Elliot

“Ready?” Travis asks. His hand is on the doorknob.

“Yup,” I answer. I’m as ready as I’m gonna be. We step out of the room and make our way to the elevator. The restaurant is on the first floor and there’s a reserved banquet hall for the rehearsal dinner. We aren’t the only ones headed in this direction, but for the moment, no one seems to recognize Travis. His hand hangs next to mine, but we aren’t touching each other. I reach out and lace our fingers together. Travis looks at me, his eyebrows raising as he looks at our hands. I’m sure he’s going to pull away, but instead he squeezes my hand and pulls me closer to him.

The elevator chimes, doors opening before the people in front of us file out. I reluctantly pull my hand away from Travis’s, but he wraps his arm around my shoulders. I look up at him and Travis grins. “Come on, it’s time to meet my family.” I guess the whole fake dating thing is happening now. My gut twists with an empty hollow feeling at what awaits us. I’m not sure I can do this, but there’s no turning back now.

Travis leads me through the main floor to the restaurant, where there are signs redirecting us to the room reserved for the Dawson and Grey wedding party. It’s still early enough that the room isn’t crowded. While it’s been years since I’ve seen Travis’s family, it’s not difficult to pick out the bride and groom to be.

People surround Alyssa. She’s wearing a white sundress with blue flowers on it and a pair of strappy blue heels. I didn’t know what to expect when Travis told me the event was semi-formal, but I’ve also never been to a wedding. Along with her is a handsome man wearing slacks and a short sleeve button down, his arm around her waist. Travis leads me right toward them. “Alyssa, you look great,” he says.

She turns around from the woman she’s talking to look at us. “Travis, where’s your girlfriend?” Alyssa asks, but I’m staring at the woman next to her.

“Elliot?” Cece stares at me. Her eyebrow raising, like she isn’t entirely sure it’s me.

All eyes turn to me, and I can’t make my mouth work. My throat closes up. No words come out. Travis tightens his grip around my shoulders. “My date is right here. You remember Elliot?” he says to his sister.

“You’re dating Travis?” my sister asks, her voice rising higher in disbelief. “And wearing makeup?”

I don’t know which one confuses her more. Either way, clearly neither of us expected to run into each other here. I’m not sure which of us is more shocked.

“We’re living together,” I answer. It’s technically true, but I probably shouldn’t have blurted it out like that. It makes our relationship sound more serious than we agreed on.

Alyssa laughs, covering her mouth with her hand, but it doesn’t muffle the noise. My cheeks heat up. The butterflies in my stomach from earlier have morphed into a swarm of bees.
