Callie

That’s what I thought…

“How are things going over here with my favorite sibling duo?” Olivia asks, leaning against the booth.

Charlie smirks, turning to me. “Have I told you she’s my favorite of your friends?”

Olivia swats at Charlie in fake humility.

“We’re doing great,” I say. “We’ve already sold a couple half cows for the spring, and a whole lot of tallow. People have been going crazy for that stuff lately.”

“That’s amazing!”

“How are things going with Carol at the Resilient Paws table? Are the ornaments working out how you expected?”

“Rhett is watching the booth right now, and they’ve been working like a charm. People love ornaments with their pet’s faces on them.” Olivia pulls her phone from her pocket, showing me a photo of a little boy with a puppy in his lap. “I also think I’ve locked in an adoption for one of the puppy yoga dogs.”

“That’s great!”

“That’s why I do what I do.” She beams, pulling her elbows from the booth and standing tall. “Anyway, I came over because the tree lighting is in about ten minutes, and I thought the biggest Christmas lover known to man should take a break to see it.”

“Agreed,” Charlie butts in. “We should all watch it together. The booth can manage without us for a few minutes. The whole town will be at the lighting anyway.”

I glance at Olivia with wide eyes. I have no arguments to make with Charlie’s logic.

“Sure!” I guess she and Callie didn’t prepare for Charlie to go off-script.

When I give her my bestwhat are you doinglook, she tilts her head down at me to indicate I should follow her lead. I don’t trust Olivia to be good at this kind of thing, but I don’t know what other choice I have.

“Let me just text Rhett so he can meet us,” Olivia announces loudly.
