Gabe took a sip of cola. “Joel told me the party is an annual event and lots of fun.”
“It’s one of the social events of the summer,” Michelle confirmed. “I wouldn’t miss it.”
Tripp nodded. “I’ll be there.”
Gabe’s settled his gaze on Adrianna, who sat quietly sipping her tea. “What about you?”
“No invitation.” Adrianna spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, her eyes giving nothing away.
Michelle reached across the table and covered her friend’s hand with hers. “That had to be an oversight. I’ll talk to Mary Karen and—”
“Please don’t.” Bright patches of pink dotted Adrianna’s cheeks. “It’s not a big deal.”
“Go with me.” Tripp met her gaze. “As my plus one.”
Adrianna shook her head and politely demurred.
“We could all go together.” Michelle glanced around the table. “It’ll be fun. C’mon, Anna. Say you’ll do it.”
Still the midwife hesitated until Tripp clasped her hand in his. “Please say you’ll come. It won’t be the same without you.”
