Chapter 24: Chapter 24

“Where are Gabriel, Adam, Noah, Tamara, and Leticia?” James asked his brothers and sisters-in-law before quickly turning toward Joshua. “Gabriel and Adam are Jeremiah and Phoebe’s sons. The others belong to Jonah and Patricia.”

“With Mom and Dad,” Jeremiah replied before raising one hand to stop James from responding. “And before you comment on that, you have to know they volunteered. They’ve offered to take care of the kids just in case Phoebe and I want to go out on a romantic date.”

“Mom and Dad told Tricia and I the same thing,” Jonah added. “It’s a mere coincidence the four of us end up coming to the same restaurant.”

“And bumping into me and Joshua,” James said while doing his best to sound less annoyed.

Jeremiah chuckled. “Yeah. Sorry about that, bro. We didn’t do this on purpose.”

“We can always move to another table and leave you two lovebirds alone,” Jonah spoke up while gesturing at the other empty tables inside the restaurant.
