Chapter 11

“Where are the flowers?” Dad shouts over the din of nearly two dozen people working furiously to set up the main dining room for a wedding party of seventy-five people.

It’s the day of the Azzeritti Comofort wedding and every single person on staff is working today.

May weddings are notoriously unpredictable around here. We’ve learned over the years to have both indoor and outdoor seating available should a freak snowstorm or spring shower roll in, but it looks like the bride is in luck today. I’d like to believe that the clear blue sky spotted with white puffs of clouds up above is a good omen for the rest of her marriage.

It’s also unusually warm. Warm enough that I’m wearing my sister’s Chloe peacock blue minidress with a ruffle collar. It’s safe to say Jackie is never getting this one back.

“Calling the florist again right now,” Nan yells back.

You know it’s all hands on deck if Nan has been enlisted to pitch in. Elvis jump up on one of the tables and almost scream. It’s taken me hours to make sure each tablecloth is pristine.

Nan grabs him and pats the fat bastards head before she drops him.

My job is to steam linens and set the tables. Which I’ve been doing since 7 am this morning. Nan catches me yawning for the third time and makes a face.

“Go get some coffee and I’ll finish the steaming.”

“I’m fine. I only have a few runners left to do,” I tell her as I lay out the pale sage cloth down one of the long banquet tables.

I’m not fine. I’m exhausted. Writer’s block is a bitch.

I must have started and scrapped the article on Jake and the hockey program five times in the last four days. Something about it didn’t seem right. It sounded stiff and boring. In other words, like hard news. And that’s not what Hal asked for. So late last night, I started over.

After staring at the computer screen for a solid hour and a half, I just began typing. I don’t know, maybe it was the combination of too much caffeine and mixed emotions, but my fingers started moving and didn’t stop till dawn. It’s finally done. And before I second guess myself for the fifth time, I plan on emailing it to him tomorrow.

I haven’t seen Jake since the night he drove me home from Gina’s place four days ago. Since the near kiss, as I like to call it. Since the night he opened the door a little more and let me in. The same night he said the quiet words out loud.

He thinks we have chemistry.

I wasn’t sure whether to believe my ears, but frankly it’s a relief to know I’m not the only one feeling it for once. I’m so used to pining from afar I have no idea how to behave when it’s reciprocated.

Where that leaves us––I don’t know. Or takes us, for that matter. But I’m more than willing to find out. And hey, it’s not like I’m getting ahead of myself.
