It’s Marina and Cash, the Westcott parents, and all three brothers and their wives who pull me in their direction. Meeting the family that matters, the people who took care of Poppy so one day I would have the privilege means everything to me. Like it does for Poppy. They showed up when no one else in her world did.
This is what receptions are for. “I’m ready to get married. How are you feeling?”
“Ready.”
The door opens, pulling everyone’s attention away from us exchanging rings. My cousin stumbles in with a woman under his arm. I could be mad, but I’ve been angry enough to last for centuries. It’s time for me to put that behind me. Shane says, “Sorry I’m late.”
“Speak of the devil.” I’m just glad he made it.
We exchanged our vows in the middle of Magnolia Café, booked the same room at the Austin Hotel where we fell in love the first time, and then six days later, we’re honeymooning in our favorite place. I say, “I would have taken you anywhere.”
Resting her book on her chest, she says, “I don’t think you understand my financial situation, now our financial situation.”
I know about some of what she’s inheriting, but since we decided we didn’t need a prenuptial agreement, the details are still a bit vague. “Which is?”
“My point is that I could have taken you anywhere as well.”
Chuckling, I add, “That’s fair. Next vacation is on you, Mrs. Faris.”
“I love Deer Lake. I couldn’t have asked for a better three-day honeymoon between tour stops.” She points a finger in my direction. “You’re not the only one who counts days away and how long we’re together when you’re fortunate to have downtime days.”
Taking her hand, we hold it to bridge the distance between our chairs. “Do you know when the book is due?”
“I haven’t gotten the schedule yet. In the meantime, I have something else due soon.”
“What is it?”
“Twins.”
