Chapter 28

Lear

THE NEXT DAY started out so well. The wedding preparations were in full swing, vendors arrived on time, and there hadn’t been a single hiccup, which should have prepared me for a major one.

I pushed a thumb between my eyebrows, surveying the small group of people gathered in the bridal suite. The destination wedding on the Outer Banks was small, and about fifty people sat on the beach outside, enjoying a beautifully timed sunset that would have aligned with the couple saying I do.

I’d been looking for the best man but gotten distracted when RJ smiled at me from where she was checking things at the makeshift altar. The breeze blew her curls, and the warm glow from the sun made her skin even more tempting to kiss and taste. I was imagining the feel of her lips when the bride’s dad pulled me into the bridal suite, his mouth in a firm line.

This isn’t good.

The bride sobbed into her mother’s shoulder, and her father paced, the slight man looking like a caged animal. “How could he do this?”

“I don’t know, honey,” the mother of the bride said, stroking her daughter’s hair.

“I’m gonna kill him,” her dad muttered, fists at his sides. “I’m going to chop off his balls.”

The groom had shown up, taken pictures with his attendants, and then left, texting that he couldn’t do it. I might have killed him, too. The young bride’s choked, hysterical cries filled the room, and I didn’t let myself connect with what she was feeling, because as much as I thought I was getting emotionally untwisted, seeing her this raw left me feeling like my skin was scraped and bleeding. I made a mental checklist of tasks I would handle.

Notify the DJ.

Have hotel staff take down monogrammed decorations.

Cancel honeymoon suite.
