as I am that you’re awake, baby, you missed a lot of the conversation on the plane,” James said. “You’re to refrain from making farm jokes and animal noises because it’s considered rude.”
    “Who said anything about animal noises?” Ally asked, confused.
    “I thought you liked it when I made animal noises,” Mandy countered. “You love it when I make chomping noises in the hot tub and pretend I’m a shark.”
    “That’s because you’re naked when you do it,” James replied, unruffled.
    “You two have some weird fetishes,” Jake said, turning onto a long and windy dirt driveway. “You might want to refrain from putting those on display out here. I don’t think people are going to understand that Mandy gets turned on by Jaws .”
    “I don’t get turned on by the shark,” Mandy corrected. “I get turned on by Martin Brody killing the shark. Get it right.”
    “We’ll be on our best behavior,” James promised. “I’ll keep my wife and her Jawesome behind at my side at all times.”
    Jake snorted. “Yes, that sounds like a real hardship for you.”
    “It’s a hard job, but someone has to do it.”
    “You know I can hear the two of you, right?” Mandy asked from the back seat, kicking her foot under James’ seat to get his attention. “Are you going to chase me through a meadow like in Little House on the Prairie ?”
    “Baby, if that does it for you, I’ll chase you through six meadows.”
    “I thought it would be warmer here,” Ally admitted. “Don’t get me wrong, it’s nicer than Michigan right now, but it’s not exactly balmy. I was hoping to get a tan.”
    “The weather shifts here a lot,” Jake explained. “One day it could be like this and the next day it could snow. A day after that it could be seventy. This is a hard time of year to predict.”
    “Will you chase me through a meadow?” Ally asked.
    “It wasn’t in my plan, but sure,” Jake acquiesced. “I’ll take you on a picnic and chase you before we … .” He shifted a wary look in James’ direction.
    “Before we what?” Ally prodded.
    Jake cleared his throat. “Have dessert.”
    “That’s a very good answer,” James said.
    “So, you’re saying you’d rather have Jake lie to you than know we were going to roll around in a field?” Ally asked, nonplussed.
    “That’s exactly what I’m saying.” James leaned forward as a majestic house popped into view. “Holy … wow. Is that your uncle’s place?”
    Jake nodded, his heart rolling. He’d forgotten how much he loved this house and the land surrounding it. Just being back – even if he hadn’t set foot on it yet – was enough to mire him in happy childhood memories.
    “That’s amazing,” Ally breathed. “Look at the front porch! It has rocking chairs. I want a front porch like that one day.”
    Mandy shrugged. “I like our hot tub and patio better.”
    “No one asked you,” Ally muttered, pinching her best friend. “Why do you always have to rain on my parade?”
    “Do I have to separate you two?” James asked, arching an eyebrow. “I knew letting you guys sit in the back together was a bad idea.”
    “I don’t understand why you’re fighting,” Jake said, parking his rented vehicle and killing the ignition. “You two never fight like this.”
    “We do on road trips,” Ally explained, reaching for the door handle. “How do I look?”
    “You look good,” Mandy said, running her hand down the back of Ally’s hair to smooth the messy waves. “They’re going to love you.”
    Jake narrowed his eyes, confused. “Weren’t you two just fighting?”
    “The road trip is over,” Ally explained. “We’re done fighting.”
    “I will never understand women,” Jake muttered.
    “Join the club and get used to it,” James said. “If I could explain half of the things these two do, I would … be less frustrated almost seventy-five percent of the time.” He clapped his hands, jolting everyone in the vehicle. “Okay, kids,
