They introduced Linc to Grant’s friend Dan Torrington and his girlfriend, Kara Ballard, when they joined the group.

Evan and Owen were playing “Home” by Phillip Phillips. The combination of the awesome music, the glorious sunset over the Salt Pond, the table full of good friends and the handsome man sitting next to her had Jenny relaxing a bit. She was determined to enjoy the perfect evening despite the lingering disquiet over last night’s events.

The conversation flowed easily, as did the laughs. Mac and Grant grilled Adam about his trip with Abby to the mainland to visit Janey, Joe and baby P.J. in the hospital.

“The baby is so cute,” Abby said.

“I think he looks just like me,” Adam said. “He’s got my strong, handsome jaw.”

“Grant, will you please punch him in his strong, handsome jaw?” Mac said from the other end of the table.

“Oh, I’d love to,” Grant said, “but I can’t endanger the tools of my profession.” He wiggled his fingers dramatically.

Adam snorted and nearly choked on a mouthful of beer. “He doesn’t dare risk his digits on this jaw.”

Abby made a fist and playfully landed it against her boyfriend’s jaw.

“You’ll pay for that,” he said meaningfully as the others groaned.

Up on the stage, Evan picked up a banjo and gave it a quick tune.

“He plays the banjo, too?” Jenny asked, incredulous.

“He plays everything,” Grace replied, watching her fiancé with pride. “He’s so talented.”

“Always has been,” Mac said. “He used to drive us crazy when he was learning how to play the guitar and the piano. He didn’t always sound as good as he does now.”

“Haven’t played the banjo in a while, so here goes nothing,” Evan said into the microphone as he launched into the complicated banjo intro to “I Will Wait” by Mumford & Sons.

“They haven’t played this before,” Mac said.

“It’s new,” Laura said. “They’ve been working on it.”

“They’re so good,” Maddie said.

All eyes were fixed on Evan and Owen, which was how Jenny didn’t immediately notice when Alex walked into the bar. It took Grace calling out his name for Jenny to realize he’d come in with another guy who looked an awful lot like him.

“Over here,” Grace said, gesturing for them to pull up chairs at their table. “You guys all know AM and PM, right?”

“Can’t say I do,” Linc said.

“Alex and Paul Martinez,” Grace said. “Evan’s friends from high school.”
