“Was I?” Lizzie’s father asked, surprise in his voice. “I hadn’t been aware of it. Gosh, I hope she didn’t pick up on that.”
He paused before adding, “She did remind me of a former co-worker of mine that I never got along with. That may have carried over in my conversation with her.”
He met Lizzie’s eyes in the rearview mirror and nodded at her.
Elle looked doubtful but didn’t question him. They didn’t talk much as they drove back into town.
Pulling up to Elle’s house, they parked in the driveway.
“Thanks for the ride to the game, Mr. and Mrs. Warden,” Elle said as she opened her door to get out. “I had a lot of fun tonight.”
“We’re glad you did, Elle,” Lizzie’s mother said, smiling at her.
“I’ll call you tomorrow, Lizzie,” Elle said, as she got out of the car.
Lizzie no
