Chapter 25

I’m introduced to the farmer, who has a lovely wife named Genny and two daughters, Kerri and Dana. Bobby looks down at his watch and says, “Dinner is served at six, if you want to stick around.”

Jory shakes his head and responds, “I appreciate that, but Sebastian and I have to get back to Vanmer.”

Bobby doesn’t push. Instead, he asks if we have time for a quick tour of his farm, since I’ve never seen it before.

Jory turns to me and his eyes ask the same question, and I tell him, “Let’s do it.”

After placing our chosen pumpkin into the Hummer, Bobby walks us into the massive barn with three lofts, cows, horses, two John Deere tractors, the smell of dry hay, seasonal corn, and pumpkins. Bobby is just about to pin a wagon to one of his tractors to give us a festive hayride around the farm. Unfortunately, his cell phone rings at his hip and he excuses himself. Before exiting our twosome, he calls over his right shoulder, “Make yourselves at home. Enjoy the place.”
