He had never seen two lovelier females than the two sitting on the couch. He liked that he had given Jilly and Becki a reason to smile. He grinned as Jilly told her mother every minute detail of their evening. He doubted that he could have done as well raising a child alone, if the situation had been reversed. Suddenly he was anxious for the wedding, afraid that somehow this was all a dream.

“So, now that we’ve all agreed to get married, when can we do it?”

“Wow. I haven’t really thought about it yet. Did you have a specific timeframe in mind? With the holidays coming up soon, it might take a while to arrange everything.”

“Okay. How big do we want to do this thing?”

“I think small and simple would be best, don’t you? Neither one of us has any family, per se, so just a family and friends thing would be good.”

“Are you sure? I want it to be everything you ever dreamed of, so if you want to invite all of Somerset Falls, it’s fine with me.”

“I’ve never even dreamt of having a wedding, so small is good for me. What about you? What were your dreams for your wedding?” She laughed teasingly.

“Well, I have a whole folder of pictures at home of what I wanted, but I’m flexible.”

“Very funny. I hope you have a picture of my wedding dress in there, because I have no idea what I want.”

“Let’s decide on a date first, then go from there. How about New Years Eve? Then we could get the married tax deduction on our taxes.”

“You’re such a romantic, thinking about taxes at a time like this…if you want New Years Eve that’s fine with me. How about you, Jilly? Do you think you can keep the date open on your calendar?”

“Yep. When is New Days Eve?”

“It’s New Years Eve, and it’s about a week after Christmas, during your vacation from school.”

“All right. It’s a done deal. I think we all know where we want to go for the reception. Am I right?” A puzzled look crossed Becki’s face.

“Tortellini’s!” Both Max and Jilly replied in unison.

“Right. I‘ll call them first thing tomorrow and see what‘s available. We can’t make any more plans until we know what’s available. Besides, I think it’s way past Miss Jillian’s bedtime. Give Max a kiss goodnight and get into your pajamas. I’ll be there in a few minutes.”

Jilly yawned on her way to her bedroom.
