“Are you meeting Bones here?” Jazz asked.
I shook my head. “Willa, actually.”
“Oh. Well, great. What can I get you?”
“Just an herbal tea. Surprise me.”
“That’s it?” Jazz asked. “I just took the goat cheese, lavender, and fig galettes out of the oven. If you wait for them to cool, I’ll be glad to bring you one.”
“I just had sushi with Charlie,” I said. “So I’m full. But thanks for the offer.”
Brielle went for a tin canister of tea leaves. “So, how’s it going?”
“It’s going well,” I said.
“I mean between you and Bones.” She grinned.
“It’s…going.”
“That doesn’t sound very exciting,” Jazz said as Brielle handed her the tea ball. Jazz placed it in a mug and filled it with hot water from the electric kettle that rested on the counter.
“Why is everyone obsessed with my love life?” I asked. “My mother, Charlie, now you guys.”
They exchanged a look and then Jazz ventured to say, “Well, because it’s kind of fascinating.”
“Definitely fascinating,” Brielle agreed. “You’re you, and Bones is Bones and we’re all just curious how this is going to shake out.”
“We all who?” I demanded.
“Well, us,” Jazz said. “And the Old Ladies. The club. Everyone, really.”
“Wait,” I began. “The Old Ladies know about me? The club knows about me?”
“Bones asked you to go to the wedding. Of course they know about you,” Jazz said.
“How do you know about the wedding?” I asked.
“We’re catering it,” Brielle responded.
“So, everyone knows my business?”
“Kinda,” Jazz said. “But not really. Not details. So, give us the details!”
I snorted. “So you guys can talk about it when I’m not around?”
The door to the bakery opened and Willa strode inside.
“Is everyone talking about me and Bones?” I asked Willa in way of greeting.
“Of course,” Willa said.
“What do you mean of course?”
Willa looked at Brielle and then Jazz. “Hi guys.”
“Hello,” Jazz said. “Usual?”
“Please.” Willa removed her jacket. “It’s hot in here.”
