Chapter Nine

“Everything looks wonderful,” Cali said, later that morning as she looked at the decorations for the wedding. “Just beautiful.”

“It’ll look better when it’s not set up in a storage area.” Shar looked around the room with a critical eye. She wanted this wedding to be wonderful for Cali and Grant. And setting everything up here so that they could get a small sense of how it was actually going to come together out on the beach had been her idea.

Not only did it need to be picture-perfect for Cali, they were using the wedding in some advertisements on social media and in brochures. Because there was a lot of interest in Grant Ellington, the famous sea life artist and his wedding, Shar and Jillian had talked Cali into letting the resort gain some of that free publicity. But it had to be perfect.

Shar studied the white and soft blues that matched the water perfectly and the ribbons and lace, satisfied that this was going to be an outstanding wedding for her sister. The idea tugged hard at her heart in an unexpected moment of wistfulness.

“Put the water and the Lookout Point in the backdrop and it will be spectacular,” she said.

“The wedding of the year.” Jillian wiped tears from her eyes. “I am so overwhelmed. I’m speechless so I can’t imagine how I’ll be on the actual wedding day. Oh, Cali, this is what you deserve and this time you’re going to get all your dreams.”

Cali wiped tears from her own eyes and Shar had to fight not to start blubbering herself. Her heart wasn’t quite as emotionally swayed as her sisters’ but she would be an ice queen not to feel overwhelmed by the moment. “Y’all are going to have me blubbering soon.” She laughed and wiped the dampness from her eyes.

Cali sniffed and put her arms around both of them. “Thank you both so much. My heart is so full of love. And though I never believed I’d marry again, now I can’t wait. I keep saying that but it’s just true.”

“Keep saying it,” Shar encouraged. “We’re all in on your happiness, big sister.” That made Cali smile. Shar, Jillian, and Olivia were triplets, so they’d all idolized Cali growing up. She was their quieter sister who’d ended up having a rough first marriage and they were just so glad to see her getting the happiness she deserved.

“Now if Olivia will just get here in time to spend some time with us, it will be perfect,” Cali said.

“She’ll be here,” Jillian assured her. “I just talked to her.”

“Great. Then we’re all set.” Cali took a deep breath. “Pinch me, please. Just so I know this is real.”

Shar reached out and lightly pinched her elbow. “There you go. It’s real all right.”

“I guess we better get back to work then,” Cali said.

“Please, no. Mrs. Talbert Albert…I mean, Mrs. Albert Talbert’s group arrives today.”

And on that note, they left the storage area chuckling.

Shar was glad they found it funny because she didn’t.
