Chapter 14

RaeEllen appeared at Jace’s side. She glared down at Kenny. “Shame on you, Kenny Donovan.”

Kenny groaned and started to rise. Jace gave him a look and he sank back to the floor.

RaeEllen turned to Jace. “You have to go after her.”

Jace wrapped his arm around Joss’s mom. “You okay, RaeEllen?”

Her hazel eyes were dark with concern. “Oh, Jason. I swear to you, I had nothing to do with this. I didn’t say a word to Kenny—or Kimberly—about where or when you and Jocelyn were getting married.”

Jace patted RaeEllen’s shoulder. “I know you didn’t. Joss told him, weeks ago, on the phone. She was just trying to get it through his fat head that she really was moving on with her life.”

RaeEllen pressed her hand to her heart. “Oh, I just feel terrible about all this....”

“Not your fault,” he reassured her. “You and Joss have worked things out. She knows you’re on her side.”

Jackson, his wife beside him by then, asked, “What do we do now?”

It was a good question. “Hey, everyone,” Jace called out loud enough to carry to the back of the ballroom. “Looks like the wedding isn’t happening. But there’s a party waiting for all of you at the Rib Shack. I want you to head on over there and have yourselves a great time.”

People exchanged anxious glances.

Then Clay Traub said, “Great idea, Jace. Come on, everyone, let’s head for the Rib Shack.”

The guests began filing out.

Jace sent a lowering glance down at Kenny. “You’re not invited. In fact, you can get the hell out—of the clubhouse, of the resort, of the town of Thunder Canyon. Get out and don’t come back. Do it now.”

Kenny didn’t argue. He dragged himself upright and staggered out.

Jace’s brothers, his sister, their spouses and Ma and Pete stuck around to straighten up the ballroom. Kimberly and Melba stayed to help, too, as did RaeEllen. It didn’t take all that long. Twenty minutes after they started picking up the chairs, they all left together, on their way to the Rib Shack.

All except Jace. He wasn’t going to his own nonreception. Not without his runaway bride.
