Emotion threatens to overwhelm me again. “They don’t even knowme.”
“My family have big hearts. And that pair are very sharp. If they think you’ve got a viable product here, then youdo.”
“We could save the farm,” I whisper. Something that seemed impossible for my sisters and me a few hours ago is suddenly within reach.
“So we’ll make an appointment for you to sit down with them this week, and we’ll see where it leads.”
I nod and snuggle into Romero’s side, watching the steady flow of people through the house. “You know, when Bree mentioned a movie night, I was thinking we might sneak upstairs and fool around.”
“Funny thing,” Romero says. “I had that same thought.”
“But this …” A gaggle of children hurries by us, chattering. One boy stops, doubles back, and grabs a chocolate chip cookie. Stuffing it in his mouth, he gives me a gooey grin and runs after his playmates. “This is good. It’s crazy, but it’sgood.”
Something changes in the atmosphere, a subtle alteration of the air around us. “Yeah,” Romero says quietly. “It’sgood.”
I’m not sure what just happened, and I’m afraid to ask. I don’t want to spoil this moment. So I lean against Romero, and bask in the glow of having family fill the house. Even if it’s not mine, even if it’s only temporary, it feels right.
