Chapter 14

Megan and the others took their stacks of envelopes into the dining room. Annabelle laid sheets of stamps on the table. “We don’t want to exclude you fellows.” She smiled in her beautiful way. “There are only about a hundred of these.”

Symon lifted his chin and sniffed the aroma when Willamina brought a pot of freshly made coffee and set it on the sideboard. Aunt B gave a warning. “Wedding invitations and coffee are not a good combination on the dining room table.” He sat beside Annabelle and reached for the stamps.

“Just be sure they’re not crooked or upside down,” Annabelle said, looking at Symon and then at Noah. Symon smirked and thrust his stamps toward her. She hit his arm and then they grinned at each other.

Megan loved their playful way. She thought of Michael. He’d had an outgoing way about him that attracted others. At least he did before he had the flu that seemed to have taken his energy. She couldn’t blame him for that.

She’d detected a bit of humor about Noah as he and Symon lifted their eyebrows and moved farther down the table to apply stamps to addressed envelopes as they were finished. Noah seemed serious, applying stamps to the corners of the envelopes carefully and deliberately. The fingernails on his strong-looking hands were well-groomed. She supposed he supervised more than he wielded a hammer. If he gave a report to Michael on how she was doing, he’d probably say, after all her tears, he might need to build that ark he’d mentioned to Lizzie.

But the tears hadn’t been about Michael. At least, not all of them. And that’s what Aunt B wanted to talk to them about. But for now, the conversation was about the wedding plans.

The outdoor wedding would take place on Miss B’s beautiful front lawn and the reception would be out back.

“It’s going to be a simple service,” Annabelle said. “People see me when I speak at churches or model and crowds go to Symon’s book signings. We want it to be more private than that.”

Symon explained further. “One of our songs will be ‘The Love of God,’ a hymn that says His love is far greater than tongue or pen can ever tell. The tongue refers to Annabelle’s speaking engagements and my writing novels.”

He glanced at each of his friends. “Thanks to everyone here,” he said, “I realize the importance of allowing God to be first in our lives. We want to acknowledge that we are bonded, and led, by more than human love.”

Then Symon addressed Noah directly. “I have not made a lot of friends here and only a few are coming from New York and other places. Noah, of course, you’re invited.”

“And bring a friend or two if you’d like,” Annabelle added.

“Like you, Symon,” Noah said, “I’ve been away from Savannah for a while. I’d like to invite just my parents, if that’s all right.”

“Give me the address,” Miss B said and wrote as he stated it.
