They were nice guys who made Seth feel welcome. He soon learned this wasn’t their first rodeo when it came to roofing barns. They gossiped and razzed one another throughout, but the project got done quicker than Seth and Zeke had thought. At noon the men’s wives showed up with a potluck. Seth found himself missing Lila. Missing her so acutely, he opted to skip lunch with the group and instead drove to the café. It was busy. Seth looked around for Rory since school had ended the day before. He went to the pass-through. Lila spotted him when she set an order on the sill and came out. “This is a surprise. I thought you were roofing all day.” He explained the convergence of helpful neighbors. “With so many hands we finished early. Then the wives brought food. It turned into a couples party. I felt out of place. Nothing any of them said or did.” He zeroed in on Lila with longing. “I just wished you’d been there.”
