“YOU ASKED HIM WHAT?” Olivia screeches in my ear, causing me to hold the phone several inches away in fear that she will blow my eardrum out.

“I know! What was I thinking?” Olivia starts in but I talk over her, “No! Don’t answer that. I know what I was thinking. I was thinking that I can’t keep living my life for anyone but me. I was thinking that I don’t want to live with regret and that if I don’t follow my heart that’s exactly what I will do.”

“Those are all really good points, and I do seem to remember some red-headed crazy girl giving me the same speech a little more than a year ago too. All these things sound incredibly familiar.”

“Yeah, yeah, you’ve mentioned her before. Sounds like she should be scalped for all her stupid advice.”

“You know the thing is… her advice… not so stupid.”

I sigh and run my fingers through my hair, needing something to do with my hands, “Livvie… I know this sounds so incredibly ridiculous coming from a grown woman, but I’m scared.”

“Do you want Luke and I to go with you when you meet with them? Maybe having another couple with you will help diffuse any potentially uncomfortable situations.”

I actually contemplate her idea for a few minutes wondering if that’s the exact shield and protection I might need. But I decide to avoid the non-grade school thing and act like the grown up I am; I can’t ask my friend to hold my hand and do this with me. After all, staking my claim as an independent adult is in great part what this is all about. “Thanks for offering, but no. I need to do this on my own.”

“I really think it will be okay, babe. Hopefully you are going to find out that you needlessly worried.

“I hope you’re right.” Knowing there is nothing more that can be said on the topic that would be helpful, I change it. “So, what are you up to today? I’m thinking about making a personal lunch delivery to the club for Rixton. Once I’m done doing some things here at work.”

“Oh, that’s nice. I’m sure he will really appreciate that. You really do care for him.”

Her words bring Rixton’s face to my mind making me smile, “I really do.”

“Then you’re doing the right thing. You can never go wrong following your heart.”

“I hope you’re right.”

“I am. And since you asked what I’m up to, Luke and I have a cake tasting appointment today, which should be fun. Luke’s pretty excited at least.”

“A cake tasting appointment? Wow, all of the things I’m learning from you during all this wedding planning are insane. I don’t know how you keep up with it all.”

“Um, have you seen my wedding magazine collection lately? You’d be afraid. Very, very afraid.” I laugh, having no doubt she’s correct. “So, has Rixton spoken to you yet about the bachelor and bachelorette party?”

“You mean other than briefly discussing potential venue and food and drink ideas that we were each thinking about? Not really.
