We find Nurse Colleen coming out of Momâs room. âLook at you two lovebirds.â She pulls me at an armâs length, assessing me head to toe. âYou look different, honey.â She gasps as her gaze fixes on my ring. âDid I not see it before, or did you not have it before?â
Crap! I look at Zach for some help.
âYou didnât miss anything, Colleen.â He pulls me from her and plasters me along his side, dropping his arm over my shoulders. âWith all the anxiety, she lost weight, so the ring was at the jewelers for fitting.â
âAww, my poor girl. Your mom is fine. Donât worry too much.â She holds my hands and presses them affectionately. âGo see her.â
âWhat was all the commotion outside?â Mom asks as we enter her room. âWhat in Godâs name is that?â Her gaze shifts from the ring to my face.
Oh! Come on, ladies!
Whatâs up with these women? They have some sort of radar for engagement rings and to hell with Zach for giving me such an ostentatious one.
âWe got married,â I say, trying not to unnecessarily beat around the bush.
âWhen? Why didnât you tell me? He was supposed to take you on dates, woo youâ¦â
My chest tightens. My marriage is a total contrast from her dreams.
âYou donât even like him yet.â Momâs wide gaze stays on my face, making me nervous.
âI never said that,â I reply meekly.
âYou donât have to. You made that annoyed face every time he showed up at our doorstep.â She raises her eyebrow like she used to when I was a child. âDonât think about lying to me, Hope Amanda Davis.â
Geez!
âIâm not lying. Itâs true that I didnât like himâ¦much in the beginning. I used to think he was insane. Maybe I still sometimes think that.â From the corner of my eye, I look at Zach who is uncharacteristically silent sitting on the couch facing us. âBut you canât deny he is genuinely caring in his own way. He loves Ray and youâ"
âWhat about you?â Mom doesnât let go.
âHe⦠I⦠Weâ¦we are getting there.â
Zach walks to us and my heart tugs when he puts his arm around me, pulling me closer, and I willingly accept the affection. Iâm sure we are portraying the picture of a newly wedded couple.
Mom nods before a slow smile appears on her face. âIf youâre happy, honey, Iâm happy, and Iâm sure Ray will be over the moon.â
