businesswoman who’d marched into the bakery and tried to take it over.
    Logan didn’t realize he’d been staring at her until she glanced over and caught him. He turned away in time to find Matthew watching him .
    â€œNow, Logan, I would have expected you to be the last one to show up to joint family dinners,” Matthew said. “You were amazingly talented at finding ways to avoid them.”
    Logan understood that his brother was only trying to lighten the serious mood in the room, but it didn’t make him feel any less guilty over what Matthew had said. Still, he tried his best to play along with the joke. “Could I help it if I had a date?”
    â€œWhen didn’t you have a date?” Jenna supplied.
    He didn’t mind that they all had a laugh at his expense. They needed a reason to laugh, and the reasons had been precious few the last few days. Out of his side vision, he caught sight of Caroline watching him, and he couldn’t help wondering what she saw.
    â€œI did a pretty good job of avoiding family dinners myself,” Dylan said. “Optometry conferences, you know.”
    â€œAll because you didn’t want to see me.” Jenna elbowed her fiancé and then, linking her arm with his, smiled down at the diamond solitaire on her hand. “Both of you were also trying to avoid the matchmaking schemes.”
    â€œI never missed any of those dinners,” Matthew said. “I am the good son, after all.”
    They all shared another laugh at that, and Haley reached over to ruffle her husband’s hair. “Those were some good times,” she said in a wistful voice.
    Matthew took her hand in his. “Yeah, good times.”
    Trina planted her hands on the edge of the table with a thud. “Stop it, all of you. The last thing Amy needs is for you to be thinking this way, as if she’s not going to be able to do any of things that made her happy. She will be fine, and she doesn’t need any of you naysayers holding her back.”
    â€œBut none of us said—” Caroline began, but she cut her words short when her mother frowned her way. She lifted her hands in surrender.
    Trina turned back to Logan. “And, Logan Warren, don’t you worry. You’ll have plenty of chances to avoid your mother’s amazing dinners for dates with your blonde-, brunette- or redhead-of-the-week.”
    They were laughing at him again, but at least they were laughing.
    Trina pressed her hands together as if to signal that the earlier subjects were closed. “Now how did things go at the bakery today?”
    Automatically, Logan shot a look at Caroline. She was staring back at him.
    Dylan leaned forward and rested his hands on the edge of the table. “Go ahead. Tell us. Was it as bad as the other day? We heard you two were arguing outside the back door. We would have direct quotes, but no one could hear through the steel door.”
    â€œYou heard wrong,” Logan grumbled.
    â€œThat’s the same story I—” Matthew started, but Caroline cut him off.
    â€œIt was pretty quiet today since we had no wedding cake orders this weekend.”
    â€œNo weddings on Memorial Day weekend?” Trina said.
    Logan looked up in surprise and noted that Caroline had reacted the same way. Clearly, he wasn’t the only one who’d failed to notice they were in the middle of a holiday weekend. They wouldn’t be celebrating the beginning of summer with a cookout this weekend anyway.
    Before Caroline could answer for the two of them again, Logan spoke up. “You know how small Markston is. Some weekends Mom has three weddings to bake for and other weekends, none at all.”
    â€œWe’re booked for every weekend in June,” Caroline added. “As long as new orders are coming in for fall and not going to Cakes & More instead, we’re fine.”
    Scoffing sounds came from around the table.
    â€œThat name isn’t
