5 Days Until Dream Wedding

Beneath the blanket in the only bedroom in the cabin, Harper considered her options.

She could stay here forever, mortified and alone.

Or she could go back out and explain to the one guy she’d dreamed about kissing almost every night in college why she’d run away once he’d actually kissed her.

She snuggled deeper into the bed.

Austin had made it quite nicely, considering he just had musty sheets to work with. There was somehow a fresh, clean smell to the linens, which baffled Harper. How had he managed that?

Okay, sitting here smelling the sheets was not exactly making a choice about what to do. But it helped calm her down, and she hadn’t felt calm since they’d left the inn this afternoon.

Just thinking about how worried everyone must be about them sent her pulse racing again. They were in so much trouble. Everything was ruined. And instead of trying to fix it, she and Austin were making out next to the fire in the most romantic scene Harper had ever witnessed.

She closed her eyes and let herself remember the sweet words he’d just whispered. How beautiful she was, how much he had missed her. It was everything she’d ever wanted to hear from him. She sunk down into the mattress. Did it matter that it was four years late? Better late than never, right?

She groaned and covered her face with a pillow. A pillow that smelled fresh and green like the rain that was pounding on the roof.

Four years made a big difference. His life was in California. If this had happened at graduation like she’d hoped, then her life would be out there too. But it was here, in Wellspring, North Carolina—a town so tiny they combined the post office and bank. What was here for him, other than Harper? She wasn’t naive enough to think she was enough to keep him here longer than a night kissing in front of the fireplace.

Sure, he’d told her he loved her. He’d also said he had loved her for the last four years, and that hadn’t exactly brought him knocking down her door.

He had plans, and so did Harper. She wasn’t that absent-minded girl from college anymore. She ran a successful business, for goodness sake, and didn’t need someone to remind her to pay her bills. Well, she didn’t need two people, she amended, thinking of her assistant Tiffany.

Trying to tap into that more logical side of herself she’d only recently gotten used to using, she took a deep breath and tried to ignore the fresh cleanliness of the sheets she’d ensconced herself in and how much they reminded her of how Austin smelled.

Why not just enjoy it? said a quiet voice in the back of her mind. Don’t make plans, just have fun.

Making out while Austin was in town didn’t have to be the start of something major. It didn’t mean they had to get married or anything. It could just be kissing, not the end of their worlds as they knew them.
