COLLIER wiped both hands over his face. He stood in the phone booth, staring at the phone as if it would dial itself. Three days since he’d received word of the drastic change of plans. Korea. Whit needed to hear. He needed to call, so why could he only stand there?

“You can do this, Collier.” Haden’s large hand palmed Collier’s shoulder. “Emilee took it better than I thought. So will Whit. Call.”

“But what if —”

“Call.”

Collier lifted the phone from the receiver. Smudged fingerprints and dirt covered the phone. He scrubbed it clean with the cuff of his Army fatigues. The small metal numbers clicked as he dialed.

Haden patted his back and stepped away. “I’ll be over here if you need me.”

Collier managed a nod. His throat tightened with each ring.

“Hello?” Whit sounded upbeat. “Collier?”

“H… Hey.” His words fought through the desert conditions of his mouth. “It’s good to hear your voice.”

“Back at ya.” She giggled. “Got a lot of exciting things to tell you.”

“Oh yeah.” He licked his lips. He needed good news right about now. “Care to share?”

“Did you get my letter? Well, for starters, wedding plans are better than I ever imagined.” She talked so fast. “Reese and Lennon are pros, and Mom and Dad are amazing. I can’t wait for you to see the barn. It’s gorgeous. Professor Rhine’s been over here helping Dad almost every day since school let out.” Whitleigh smacked her lips together. “It’s never been weird having him around until he became my teacher.”

Collier sank his teeth into his bottom lip. Her daddy was gonna kill him for breaking her heart, and Professor Rhine would probably flunk him if he could. Collier nodded and regained focus. “How are we doing on cash?”

“$3,326.56 remaining after the dress, flowers, and cake deposit. The flowers are lovely. Simple, but beautiful. Lavender, in mason jars, maybe some lilac worked in with lace, burlap, and a few pearls.” Whitleigh’s voice grew louder as the words sped from her mouth. Collier listened, enjoyed her enthusiasm even if he couldn’t get too excited over lace and purple flowers, or the news he needed to tell. “Right now we’re working out prices with the catering school. Since Lennon and Reese are doing the desserts we only need a few appetizers from the caterers. Nothing fancy. I’m thinking a potato bar with yummy toppings.”

Potato bar? Collier allowed himself a contained snicker. Might as well enjoy a good moment before a bad. “I still can’t believe you had almost five grand in change.”

“Crazy, right?”

“I can send more money if you need me to.”

“Right now we’re good. Save your money so we’ll have a nice cushion to start married life with.”

“So, um, what’s left to buy?” Delaying the purpose of the call couldn’t last much longer.

“The honeymoon.” She twirled her voice, low and flirty.

Their honeymoon. Collier gulped, his brows lifted. “Oh.” That part of their relationship, the part he worked hard not to think about — the intimate portion. Waiting was right. Right, but difficult.
