Jenny’s upbeat energy made her tease Patricia a little, but she stopped herself, worried that Oliver might get the wrong idea and think she was picking on his wife.
“Horse racing is one of Golden Bay’s traditions. Some people get rich overnight, while others lose everything. It’s a place full of contradictions.”
“Have you ever been to the racetrack before?” she asked.
Patricia nodded. “Yeah, I went with my dad when I was a kid.”
“Did your dad like it too?”
“He mostly went with others for business.”
“That must’ve been a long time ago. Back then, the racetrack wasn’t this high-tech or comfortable. Did your dad ever come back in recent years?”
Patricia’s lashes lowered. “He… passed away a long time ago.”
Jenny froze. She straightened up, suddenly serious. “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”
Great. Way to go, bringing up her late father.
“It’s alright. Honestly, I should thank you for reminding me. Sometimes I almost forget about it.”
Jenny quickly changed the subject, telling funny stories about pregnancy and sharing tips on taking care of a baby.
In the end, Jenny grinned. “All you need to do is focus on having the baby. Oliver’s got plenty of experience being a dad. He’s handled kids of every age.”
“Once the baby’s here, you’ll see. He’ll be the one waiting on you hand and foot.”
“You mean Sara and the others?” Patricia asked.
Jenny laughed. “So you do know about them.”
Inside, once Patricia had left, the group finally got down to business.
