Magnolia had been acting different since the crying incident about that song. Cooper chalked it up to all the last minute wedding plans. For the most part he actually believed that. They wouldn’t be able to spend time alone together tonight because of the rehearsal dinner they were at now and the farewell to being single parties later tonight. But tomorrow, after the wedding there was nothing keeping them from spending the night together.

He was looking forward to it, especially since there was nothing from keeping her from staying the entire night. Perhaps he could make her eggs in the morning and they could discuss her staying even though her wedding planning duties would be done. Diane would be on her honeymoon and wouldn’t know to question who Magnolia spent the night with. Or maybe they could stop sneaking around.

Yes they had agreed this would just be some non-emotional fun for a couple of months. Somewhere along the way that changed for him. He did the one thing he’d sworn for so long he’d never do. He fell in love and he suspected she had too. He sure hoped she had.

“You want to skip the bachelor and bachelorette parties and have a Cooper and Magnolia party?” he whispered when she came and stood by him at the bar.

“The best man and the bridesmaid can’t miss—” she stopped mid-sentence and stared at the door. “What is he doing here?”

Cooper looked around the room, but didn’t know who he was supposed to see. “What is who doing here?”

“My cousin’s former fiancé is here.”

Cooper perused the room again and saw Jack walking towards a man that looked slicker than oil on wet pavement. The exchanged would seem amicable enough to the average person, but Cooper knew Jack too well. The smile said all is well, but his stance said he was ready for a fight.

If his friend was ready, so was he. He went and stood behind the ex-fiancé, he thought he remembered his name was Alan.

“Are you afraid you’ll be left at the altar once she talks to me? Because I’m not leaving,” Alan said.

“You’re leaving. The only thing I’m afraid of is not having bail in time for the wedding,” Jack responded.

“Is that a threat?”

“He’s not threatening you, he’s warning you.” Cooper said standing behind Alan with his arms folded across his broad chest. “I mean it’s pretty brave for you to come here.”

Alan flinched at the sound of Cooper’s voice. He turned and made eye contact with Cooper’s chest before moving his eyes up inch by inch until they made eye contact. Cooper saw fear flash across the man’s face as he looked up at him.

“I wouldn’t expect any less than this kind of greeting from a couple of good ol’ boys.”

Cooper smirked. He had to give it to this guy, he didn’t back down when he was out numbered or out sized. “This ain’t a good ol’ boy greeting. Good ol’ boys greet pretentious metro-sexuals from the city with their fists.
