She held Dominic’s hand and planted her most reassuring smile on her face. Rafael, Ria, and Lisa were looking at her as if she’d just suggested they all test their superpowers by jumping off the roof of the grocery store.

“You want to do what?” Rafael asked. Her son looked like he did when she’d left him at kindergarten, wide-eyed and worried. Even as a child, he’d always been so cautious and skeptical. Except when it had come to Lisa. He’d jumped into his marriage without a care in the world. She would remind him of that if she had to. This marriage was happening tonight. Afterward she was taking the delicious man home with her.

Ria clamped her hands over her bony hips and shook her head. “Did I hear you right?”

“You heard me right. We want to get married tonight,” Rosa said.

“But don’t you want it in the church?” Lisa’s cheeks were pink from the cold and perhaps the excitement. She rubbed her gloved hands together.

Rosa laughed and patted her daughter-in-law’s shoulder. “Don’t look so scandalized.”

“Is this what you want?” Rafael asked Dominic. “Because Mama can be bossy sometimes.”

“I want what she wants,” Dominic said.

“Smart man.” Ria held out her hand. “Welcome to the family.”

“Let’s get this wedding planned, then,” Lisa said.

“I’d like Ria to be my maid of honor,” Rosa said as she looked over at Ria. “Will you?”

“It has to be me,” Ria said.

“I’ll find Pepper and Maggie,” Lisa said. “Do you have a song you want?”

“‘The Way You Look Tonight,’” Dominic said so quickly that everyone laughed.

“I’d like Jubie to be my flower girl,” Rosa said. “But wait, we don’t have a ring for Dominic.”

Rafael tugged his wedding ring off and handed it to Rosa. “Use this one for tonight.”

Dominic pulled Rafael into a hug. “Thanks. I’ll take good care of it.”

“I know you will,” Rafael said. “And I know you’ll take good care of my mama.”

“You have my word.” The men shook hands as the choir began to sing “Jingle Bells.”
