“Wow, this place sure is romantic,” Adam said as we edged our way up the hill to the winery. Hannah had gotten her wish. There was sunshine and the rain from the day before had only added a romantic, hazy atmosphere to the vineyard. “Sure looks like you made the right decision about who to bring as your date.”

“Don’t go getting too cocky,” I warned Adam as we climbed out of the car.

“Is my car far enough out of the way?” Adam asked, looking a bit worried. “It’s going to look pretty out of place next to the limos. I don’t want to be responsible for ruining any wedding photos.”

I told him that I was sure it would be fine and that we’d better start unloading the items, or we wouldn’t just be ruining photos—we’d be ruining the entire thing. “As long as I don’t delay the bride walking down the aisle, I will be happy,” I announced, picking up an extra box of Mason jars that we’d brought just in case.

We hadn’t changed into our best clothes, not the ones that we would be wearing for the wedding, anyway. I was in jeans and t-shirt so that it wouldn’t matter if I spilled glue on them or had an accident, and Adam was wearing dark jeans and a sweater that made him look about ten years younger than he was.

We’d had to arrive at least five hours before the actual ceremony as there was still a lot of last minute decorating to do. I’d been hoping it wouldn’t be as bad as I was fearing, but I opened the door to the reception hall and gulped at the overwhelming emptiness. All twenty tables staring back at me had to be fully decorated. That included the lace tablecloths, the vintage style bows tied around all two hundred chairs, and every place setting needed a Mason jar for the guest, as well as extra jars for the flowers that we still had to arrange.

“Are you okay?” Adam asked.

“Sure. Just suddenly feeling a little lightheaded,” I said, smiling through gritted teeth. “Suddenly starting to think that even if I’d arrived at midnight last night, I wouldn’t have had time to get this all done.”

Shoot—why had I agreed to do all of this? It turned out Hannah was paying me, in the end, but it worked out to about five bucks an hour when all the time was added together.

“Why don’t we take a stroll around the grapevines before we start?” Adam asked, stretching.

“I don’t have time for that,” I said, pushing a large heavy box along the ground. “Can’t you see that there are a million things I have to do?”

“I don’t mind helping,” Adam said. “That’s all I’m here for after all, isn’t it?” He shot me a meaningful glance.

I didn’t respond. Instead, we got to work. I started tying ribbons around seats and became so involved in the task that I temporarily forgot that Adam was even there.

Adam called out to me.
