Now she just needed to convince Lex to put her money pit on the market and move herself and Livy out to Los Angeles so they could all be together. Lily Brand wanted her, and she was more than thrilled to work for one of the world’s hottest designers and philanthropists…for the time being, but in three years everyone would be wearing Abby Harris designs. Her college diploma was hot off the press, but she’d been preparing for this interview since she sewed her first stitch with Gran’s old Singer years ago. Two more weeks and she was outta here, off to nail down her dream job with Lily Brand. The week away had been fun, but now she had a million things to take care of before her long-awaited flight to LA. Then she turned her focus to her cell phone, her thumbs flying over the keys, adding ‘to-dos’ to her growing list. Sighing, she watched Alexa pull open the door to the pretty brick building. If her big sister wasn’t worrying about something, she wasn’t breathing. ” She made an exaggerated go-ahead motion with her hands.
Wincing, Abby glanced at Olivia, making certain the quiet slam didn’t wake her niece, and turned, huffing out a breath as Alexa hesitated, looking toward the car. “Okay, be right back.” She rolled up her window and secured the locks as she got out, gently shutting the door. Lex was already wound tight, and their mini-vacation was barely over. “Pee already, Lex,” Abby said with an exasperated laugh. “I’m sorry, did you say you wanted to walk back?” Alexa smiled as she unfastened her seatbelt. I’ll keep my thumb hovered over ‘send’ the entire time.” She held up her cell phone with her thumb above the button in demonstration as Alexa pulled into a spot close to the bathrooms. “I’ll even punch nine-one-one into my cell. Nothing’s going to happen in the five minutes you’ll be gone.” She shook her head, rolling her eyes, and reached in her purse, grabbing her phone.

Livy and I’ll wait here with the windows up and doors locked. She was too used to her sister’s overly precautious nature to do more than glance Lex’s way and blurt out, "worry wart alert, worry wart alert,” in her teasing robot voice, grinning when her sister tossed her a baleful look. There aren’t many cars in the lot.”Ībby studied the mostly empty rest stop and thick tree cover blocking her view of the interstate, unfazed by Alexa’s perceived sense of danger. I’ll stay with her while you do your thing.”Īlexa looked in her rearview mirror and put on her turn signal, preparing to take the exit. “Can you wake Livy?”Ībby peered in the back, her heart melting as sweet little Livy slept with her mouth hanging open, clutching her favorite stuffed frog while her blond pigtails danced in the breeze. See?” She quickly turned her head, widening her huge, lake-blue eyes, illustrating her point. “Some of us require plenty of beauty sleep.”
“Ab, we’ve been driving for less than four, and you’ve slept almost the whole time.” “It feels like we’ve been in the car for hours. “Thank god.” She sat up further, glancing out at lush green trees and the endless stretch of farmland, eager to be home. She blinked several times, yawning huge and stretching in the passenger’s seat as the warm winds blew through her sister’s open window. We’re stopping in a second.”Ībby stirred as Alexa’s voice floated through her dreams.
