I chewed my bottom lip. Fallon did bring me dinner last night. She didn’t stay long, but I was shocked that she really seemed to care about me. I thought about Opal and Jesse and how nice they were. Even Edith didn’t seem so bad when you got her alone. “And that Ranger fellow. Has he asked you out yet?” My cheeks flamed with heat and I panicked, suddenly worried there were parts on film I didn’t know about. “How much of the show have you seen?” “Enough to know there is something special going on between you two.” The coffee machine sputtered as he poured a cup. “You’re making him work for it, right?” “Right.” I laughed, not at all comfortable with this conversation. “That’s my girl.” Papa sipped his mug with a loud slurp. “You know, when I met your gram, she didn’t like me one bit.”
