We may not have made our wedding vows yet, but we had made other vows to each other. We’d promised to stop investigating. His was more of a professional promise. He’d told me that he was going to take serious strides to find a new career path. A complete change of pace. For me, it was a little more of a casual commitment. I’d never actually made a living out of being a detective, although I’d always thought that would be a very cool thing to do. It was always something I’d just done in my spare time. So, you would have thought it would have been easy to let go.

It just wasn’t that easy. I would dream about Rogan’s body. Try to remember the details of that night. Of who had gone into the kitchen. Try to figure out which one of my former friends and co-workers had wanted Rogan dead.

I shook the thoughts off again. Maybe I just needed a job. Hiking and sitting in nature had been good for a few weeks, but now I was starting to get as restless as Jackson, so I started working on my resume.

Not that there weren’t other things to fill my time with. I had a wedding to plan after all, and Sue was the first person I called. She came the following weekend to help me with all the myriad of preparations. I was starting to get entirely overwhelmed. I’d never even been involved with wedding planning before, let alone planned my own. I was starting to see why Simona had needed so much time off to plan hers. If only I could call on her for help.

Sue climbed out of the car and greeted me with a wave. She was wearing cat’s eyes sunglasses and a black and white polka dot dress. I had an arm full of wedding magazines all ready as I started to hurry down the driveway “Help!” I called out.

“I don’t see why you can’t just have the wedding here,” she gasped when she first saw the cottage on the lake. And when she saw the view out back, she was completely flabbergasted about why we would ever have the wedding anywhere else.

“Here? At the house we live in?” I laughed a little. I could see what she was getting at. But we spent all day, every day at the place.

“Why not? It’s more beautiful than most wedding venues.”

I considered it for a moment, then shook my head.

“This is where we live,” I said with a little laugh. “Neither of us have jobs, remember. It’s beautiful, but a change of scenery for the day will be appreciated. I was thinking of going more traditional for the wedding anyway. I was thinking about a chapel?” I asked, making it sound like I was a little unsure, waiting for Sue to give me her permission or at least a say that this was an acceptable thing to do.

“Sounds perfect,” she said with a smile. “But the bridesmaids should get ready here by the lake, and have our photographs taken here.
