“Exactly how I said it.”

I chuckled lightly. “I mean, how did he look?”

“He looked interested in knowing everything about you from the past few years.”

“He could have easily checked my Facebook or something.”

She laughed. “I think I'm a more reliable source.”

“And why would you be a more reliable source?”

“Because you tell me everything.”

I wrinkled up my nose. “But you didn't tell himeverything, right?”

“Of course not, Clara. I wouldn't tell him your super private stuff, just what was relevant to the conversation. He wants you to be happy.”

I smiled warmly. “That's so sweet.”

“Wait, are you interested in Levon Milford?”

“What?”

“You heard me. It isn't that loud out here.”

I blushed. “I don't know what you're talking about.”

She smiled knowingly. “I think youareinterested in him. I mean, you're not tied to Gabe anymore. Levon is back in town. He seems willing to start things over. Why not?”

“I'm just curious to know what he thought about me and my life. And I want to know what he's been up to lately. Is that a crime?”

“No, but it's suspicious as heck.”

“You're ridiculous.”

She laughed while wandering up to the squash stand. “And who do you think I get it from?”

“Probably our mother.”

“That's the truth.”

“So, what has he been up to? Anything fun? Has he been seeing anyone?”

She looked me over curiously before turning back to the squash. “Well, he's been traveling as he usually does. But I don't think he's been seeing anyone.”

“I mean, he's pretty handsome. I figured he would meet someone while in Europe.”

“I don't think that interested him. I think he's still hung up on you.”

“You can't know that for sure.”

She laughed. “You dated him for so long that he became a lot like a brother to me. That means I have that same bond with him that I do you. So, I can read him.”

“You say that about everybody.”

“Hey, I'mgoodat reading people. You can't deny that.”

I shrugged. “I guess so.”
