“Thanks.”
“Whoa, Team Bride is losing this competition. Huzzah, Team Groom is rocking it.”
Did that require a reply? “It sounds like I’ll get there when I get there.”
“Try the bridge down by Arrowsmith?”
“That’s another thirty miles south. Besides, I don’t think the car behind me left enough room to turn around. No, I’d better stay put.”
“Your call. So you know, the pizza just arrived, and it smells awesome.”
Sarah’s stomach growled as she glared at the Bluetooth.
Corbin chuckled. “I heard that. What’s your favorite kind?”
“If it’s Panago, the correct answer is Mediterranean with olives and extra feta.”
The sound of other voices and laughter became louder. A few glasses clinked. “Yup, there’s one of those. You must have an in with the bride. Want me to save you a piece?”
How about saving half a pizza? She hadn’t eaten since breakfast.
He lowered his voice. “We could sit out on the fire escape later and share it. Get to know each other.”
Um, right. Nick should have left this bozo out in the chicken yard where he found him.
“Who are you talking to, Cor?” Nick’s voice. “Is that my phone?”
“Yup, it rang, so I picked it up. Talking to Sarah from Team Bride.”
“Well, give it here already.” The phone switched hands. “Sarah? Where are you? The food’s here.”
“Stuck on the bridge. A semi turned over just a few vehicles in front of me. The tow truck is trying to clear it enough for one-lane traffic now.”
“But rehearsal...”
Like she didn’t know.
“Right. Well, I guess I don’t need to tell you to get here as soon as you can, eh?”
She drummed her fingers on the steering wheel. “I have that part figured out, Nick. There’s not much I can do at the moment.”
“I’ll tell Lindsey you called.”
“Thanks. I tried her cell first but she didn’t answer.” Neither had anyone else. She could wish no one had answered Nick’s, either.
“Okay. See you soon, I hope.”
“Hey, pass the phone back here.”
Corbin? Like she wanted to sit and chat with him any longer? Not a chance. She reached over and tapped the screen to end the call. That’d fix him.

Valerie Comer
lives where food meets faith in her real life, her fiction, and on her blog and website. She and her husband of over 30 years farm, garden, and keep bees on a small farm in Western Canada, where they grow and preserve much of their own food.
Valerie has always been interested in real food from scratch, but her conviction has increased dramatically since God blessed her with three delightful granddaughters. In this world of rampant disease and pollutio
n, she is compelled to do what she can to make these little girls’ lives the best she can. She helps supply healthy food — local food, organic food, seasonal food — to grow strong bodies and minds.
Her experience has planted seeds for many stories rooted in the local-food movement, such as those in her Farm Fresh Romance series.
