Chapter 40

Kara

"It's so much warmer in here." Rachelle smiles at me a few days later. 

"Yes it is, and it was pretty hot, watching him put the skirting on. He was so concerned about us being warm. I've never had that before." My mind goes back to when he said the words forever. It wasn't what I expected at all, but it was everything I wanted to hear. My phone rings, and I answer quickly. "Keely, what's going on?" 

She snorts. "Listening to Mom talk about how she's disowning you."

I groan as I walk to the back of the truck. "Oh, I'm sure she is. She's mad as hell at me for not coming to stay with her. I reminded her you live down the road, and  could be on standby if needed. She hated that. She really wanted me to come stay, but I have so much going on with the food truck."
