don’t want to see the odds evened, not even a little bit by a kid who won’t even be able to talk for a year or so.”

      Adelia could hardly relate to the excitement in Raylene’s voice. She wished she’d shared that sort of excitement with Ernesto during her pregnancies. His daughters had been a disappointment to him. By the time Tomas had been born, he’d lost all interest.

      “I am so happy for you,” she told Raylene. “You deserve this.”

      Raylene laughed. “I really do, don’t I? It took a long time to get past my ex’s abuse and the agoraphobia that kept me a prisoner in my own home.” She shook her head. “My gosh, I sound like I lived through my own personal soap opera.”

      “You did,” Adelia said. And every time she thought of what she’d been through with her cheating husband, considering Raylene’s past helped her to put it into perspective. No matter a person’s own difficulties, there was always someone who’d been through something just a little worse and survived. It was good to remember that.

      “You know what?” she said. “I think we deserve a little celebration. Why don’t I run next door and get some decaf or tea, if you’d prefer, and a couple of cupcakes?”

      “I’m all in favor of cupcakes, but what are we celebrating?” Raylene asked.

      “Survival,” Adelia replied at once.

      Sometimes, she thought, she didn’t give herself half enough credit for that.

      At Sweet Things, Adelia was studying the cupcake display case, trying to make a decision, when Sarah McDonald came in.

      “I need caffeine,” she announced with an edge of desperation in her voice. “I just finished a double on-air shift at the radio station.” She sighed heavily, then retracted her order. “Make it decaf.”

      “You need more than coffee, with or without caffeine,” Lynn told her. “I’ll bet you haven’t eaten all day. Pick out a couple of cupcakes on the house.” She glanced at Adelia. “You, too.”

      “You can’t be giving away your inventory,” Adelia protested, her business instincts kicking in.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
