“We’ve had our first leak,” Red told her over breakfast a couple of days later.

“What kind of leak?”

Red sipped his coffee as he stared at his phone. “A leak about our wedding to the tabloids. The Rag, specifically.”

“Shit.” Nicole pursed her lips. “I’m so sorry.”

“Why are you apologizing?”

“I don’t know. It feels like somehow it must be my fault.”

Red laughed. “You didn’t phone it in, did you?”

“Obviously not.”

“But we should probably think about who might have,” Red replied. He looked at her now. “That wedding planner, maybe.”

Nicole shook her head. “I really don’t think so. I haven’t even spoken to her since that consultation.”

“Are you going to use her then?”

“I’d like to. I just wanted to take some time to mull it over first.”

Red sighed. “I’ve gone on record as saying it’s a mistake to use someone who’s not used to high-profile weddings. She’s going to be totally unprepared for dealing with the kinds of issues we face, Nicole.”

“I like her. And besides, it makes my mother happy, which is so rare. Can’t I make my mom happy just one time?”

Red shrugged. “If that’s what you want. I always thought our wedding was about our happiness. This is our day—your day especially.”

“I know, but part of what makes me happy is making the people around me happy—including Mom.”

Red smiled, but she could tell it was forced. She knew his expressions as intimately as her own. “Sounds good to me,” he said.

“We need to discuss the guest list,” Nicole told him. She’d told him this numerous times over the last week, but he always had a reason not to.

“Just plan for fifty,” he said. “You put down who you want and whatever’s left over, I’ll fill.”

“So if I take forty spots, you’ll just invite ten people?”

“Yes.” He chewed a piece of bacon and then started texting or emailing on his phone.

“Red, don’t be silly. We can’t keep avoiding this stuff. We need to talk about your family. Are you going to invite your brother, your mom and dad?”

He shook his head. “I’m sorry but we’re going to have to do this another time. I need to put out some fires at the office. We’ve got a huge pitch coming up and we’re nowhere close to being ready.”

Nicole groaned with frustration and sat back in her chair.

Red was already getting out of his seat and heading for the door. “I’ll call you later,” he said.

“How about a kiss, at least?” she called back.

“Yeah, of course.” He ran over and kissed the top of her head. “Love you, babe.”

“Love you, too,” she sighed.

And then he was gone.

After Red left, Nicole got on her laptop and found The Rag, where of course the leak had originated.

On The Rag’s homepage, there was an old picture of Red looking surprised and confused all at once. Beneath the picture was the story:

It’s On! Red Jameson Vows to Keep Wedding Date!
