I’m a lot more handsome than he is.”
    “Shea, I don’t think—” Fiona bit her lip nervously, her hands fidgeting as she tried to come up with an excuse not to invite him.
    “Come on, I know a great place a couple blocks from here,” Kieran interjected before she could say anything further, then he ushered them toward the exit.
    Fiona shot him an unconvinced frown before finally following him.

Chapter 5
    “Which flavor are you going to get?” Kieran asked Shea as they stood in front of the ten different frozen yogurt dispensers and tried to decide.
    “No-sugar-added vanilla yogurt,” Shea responded automatically.
    Kieran wrinkled up his nose. “Really? You like that?”
    Shea shrugged as Fiona grabbed a paper bowl off the shelf and handed it to her. She was doing her best to ignore the fact that Kieran was here at all or that this felt way too much like a date.
    And she didn’t date.
    “Here, hold on a second.” Kieran took the bowl out of her hand and instead handed Shea several tiny little paper sampling cups. “Let’s try a bunch of different flavors and see what you like.”
    “Kieran, she always gets the vanilla. Just let her get what she wants.” Fiona had been here enough times with Shea to know that Shea wasn’t going to change her mind about what she ate. Her routines were too ingrained to be changed now, and honestly, it just wasn’t worth a possible public meltdown.
    “How’s she going to know what she wants in life if she doesn’t give something new a try?” Kieran’s sea-blue eyes looked at her pointedly. Fiona looked away, suddenly aware of the fluttering sensation in her stomach as she considered the meaning behind his words.
    “I like the vanilla flavor,” Shea said again, her voice less sure this time. She took the sample cups from him anyway, and he helped her fill them with various different flavors.

    “I’m going to go get a smoothie,” Fiona told them as she walked to the front of the shop and placed an order with the clerk, keeping note of the two of them out of the corner of her eye.
    Slowly, Shea tried each one and her smile grew as she did. Fiona tilted her head to the side and watched with confusion as her little sister laughed, actually laughed, as Kieran made a funny face at a sample he’d just tasted. Between laughs, they were talking in hushed tones conspiratorially, and Fiona wondered what he was saying to her. Shea looked happy, like any other child you’d see in a frozen yogurt shop.
    The moment warmed her heart. She wanted for Shea everything that other kids had. They were already at a disadvantage with the loss of their mother and the fact that their dad had not stuck around for more than a few days after Shea’s birth, so Shea’s autism only added to the difficulties. Fiona frowned at the thought, sipping her smoothie after the clerk handed it to her.
    As the cool drink slid down her throat, she turned back to watch Shea and Kieran. They were finished with samples and were now filling up regular bowls. Shea’s was already loaded high with toppings, and Fiona pursed her lips, worrying about the consequences of too much sugar.
    She decided she could overlook it today. After all, despite whatever difficulties had been placed in their lives, Fiona didn’t want Shea to be any different. Her disabilities aside, Shea had the most gentle and sincere spirit of anyone she’d ever known.
    She’d never want that to change.
    “Look, Fi!” Shea called her by her nickname, and Fiona’s brows raised. She hadn’t heard that name in a while. She hadn’t even realized it until now, but she had really missed it.

    “That’s a lot of ice cream, Shea.” Fiona smiled at her little sister.
    “It’s not ice cream. It’s frozen yogurt, but it tastes kind of the same. I didn’t get the vanilla flavor today. I got cookies and cream with caramel and Oreos and peanut butter cups and cookie dough pieces.” Shea proudly held the bowl out in front of her, surveying it
