Epilogue

King wasn’t one bit happy about the turn of events that brought him into church on a Saturday morning in October. He’d expected to walk down the aisle himself before his son got around to it, but Tucker and Mary Elizabeth were in some sort of rush. Frances had flatly refused to steal the limelight from them by scheduling their wedding until at least a month later.

No question, though, that Tucker was happy about something. King suspected he knew what it was, but darned if he could pry a thing out of his son or anyone else. He’d had the whole family working on it, but Mary Elizabeth and Tucker were as tight-lipped as any two people King had ever known.

As if that weren’t bad enough, Mary Elizabeth and Frances had suddenly gotten to be thick as thieves. Every time he turned around, the two of them were looking at him as if they were about to dissect him under a microscope. If he were prone to hives, he’d be itching al over by now.

Tucker told him he was just getting his due after the way he’d meddled in al their lives, but King didn’t see it that way. A conspiracy was a conspiracy, plain and simple, and he didn’t like it one damn bit.

Of course, when Frances tucked her hand in his and looked up at him as if he’d hung the moon, he supposed he could forgive her for whatever she was up to. Something told him that whatever it was, in the end he was going to count himself the lucky one.

He listened to the solemn exchange of vows and felt his heart fil to overflowing. The words took on new meaning when he was contemplating saying them himself in the not too distant future. When he gazed at Frances and saw tears shimmering in her eyes, he could tel she was feeling the exact same way.

“Our turn next,” he whispered, just as Anna-Louise pronounced Tucker and Mary Elizabeth husband and wife.

“I can’t wait,” Frances whispered back. “But there is something we have to talk about.”

King’s heart began to thud dul y. “You’re not backing out on me, are you?” he demanded, oblivious to the bride and groom, who were going down the aisle in a shower of flower petals.

“Not a chance,” Frances assured him. “But Mary Elizabeth and I have been talking about planning something a little different.”

“Different how?” King inquired suspiciously.

Frances frowned. “Maybe now’s not the best time to get into this. We’l talk later.”

She started out of the pew, but King held her back. “Tel me now,” he commanded. “I’m getting old. I can’t handle many shocks.”

“Oh, stop it,” she scolded. “You’re only as old as you let yourself be.”

“Tel me.”

“Oh, for goodness’ sakes, it’s not like I want to get married jumping out of an airplane.”

“Thank the Lord for that,” King said, though he supposed he would have gone along with it if she’d insisted. He was of a mind to give Frances just about anything she wanted these days.
