Zack nudged Vannâs arm. Heâd zoned out during his best friendâs wedding, first wondering where the hell Sophie was, then wondering why in holy hell sheâd ended up coming out so late, and in the company of that asshat Rich Bryce.
He dragged his attention back to the celebrant, who was saying something sentimental about mutual trust. Jenna and Drew had that drunk-on-happiness look that used to make him nervous and uncomfortable, and now just made him envious.
Nervous and uncomfortable had been preferable.
He was going to schedule a meeting with Hendrick and Malcolm as soon as possible when they were back in Seattle on Tuesday. Lay it all out for them. He wanted to take this relationship with Sophie to the next level.
And he wasnât going to let Bryceâs bullshit hold him back.
The crowd erupted in cheers and applause. Drew and Jenna were kissing passionately. When they came up for air, they beamed at each other.
Zack nudged him again. Time to process out after the new bride and groom. Theyâd practiced the choreography after breakfast, but it was all gone from his head.
Zack and Ava went first, and then Cherise took the lead, grabbing his arm and towing him along after them.
Sophie looked at him intently as he passed, as if she were trying to tell him something with her eyes, but he couldnât grasp what it was, not with Rich Bryce hanging over her with that self-satisfied look on his face, like heâd gotten away with something.
Postwedding chaos followed. Tears, showers of flower petals and eco-friendly bird feed over the bride. A crush of wedding guests descended on the receiving line.
He couldnât find Sophie in all the hubbub afterward, but he kept looking.
He finally found her on one of the cliff overlooks. Sheâd gotten a glass of champagne, and was gazing out on the surf as she sipped it.
Vann grabbed a glass from a passing waiterâs tray and joined her. âThere you are.â
She gave him a guarded smile and lifted her glass. âWell, they did it. Beautiful ceremony.â
âIt was,â he said, clinking it with his own. âTo Jenna and Drew.â
They drank, and leaned their elbows on the railing, gazing out at the sea together.
âWhere were you when the ceremony started?â he asked.
Sophie shook her head. âIt was the strangest thing,â she said. âI was on my way there, but right when I got to the door of the reception hall, this woman dressed like hotel staff told me that Malcolm urgently needed me in his hotel room.â
âWhat?â
âI know, right? She said he needed me to interpret. The timing seemed bizarre, but she was very insistent, so I just hightailed it up there and knocked on his door. But he wasnât there. Of course, because he was here all along. Obviously. The wedding was about to start. Which means that someone was jerking me around. So I hurried back, and asked at the desk to speak to the person whoâs sent me on this foolâs errandâJulieâs her name. And the woman tells me there is no Julie on the resort staff.
