn to secrecy too.”
“That’s something at least,” Carolyn said. “What about you, Raina, and Megan?”
“We’ve known for a while. It’s fun to watch everyone spin their wheels.”
“Very funny,” Diane said. “You guys are all thanking us now though.”
“We are,” Megan said.
Garrett was at least holding onto that when they continued with their matchmaking plans. That everyone thanked them in the end.
“You can let Janine know you’re aware now,” Trent said.
