Chapter 32

“Have you guys eaten?” I said to the twins.

“Not yet,” Zeb said. “We were sort of waiting to see what you wanted to do.”

“Why don’t we go over to The Loop? I’ve kind of got a yen for a grilled chicken sandwich as only they can do it.”

“Sure,” Zeb said. “We’ll meet you there. Can we bring Josh and Norm?”

“Certainly.”

Robbie was fascinated by everything in sight, especially the St. Johns River, which could be seen from the deck—he’d never seen a body of water larger than Lake Junaluska. The twins and their new boyfriends seemed very relaxed with us and with each other, and Robbie seemed especially fascinated by Josh.

“I’ve never met a blind person before,” Robbie said.

“Well,” Josh said, “you have now, and I hope we can be friends.”
