EMERSON

While Liss went off to call Savannah, I was busy getting better acquainted with the structures I’d be building as Stephanie handed me one picture after the next.

“I never realized there was a need for freestanding barn doors at a wedding.” I’d been staring at the open double doors leading to nowhere in particular for a solid minute. Part of me wanted to say no to building them on principal.

“It’s a whole theme. See? We set up the doorway to signal the entrance to our wedding. We have the window and door frames filled with hanging pictures, oh, and the big wooden barrels Cal’s mom ordered to use as flower stands. We put it all together and it will have this lovely, romantic, rustic, country thing happening.”

I still didn’t really get it, but Steph and Lissy had certainly seemed excited about it and I assumed Savannah would feel the same. So, I resigned myself to building whatever I was handed.

“You know, Cal isn’t just my boss, she’s also one of my closest friends.” Steph looked like she was still focused on the file at her fingertips, but I was quite sure we were about to discuss something that had nothing to with Savannah’s wedding. “Cal hasn’t exactly had what you might call a whole lot of success in the relationship department. She’s convinced herself that she doesn’t want one and that marriage is total bull but look at what the woman does for a living. Obviously, the little girl who believes in fairy tales is still in there somewhere, no matter how hard she’s tried to kill her off.”

I tossed the paper I’d been holding, into my to-do pile and turned my back to the table to get a better look at Steph. “You giving me insider information?”

“Yeah, so listen up. This shit is going to make or break you. Cal is a chickenshit. She’s scared of pretty much everything and because of that, she’s also a total control freak. The two together make for a lethal combo when it comes to dating. Either something happens to make her rock that deer in the headlights look that makes her want to take control and cut the sucker from her life, or the sucker does something to screw up all the ducks she likes to keep so neatly in a row that she gets scared and bails. Either way, she’s fucked. Personally, I blame her father, but then I blame my father, too. We all have our issues.”

What she was saying was making sense. I just didn’t see how exactly it was helpful. “So, you’re saying...what are you saying?”

“I’m saying, learn from the Tyler’s she’s left in her wake. She can’t be held down or chased. So you’re going to have to find some other way to keep her put.”

I frowned. “Any suggestions? Or is pointing out all the reasons it won’t work the extent of your advice?”

“Oh, I never said it wasn’t going to work. If I thought you were just another pothole in her path, I wouldn’t be wasting my breath, Emerson.
