Chapter 55

“Hi, Mom. Taking a break?”

Jane nodded. “I had no idea this business could turn frantic. I mean, here we are out in the country and suddenly it’s a madhouse.”

“At least they leave tomorrow, plus their events are over. You and Dad have done great.”

Jane studied Jennalee. “You’re certainly chipper. What gives?”

“Harley invited me to the fireworks with his mom and dad. Leave at seven, picnic at the park, home after. Can I go? Dad says it’s okay with him.”

“These are…”

“Yes, the motorcycle people. They’re really nice and they seem to like me and I really like Harley.”

“It’s fine with me, just not too late.”

“Okay.”

“Wait,” Jane said. “Will you be on a motorcycle?”

“Yes, that’s how they roll. They’re not kids, Mother. They’re responsible riders. I’ll wear a helmet. I’ll be safe.”
