“So there’s been a slight change of plans.”

Kennedy called me during my drive to Rochester. I was only about twenty minutes away.

“What is it?”

“I’m stuck at this tux fitting place with the guys from the wedding party. They screwed up all of the sizes, and now they’re trying to fix it. So I won’t be able to meet you at my mom’s shop.”

Kennedy’s mother was supposed to be giving him the keys to her boutique so he could take me to select a dress for the wedding. I wasn’t exactly sure what this news meant.

“Should I wait for you somewhere?

“No. If you wait for me, we won’t have enough time before the rehearsal dinner. I just got off the phone with my mom, and she’s going to meet you there.”

Panic started to set in. “Kennedy, I can’t meet your mom without you!”

“Why not?”

“We haven’t even discussed what I’m going to say or anything.”

“Honestly, Riley? Just be yourself. That’s more than enough. There’s nothing you could say that could make you better than you already are.”

His words calmed me down just a tad. Seriously, what a sweet thing to say.

“I guess I just thought maybe you wanted me to jazz things up a bit. You know, like how we met when I was saving you from a burning building. That sort of thing.”

He let out a hearty laugh. “Riley, that was never the plan. Tell the truth. Although, maybe neglect to mention that I lied through my teeth to your mother over Christmas. My mom doesn’t need to know any of that.”

I blew out a breath. “God, now I’m nervous. I thought you’d be with me.”

“Riley. You’ll be fine. And I’ll be there as soon as I can.”
