Chapter Eleven

Jenny took my hand, jerked me off the ground, and we blinked to the trailer office. She dragged me up the front steps and in through the door. Standing in what would be the living room, she waved her hand and the room shifted to look just like my old trailer.

“What the hell?” I asked. “Why are we here?”

“You need a reminder of things,” she said.

“What kind of spell is this?”

“Would you shut up for five minutes?”

“Excuse me,” I muttered.

She inhaled deeply, then released the breath. “Grace, when you moved to Shady Grove you had nothing. Jeremiah moved you here after the break-up with Remy, which you now know was a much bigger mess since his ex-wife ended up with Tennyson for a time. Anyway. You immediately fell in love with a little baby girl and a dog. You opened your heart up to the possibility of loving something other than yourself.”

“Wow! You make me sound like a great person.”

“You weren’t. You were a perfect fairy, but something happened here in Shady Grove. Your eyes were opened before you even realized how much you had overlooked in the days leading up to the moment you took the title of Queen of the Exiles.”

“How did I miss all of it? I look back and think of how stupid I was not to notice.”

“You didn’t want to see past your own problems other than with Winnie, of course.”

“And thanks to Dylan and his persistence, I opened my eyes to see what was there.”

“We wouldn’t be having a wedding today without him. I know this isn’t the way you saw everything happening, but you are damn blessed. Levi Rearden will love you no matter how much you torture him until the day both of you cease living on this earth.”

“He’s a love talker,” I said.

“And? So is Tennyson. I know what he went through for us to finally be together. He had other women and I had other men, but I can tell you that no one fulfills me like that man. Could you imagine your life going forward without him?”

“No, of course not, but this isn’t how I saw it happening. I want Levi. I just don’t want this hullabaloo.” I raised my hands and stomped my foot for emphasis. Her glamour on the room faded.

“Is he not worth it?” she asked. “And you look ridiculous stomping your foot like a child. Very queenlike.”

“When did you decide that you would take over this motherly role in my life?” I exclaimed.

“You’ve never had a mother,” she said.

“And, I don’t need one!”

“Apparently, you do, acting this way. Grace, it’s time you put on your big girl panties and be the queen we all know you are inside. No more of this headstrong nonsense,” she scolded.

“Headstrong is what has kept me alive despite losing Cohen, losing Dylan, and having all of this hidden from me for my entire life. How dare you!”

“I just don’t want to see you making the same mistakes that I did!”

She had been a queen, and she did manage to muck that up.
