Chapter Eleven

Becca scoured the town square, confirming that everything was in its place for the social. The tables were draped with gingham blue and white tablecloths ready for the food the townsfolk would be bringing with them. Places for people to sit and eat were scattered throughout the space. An area was cleared for games, plus another section for the band and dancing that was planned for later in the evening.

Even though Becca knew Mary and her cronies would take credit for the entire event, she wanted to make sure everything went smoothly for her first night with Garrett since they recommitted to marrying each other.

“Everything looks wonderful, Becca. You guys did a great job,” Mark praised. “This is going to be the best social in Little Ridge history.”

“Thank you, Mark, that’s very sweet of you to say. I just want this to be perfect.”

“We’ve done all we can,” Julia said, coming up beside her cousin. “Ed should be getting here any time now, along with the rest of the town.”

Within a few minutes, people arrived in droves, filling up the area until the crowd was thick and buzzing with commotion. Garrett arrived at her side, a grin on his face, as he held out a bouquet of wild flowers. “I got these for you.”

“You didn’t have to do that,” she gushed, her cheeks tinging pink as she took the flowers. “What is everyone going to think?”

“That I love you and we’re getting married,” Garrett explained. “I hope that doesn’t embarrass you.”

Becca reached out and placed her free hand on the side of his face. “I could never be embarrassed that you love me.”

“I’m glad to hear that.” He glanced down at her dress and smiled. “I see you’re wearing a new blue dress. You look gorgeous in it.”

Becca had made a trip to the dress shop in town, wanting to splurge on a dress for the special occasion. She was immediately drawn to the satin, navy blue dress with white trim. She knew Garrett was going to love it. The fitted bodice and flared skirt would not only look great on her figure, but be perfect for dancing.

“Thank you; I bought it especially for today.”

“Well, you did an excellent job. It might be the prettiest dress I’ve ever seen, which means, it has to be documented for posterity’s sake,” Garrett glanced around, then gestured with his head behind him. “We should go have a picture taken of us.”

They made their way over to the large three-legged wooden square contraption. The man behind it explained what they needed to do. As they got situated in front of the camera, Garrett pulled her left hand up and turned it back and forth. “You put your engagement ring back on.”

“Of course I did. I told you I would marry you.”

“I’m just surprised you didn’t throw it away.”

“The thought had crossed my mind,” she admitted with shame. “But I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I put it in my jewelry box instead.”

“I’m glad for that.
