Chapter 378

Enya begins showing me how they make sure that the food is laid out so it’s easy for the pack to access and create a line so they can get food quickly and easily before going to sit and eat.

“If you don’t set it up right, it can be a real problem. We basically have a two-hour window for pack members to come get food, but if the food isn’t laid out properly, then a hundred pack members won’t be able to get through the line in time.”

“Like what? Give me an example of how you could put the food out of order,” I say, just as Shane walks up.

“T, what are you doing?” My very first thought is that he’s using my nickname again. Christian was right, which he usually is, even if it is unbearably annoying to admit. Me helping Shane is making a difference.

“I’m helping with food preparation,” I say proudly, hoping he sees that I’ve been working hard to help Enya. I know Christian said I should figure it out for myself, but I would never, in a million years, have figured this out for myself.

When I ask if he’s able to meet for dinner later, I’m thrilled that he says yes. As soon as he walks away to get our picnic basket, I turn back to Enya.

“If you need to go…” she begins.
