Chapter Sixteen

Caitlin’s attitude toward Aaron hadn’t changed. She was still angry with him for tricking her and she didn’t like his name any better than she ever had. But Sheila’s interest annoyed her. She wasn’t proud of that reaction, but there it was.

It stuck in her craw that he’d been paying attention to some interloper from Jersey when he was supposed to be crazy about her damn it. Even if she didn’t want him.

How jacked up was that? She partly blamed the black shirt. She’d watched for him to come in because she hadn’t wanted him to catch her by surprise. Coming face-to-face with him without warning could be a disaster.

If she responded inappropriately—yelping or jumping away, she’d attract unwanted attention. Keeping this secret required vigilance over her emotions for the next two days.

He’d been one of the last to arrive, which wasn’t surprising. He had to be as nervous about seeing her again as she was about seeing him. Then he’d walked in, sexy aviators on and wearing a striking black shirt that molded to his torso and showed off his pecs.

The gold piping was a great touch and emphasized his broad shoulders. When he’d finally made his way to her side of the room, she’d managed to confirm that the piping brought out the gold flecks in his eyes.

No wonder Sheila had wanted to eat him up with a spoon. Had he always been that good looking? Logically, the answer had to be yes. She just hadn’t allowed herself to notice.

Now that she was hypersensitive to his presence, she grudgingly admitted that whether he called himself Raven or Aaron, he was hot. So what? He was still the guy who’d perpetrated a hoax to further his own selfish agenda. Not nice.

And his name—at least most of the time—was Aaron Donahue. It might rank one thousandth in popularity with the rest of the country, but it was her least favorite name of all.

Speaking with him briefly had lowered her stress level and demonstrated that she could hold a conversation without wanting to smack him. Good thing she’d calmed down. Virginia’s new lighting required all her concentration. She had to adjust her settings constantly.

But meeting the challenge proved to be the invigorating task she needed, and these folks deserved her best. Being chosen as the photographer for this epic event was a privilege she didn’t take lightly.

She’d worked with Virginia on many events, but none as important as this. Virginia had given her all to provide a grand occasion for her son and daughter as they wed their chosen mates. Her husband Warren had worked with each couple to craft memorable vows.

Their loving efforts put her own drama in perspective. By the end of the rehearsal, she’d mellowed out. She could even smile at herself for being annoyed by Sheila.

As members of the wedding party started filtering out of the building, Badger came over to ask if she needed help packing up.

“Thanks, but most of this stays here. I’ll just take a small camera bag over to the GG since all you want are candid shots.
