Chapter Eleven

RJ went to work early on Thursday morning. He wasn’t going to give Rose anything less than her dream wedding, even if it meant he had to put in extra hours before anyone else was on the property. In fact, it was probably better that way, because then she wouldn’t see all the details as he built them. Some surprises, he wanted to keep for her big day.

He was using a nail gun to get two-by-four beams into position in the main hall, and wanted to get them in place before Rose could see them. It wasn’t exactly an elegant solution, but it would give him a strong core to build the rest of the setup around.

The same strong core that Rose seemed to be so determined to ignore in herself.

“Hey, RJ.” He looked up to see his brother approaching.

“Patrick, I thought you’d be busy working on Rose and Donovan’s new home. Aren’t they planning on moving in after the wedding?” Thinking about the two of them together in the new house had RJ’s gut clenching.

“We’re actually pretty close to completion,” Patrick told him.

“I bet it goes even quicker when Donovan is willing to spend the money for additional contractors.”

“Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth,” his brother told him. “It means that I can come down here to offer my services. Or was Phoebe wrong when she told me you have to re-build the entire wedding setup from scratch?”

“She wasn’t wrong.”

“I’m surprised to hear that Rose changed her mind about the whole thing. That isn’t like her.”

RJ didn’t want to go into the details, even with his brother. “The important thing is that it needs to get done by Saturday.”

Patrick shrugged and picked up a hammer without asking, starting to nail a crossbeam into position. “We’ve both done plenty of jobs like that. It starts out one way and ends up as something else entirely.”

Just then, Tyce arrived. RJ checked his watch in mock surprise. “Isn’t this the earliest you’ve ever been in to work? All that time around Whitney has changed you, man.”

Tyce grinned. “I hope so, but that’s not why I’m in early. Since you’re working on a new setup, I’m going to need to put up a new lighting rig.”

“Are you still having trouble getting enough students for your string section?” RJ asked, with genuine concern. Rose deserved the wedding of her dreams.

She also deserved the right groom, of course.

“I’ve been speaking with a talented quartet, but whether they have enough pieces together to play the whole gig, I’m not sure. I’m going to have speakers ready as insurance.”

“I’ll tell you what,” RJ offered. “If you can help Patrick and me out with this, I’ll help you with the lighting rig and the speakers.”

They set to work, and soon the three of them were making better progress than RJ had hoped for. After an hour or so, they paused to inspect their handiwork. It was looking good.

“RJ,” Patrick said from out of the blue, “I need to talk to you about something important.
