Chapter 12

The ceremony itself was lovely. Savannah enjoyed standing at the front of the church, watching her childhood friend marry the man of her dreams.

She felt Billy Ray’s eyes on her throughout the service. The bridesmaids were angled toward the couple, so it was easy for him to snag her attention. He winked at her at least a dozen times, setting off an internal groan with each one.

Thankfully, the bride was in a happy glow, because she hadn’t noticed that the groomsmen, who probably hadn’t paid that much attention to these details, were not standing in the right order for Billy Ray to pair up with Savannah.

Due to the boys’ mistake, neither Candace nor Savannah had to walk with their exes at the end. Every time Savannah thought of it, she wanted to giggle.

Savannah couldn’t see Luke. He sat at the far end of the aisle behind her, which was too much of a turn for Savannah to attempt while standing up front.

Billy Ray could see him though. Savannah suspected that Luke must have looked at her regularly, based on the occasional scowl that crossed Billy Ray’s face.

As Anna and Landon declared their love for each other, Savannah’s mind kept drifting back to that moment in the garden. There was no doubt that she felt an attraction for Luke. Who wouldn’t? He was thoughtful, kind, helpful, and she couldn’t even get started on his looks.

In fact, based on how every single girl was watching him as they dashed to the church, he wouldn’t be single for long. Not if they could help it.

Did she have time for this? When would she go out on a date? She had the puppies, the dogs and the cats. And Boone.

The minister pronounced the couple husband and wife, and the organist began playing the recessional. Landon and Anna moved up the aisle, and Savannah and Candace glanced at each other with a grin, waiting for the boys to realize they were out of order.

Frederick and Violet met at the center and proceeded out of the sanctuary.

Billy Ray stepped forward, frowning when he saw Candace there.

“Excuse me,” he said, trying to pass her to grab Savannah’s arm.

But Candace was having none of that. She slid her arm through Billy Ray’s with a stiff smile and said, “Escort me and do not make a fuss.”

Jeremy looked completely confused but lined up behind Billy Ray to take Savannah’s arm. After a stumbling start, Candace and Billy Ray finally moved forward. Savannah struggled to hold back her laughter. It really was just like Billy Ray not to plan ahead even when something mattered as much to him as walking her down the aisle.

Jeremy and Savannah followed them at the proper distance, and she finally got an opportunity to cast her gaze over to where Luke was sitting.

His eyebrows were lifted, and his pinched lips told her he was also trying not to laugh.

Billy Ray must’ve noticed, because he turned around to look at Savannah as if to confirm that she and Luke were laughing at him.
