Chapter Seventeen

Gavin and I got to know each other better as we traveled from candy shop to candy shop. He was a pretty cool guy, and I finally loosened up and realized we could be pretty good friends. He also was a good sharer; he'd get samples of different candies, so we could try more selections. And his backpack was always filled with snacks. I’m not sure when he managed to shop and fill it up, but it never disappointed.

Blaire and I continued to check things off our list and Gavin enjoyed our conference calls in the car once in a while when he was driving. I appreciated his company then for sure because I wouldn’t have been able to work with her as closely during the day when she had questions and time to devote to me.

Nik’s family lived in Elkton, Iowa, and I was super excited to be traveling to Des Moines, the neighboring town, to visit a chocolate shop.

It had been a couple of weeks since Nik suggested we have a little engagement photo shoot for the write-up in The Post.

Gavin and I cut off a couple of days of adventures by driving a little longer into the night and squeezing in some stops. He was nice enough to drive more too, so I could write my blogs after our visits rather than just going back to the hotel and writing like I usually did. He had photos stored up that he'd need to get to editing so he planned to do that while we took a little detour and a couple of extra days after Des Moines to stay in Elkton.

I was relieved too. I needed to finalize some wedding plans in person. Nik’s sister Brooke was ready to pop at any time with her second child, and I knew she’d want Nik around for that as well. Not that we were coaxing the baby to come while we were there, but the timing would have been nice.

“Is there any place in particular in Elkton you’d like to do your engagement pictures?” Gavin asked after I got off the phone with Brooke and finalized our plans. The Eastwood Estate was large enough that Gavin and I could stay on opposite ends of the mansion if we wanted. And I hinted at that when I talked to Brooke. I wanted some alone time with Nik, and we’d have to take advantage of it quickly.

“Yep, definitely The Estate. The grounds are gorgeous and there should be some amazing summer flowers in bloom...I was hoping maybe the weather would be nice, and we could go out in the late evening before the sun sets,” I suggested.

“That sounds amazing,” Gavin agreed. “Do you know what you’re going to wear?”

He didn’t even have to look over at me to tell my eyes were huge, I hadn’t even thought about that. My initial weird feelings about Gavin had dissipated as we spent more and more time together. I was glad to feel like he was a friend now, and one I planned on keeping for the long haul.
