Sad Songs For Sad People

Quinn

The next couple days were hectic to say the least. Between Georgette’s inconsistent tastes and trying to find vendors with availability for less than two weeks from now, this wedding was going to be so much harder than I expected. Usually I had months to plan, not weeks, but I’d get it done.

This wasn’t impossible. Just annoying. Mainly because Georgette was just so god awful. I’d finally settled on not having her and my dad come with me to meet with potential vendors, instead opting to just Facetime her or send her pictures of different things, because every single time I took her anywhere, without fail she stuck her foot in her mouth and made an enemy.

Honestly, the woman was truly horrible. Like, cookie-cutter villain horrible. The kind of awful that you couldn’t believe existed until you met her. On the surface, she looked sweet enough. A little shallow and vapid maybe, but the minute she opened her mouth her ignorance and just downright awfulness were vile. I couldn’t even begin to fathom what her parents were like to allow that sort of behavior.

Oh God, speaking of parents, I still needed to send out the invitations to them and everyone else, like, yesterday. Though that wasn’t entirely my fault, since she hadn’t gotten me the finalized list yet.

So far I’d gotten the food sorted, the flowers hopefully figured out—if Georgette didn’t change the theme again, and her and my dad had an in-home cake tasting later that evening that I wasn’t invited to, thankfully. Georgette’s eyes had glowed with mischief at the mention of how romantic it would be to eat the cake at home. In bed. Naked. Off each other. I’d stopped listening at that point. At least Dad had the decency to look embarrassed at that.

Between all of that, and Hux working late the last day and a half to cover the other hands’ responsibilities while they got ready for a rodeo in Bandera tonight, we’d hardly done anything nice together. But it was just as well, he’d been tense since the mention of Travis and the other hands competing.

I know a part of him wanted to do it. It was easy to see in the wistful set of his jaw, or hear it in the longing sound in his voice. I’d learned pretty quick, though, Hux was stubborn and prideful and he rarely liked to open up right away about something that upset him. He’d tell me eventually, or he’d get over it.

I wasn’t about to ask and ruin the good thing we had going.

And it was a really good thing, even though I knew it was a bit—okay, a lot—premature. But the past couple days had been a dream overall. Hux had come over every night since Tuesday. Whether he’d stayed once I’d fallen asleep or not, I’m not completely sure. When I woke up each morning, he was gone, but with the whole slew of chores he had to do, it wasn’t surprising.
