Best Out Of Them

“Another wedding,” Kelsey said to him the following Saturday. They were in Boston for the day for Hailey Bond’s wedding to Rex Knight.

If Duke thought it was odd she wasn’t having it at The Retreat that her family owned and one of the most beautiful wedding venues on the Northeast, he kept that to himself.

He supposed it made sense it was in Boston where Hailey had lived her whole life and had her firm. She had a lot of clients that would be in attendance, the same with Rex and his investment firm.

Both Rex and Hailey had satellite offices on the island, but he knew it would be harder to get more people to the island for the wedding, on the ferry, and staying the night, than to Boston when most of his family had homes in both locations anyway.

He and Kelsey didn’t, but their parents' home was where they’d both stay tonight.

“Yep,” he said. “And another Saturday I’m not working.”

“Get over it,” Kelsey said. “You don’t need to work seven days a week.”

“I don’t,” he argued. “I take Wednesdays off.”

“Wow. One day,” Kelsey said.

They were waiting for their parents to leave for the church. He and Kelsey were riding together, but they’d leave the same time.

“Are you two fighting again?” his mother asked.

“No. We don’t fight,” Kelsey said. “We bicker. I was telling Duke he should take more than one day off a week.”

“Your brother knows what he is doing. I’m sure he might work fewer hours than you in a week.”

He grinned over that. “I’m not so sure.”

“You cook fewer hours than I sit at a desk,” Kelsey said. “But we know running the business, well, now two businesses, is what is taking up more time.”

“That’s right,” he said. “There is more to it, as you know. I’m thrilled someone else is dealing with the marketing now.”

“You’re welcome for the suggestion months ago,” Kelsey said. “It’s showing in your profits too.”

He knew that. He didn’t need his sister to tell him when he could see how busy it was.

“You think you know it all,” he said.

“Because I do,” Kelsey said.

“Let’s go, children,” his father said.

They left and drove to the church. He sat there through Hailey’s wedding looking around at all his other cousins that were hooking up with people. He’d recently found out that Roark was seeing someone. It’s like they were falling left and right around him.

Marriages. Pregnancies. Engagements. Babies. The Bond family was moving on and he and Kelsey seemed to be the pigs stuck in the mud.

That was wrong. He was dating someone, but no one knew.

When they got to the reception later on and were waiting for their food to come out, Kelsey asked him, “How is Hadley doing? Aside from the marketing. How are the two of you?”

He should have figured his sister would do this and he decided there was no reason to not fill them in, but he was going to make sure no one else knew. He didn’t want it making the rounds at this wedding.
