“I know my sister.What’s her deal?”
“I have no idea.I guess I make her nervous.”
He needed to tell Charlotte before he proposed to Maeve.Although, there was never a perfect time to propose.
Taking a sip of his hot tea, he winced at the taste.“This shit is fucking nasty.”
Maeve laughed.“You sound like my sister.”
Chapter Thirteen
The Easter Fair washectic.Friday was always one of the busiest days, but then so was Saturday and Sunday.There were occasions they extended to Monday, but she hoped not.
Charlotte was amazing help, and with the few months of learning at beauty school, she’d picked up quite a few tricks and was taken with makeup application.Maeve kept an eye on her, as they worked their way through parents and kids alike.
The hours ticked by, and Doc would stop by the stand from time to time with coffee.He had come to realize she was a woman who liked different varieties when it came to her coffee.She loved anything with vanilla and chocolate, but she was also partial to fruit flavors and anything seasonal as well.
Wired on coffee, she got through the day, and by six, when the stall finally closed, she and Charlotte made their way toward the truck that Doc had brought them in.Doc was nowhere to be seen.
They loaded up their makeup kits, as Doc had left the keys with her.She knew he’d come to a new agreement with Sheriff Hayes, but the reason the fair always ran smoothly was because of the Chaos Monsters MC.
“I know Dad’s not here, and I’m happy about that, but I want you to know I already know, and I need to know you’re not using my dad for anything.”
Maeve’s mouth fell open, she was a little taken aback by the comment.“What?”she asked.
“I know about you and Dad.If I hadn’t seen you two making out, or holding hands and stuff like that, the gossip around town is already in full swing.”
She couldn’t help but wince.“That’s not good, is it?”
Charlotte shrugged.“I asked Mom, and she told me you two were going out, but I wasn’t to make any kind of waves, because she had already given her blessing.”
This was not going well for her.“Do you give us your blessing?”
“Yeah, of course.Why wouldn’t I?You’re amazing and I know my dad adores you.I can see it in his eyes every single time he looks at you.I think you’re pretty great.It does mean you’re my stepmom.”
Maeve gasped.“That’s right.So I can be totally mean to you now, can’t I?”
