“the girl next door, Miss Happy-Go-Lucky. Doris Day Spending time with Casey’s family at Sam’s turned out to be a blast. Funny how I could slip back into the “nothing’s changed” gear with such ease. For that hour, I was Katie Fisher from Fairfield—Peach Queen and all-around happy-go-lucky small-town girl. Mrs. Lawson had apparently forgotten Casey and I weren’t dating, because most of her stories revolved around the two of us. Even the waitresses seemed to have forgotten. A couple of dif...ferent times I had to whisper, “We’re not a couple” to the folks who engaged us in conversation as if we were a duo. Casey was his usual jovial self, acting as if he’d never moved away to Oklahoma in the first place. At one point he slipped his arm over my shoulder. I used that opportunity to get up and walk to the dessert table. I didn’t care much for the feelings that swept over me at his nearness and did my best to push them aside.MoreLessRead More Read Less
