... and so we fear we cannot attend the wedding. Your brother and I will stay with your mama, of course. It is only an upset of the stomach she’s taken, but we can scarcely ask her to travel now, can we? We will meet your bride as soon as you are able to bring her to us. Congratulations.

Yr Father,

Lynwood

It was far. It was their own son’s wedding. He grimaced, wondering how he’d explain it to Brenna and her family and how they’d feel about it, so that he wouldn’t concentrate on his own feelings.

Those feelings were disappointment, pain, and the old sour ache of helpless regret. Nothing new, he thought as he reached for the next letter and raised it as if it weighed a ton, nothing new in any of this, actually.
