Lincoln’s phone is ringing. I know it’s his phone because the song currently playing in competition with Raine’s voice is Bruno Mars’ Marry You, and I know Whisper set the ring tone on his phone.

He snatches it up out of his suit pocket and listens intently while Ghost and Joel have their heads bowed, close enough to get the gist of the call.

There’s a lot of nodding, but it isn’t until Lincoln’s eyes slide over to me that I know something is not kosher and the fact Joel slaps his hand to his forehead in one of those “oh no” moments and Ghost adds crossed arms and a serious guarded look.

I take a step to the side, ready to head for Lincoln when Ghost puts his finger up and shakes his head, as though asking for a minute. Now the only reason I am gonna give him this time-out is because I like Ghost, and he wouldn’t be holding a finger up to me on my wedding day if he didn’t think it was okay for me to wait it out.

I feel Mathias’ firm grip on my arm reaffirming he can see what’s going on and telling me to wait and not make a scene. I meet his eyes, trying not to look as worried as I’m feeling because something sure as shit isn’t right and Lincoln is holding that piece of golden news from me.

And that certainly ain’t fucking kosher.

Down the groomsmen line, I hear a phone ping—Hazard’s phone, to be exact.

He swipes it up into his big hand, reads the message then he’s turning side on away from me and typing.

I don’t even need to look to know Lincoln is communicating with him.

Mathias’ hand grips my sleeve tight when I try to make a move toward Hazard, while he raises one finger to me as though commanding me to stay put.

What-the-fuck is with all the one-minute-fingers that are popping up like jackrabbits?

A while back I heard from Whisper with a short cryptic message about sorting a kid issue out and a delay, but now something else has rattled the phones.

Hazard finishes texting, and then I find myself pulled into a groomsmen huddle like we are about to talk game tactics with Hazard as spokesman.

Hazard has his arms around Slade and Mathias’ shoulders. “I’ll get straight to the point. Whisper doesn’t want to make a big deal out of it, but it seems that Whisper and the ladies are a little late due to an altercation with the kid next door. Whisper is very sorry for making you wait, but she’s on her way, shortly. Torque has everything under control, and she feels you might need a word with Bowie—the kid next door—when you have a spare minute sometime soon, which can equate to anytime after the wedding, but today is not the day. Also, Whisper wants to stress to you she loves you, and Bowie is still only eight-years old. Now I gotta read this last bit and… you know… we have to do as the message says.
