Chapter Seventeen

I could count on one hand the number of big fights Eric and I had been in since we met. Sure, we’d had our odd disagreement here and there, but actual fights had been few and far between.

One of our very first fights was over our wedding guest list. I had been bugging him for weeks to sit down with his parents and come up with a list of people they wanted to invite, but he kept putting it off. Jen had already asked me for it twice, and I was getting embarrassed.

“How do you not see how big a deal this is?” I had asked, standing in the middle of his apartment with my hands on my hips. Eric scratched his neck, a habit he had when he knew he was in trouble.

“Kiki, you said it yourself, the invitations don’t need to go out for another three months.”

“Yeah, but we need a general head count for vendors.” I sighed, exasperated. I had told him this already.

“I’m sorry, okay?” He came over to me and put his arms around me. When my own hands stayed firmly on my hips, he nuzzled my neck. “Come on, Kiks. I said I was sorry. I’ll call my mom right now and ask her and Dad to make a list of family. Then I can add my friends and we’ll be good to go by the end of the night. Okay?”

“Fine,” I said, giving up and putting my arms around his neck. “I just don’t like it when Jen has to ask for something more than once. She’s working so hard on our wedding, it’s not fair of us to make anything harder on her.”

“You’re right,” he said, immediately letting me go and walking over to his phone. “I’m calling right now.”

While his parents put together their list, Eric and I ordered pizza and talked about who he would like to invite. By the time we had finished eating we had a list of about twenty assorted people. “Hmm,” I said, looking down at it. “This isn’t very big.”

“It’s not?’ Eric asked, looking over my shoulder. “Do you think I’m missing anyone?”

“No,” I said, checking the names. “Not in particular. It just seems like a small number. Are you sure you invited all the work people you want? What about old friends, high school or college?”

Eric shrugged. “Everyone I’m particularly close to is on that list.”

I frowned again. My personal list, not including the family members and work colleagues my parents had insisted on, was currently pushing sixty people. Had I invited too many?

“Who’s on your list?” Eric asked.

“I’ll show you,” I said, jumping up from the couch to grab my wedding binder. It had become like my bible over the past months—I took it with me everywhere I went. It was, without a doubt, the most important book that I owned.

“Here,” I said, pulling out a piece of paper and handing it to Eric. “That’s my list.”

His eyes ran down the names as he nodded slightly.
