The drive to Capeside wasn't that bad. Amy slept most of the time,
which was a blessing in itself. They both took turns at the wheel and
managed to reach Capeside city limits by 5:45 that evening. As Joey drove
in to town she couldn't help but remember the last time she visited, which
was a little over two years ago. She wondered how she could have let so
much time pass between visits and was anxious to see her sister again. She
snapped back to reality as she drove past the Icehouse, refurbished and
open for business. And from what she could tell a very popular place to
eat. She looked over at Jen with question in her eyes. "Did you know the
Icehouse was reopened?"
Jen looked at her from the book that she was reading. Her eyes quickly moved to Amy who was asleep in the back seat the whole time wondering how much she should tell Joey. "Yeah, I knew it had been reopened. Almost two years now." She said as her eyes drifted back to her book. She was silently hoping that Joey wouldn't want her to go into any details, after all she had made a promise to a friend.
Joey was stunned, two years and no one bothered to tell her that her old family restaurant is back open. "Why didn't you tell me, or for that matter why didn't Bessy tell me?" She questioned, not really expecting a response. "So, where do you want me to drop you off?" Jen placed her bookmark in the book and closed it before turning to Joey again. She looked back just in time to see her baby start to stir.
"You could take me to Jack's house and we can go from there, I am starving. And I am pretty sure Amy is too." Said Jen as she reached back to her now a wake baby.
Joey thought for a minute and agreed, "That sounds great, one problem. Where does Jack live?" She asked as she realized that she had no idea, how could she have lost touch with so many people? Jen gave Joey directions to the house and they were there in a matter of minutes. Jen got out of the car and stretched her legs before crawling into the backseat to pick up Amy out of her car seat. Jen pulled Amy's dipper bag onto her left shoulder and began to walk up to the front door. She shifted Amy slightly as Joey rang the doorbell. Jack quickly answered the door and a huge smile came over his face as he recognized his guests.
