“There’s hope for both of us, Thistle.” She grinned at her. Maybe it was time to convince her to put on their finest dresses and go parading around the town, just for fun. They were both still fun and youthful, so surely they could turn a few heads, even if nothing came from it. She made a mental note to ask her about it later.

Giggling then at Dahlia, Zin leaned against her. “Sorry, sorry.” She absolutely didn’t want to jinx her sister, especially when she was as happy as she was. She nodded in agreement with Daff’s statement about a summer wedding being fitting for her. Oh, and the cake they’d make? It would be delicious. “I would have gone with you, Tis. Just to scope him out a bit more.” There was still time for that though, along with catching Mr. Grimstone had the most opportune moment. Then she flicked her gaze toward Daff and grinned. “Calla could be though, and I’m sure she’d be happy to report back to us.”

Zin straightened as she took a pastry before taking a bite. She had a lot of free time, but it was about to be occupied with getting to know two gentlemen attached to her sisters.
