Chapter 12

"This looks amazing, doesn't it?" I asked as Cub and I walked to the courtyard on the other side of the farmhouse where the wedding was taking place. Logan would have gladly had first class wedding planners and things flown in from all over the world, but Rachel wasn't like that. She wanted to keep things simple. Rather than sitting in chairs, the wedding guests would sit on colorful quilts and blankets that were spread all over the ground. I had been to concerts in the park that had a similar atmosphere to the one Cub and I encountered in the field when we walked out there.

Children and staff from all three campuses were decked out in their Sunday best, waiting for the ceremony to begin. There was still fifteen minutes to go, but most of the guests had already found their spots on blankets and were bantering back and forth from one side of the courtyard to another. Everyone was in amazing spirits, and I took a deep breath as we walked and surveyed the scene. I had a nostalgic feeling, and I made a conscious effort to remember details so I could call them up later.

Logan had hired a photographer who was planning on doing family pictures after the ceremony. I noticed him discreetly taking pictures along the edge of the action, and I smiled, knowing I could relax on trying to remember every detail. Cub and I were sitting on a big blanket in the front with our parents, and we walked toward it.

We made our way at a slow pace since he stopped and spoke to just about everyone we passed, introducing me to people from the other centers. Our goal was to eventually make it to the blanket, but we got stopped every few seconds by someone coming to greet us or pet Tess.

I smiled as I talked and laughed with everyone, but I was sort of in a surreal frame of mind the whole time. There were just so many emotions coursing through me that I was on autopilot. I put my hand on Tess's head, wondering if I had dreamed the whole thing about Cub saying I could take her home with me. The Jerry Lee Lewis song had to be a dream as well, for that matter.

I was dazedly watching two girls giggle as they tried but failed to show me their secret handshake when Cub's arm came around my shoulders. I had trouble catching my breath just like I did every time he did that.

"She's staying with me," he said. "We're kidnapping this one and not letting her go back to the states."

I turned to see that I had never met the lady Cub was talking to. "Charlotte, this is Smaller Mary," he said. "She works with us at our North facility.

Mary bowed and smiled broadly as she shook my hand. "You are to marry Cub?" she asked.

Her accent was so thick that it took me a second to decipher her question.
