CHAPTER FORTY-ONE

June 15, 11:45 P.M.

Tonight, the junior suite hosts another bridal couple, this time in the form of Tom and Clint. Although their marriage is not recognized by every state in the union, it is at least known in this one. The ceremony was very simple, and the party downstairs highly memorable.

“It was really nice to see your brother,” Tom comments, unlacing his shiny dress shoes.

“I know.”

“Where’s he been hiding this whole time?”

Untying his bow tie, Clint answers, “You know, it’s the strangest thing. He pretty much fell off the face of the planet until a few months ago.”

“Might have something to do with that girl he’s dating – what a spitfire.”

“Do you think she would make a good sister-in-law?”

“Well, she has to live up to me, the best brother-in-law in the world. Where did they meet anyway? No offense to your brother, but I think you got most of the handsome genes in the family.”

“Flattery will get you everywhere, darling. Actually, it’s funny, they met back in high school. They broke up during college, but he didn’t date much after her. I’m pretty sure he’d still be single if she hadn’t come back in the picture.”

Tom stretches and says, “I have a silly question.”

“Shoot.”

“What’s your favorite thing about me?”

“You didn’t get that from my vows?” Clint answers, referring to their emotional exchange earlier in the day.

“I just like hearing you say it.”

“Fine – I love how you work tirelessly for others. I like your shoulders. I like that I’m taller than you. I love that you have a strange fascination with obscure comics. I love that you cook that best banana pancakes I’ve ever tasted. I love that, in your own way, you make me want to be a better man. I meant what I said earlier – when I look at you, I know I’ve found the person I’m meant to spend the rest of my life with.”

Tom kisses his cheek and says, “You really are perfect.”

“I also love how worried you get about our dog.”

“You think he’ll be okay while we’re honeymooning? You know Eddie is very specific.”

Eddie is their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and their pride and joy. The pet was a Christmas present from Clint to Tom their first holiday season together. Clint answers, “Jennifer comes highly recommended.”

Tom answers, “You know what?”

“What’s that?”

“Enough talking.” Tom kisses his new husband’s face gently, and taking his hand, leads him to the bedroom. “Let’s consummate this marriage.”
