Chapter 12

The clerk rang up his order and Keith took the bag, put it into his Land Rover and headed back to Jason’s. Bobby, Jason, and Zach were waiting for him. They loaded up the cooler into Zach’s Escalade. Bobby rode with Keith, and they took the doll carriage in the Rover. Eloise, the cat, went with Kitty. They followed Zach as he pulled out of the driveway, and they were off to Belmar.

The men unpacked. Bobby and Keith tried to give the new couple some privacy relaxing on the grass while Zach and Jason sat on the big quilt. Kitty had Eloise in her harness, and they trotted around the perimeter of the park.

Keith saw Zach motioning them toward the blanket.

“Jason and I are going home to get some sleep. You two, as self-appointed uncles, are going to watch Kitty until ten this evening.”

“Is she going to cry?” Keith asked suspiciously.
