CHAPTER SEVEN

We spent the morning finalizing the wedding headcount and picking out tux attire. Grayson was going to look sharp in his black tux, white shirt, and silver vest. He added a yellow and silver tie and a yellow pocket square for all of the men to wear.

“What do you think about giving Millie a gift certificate for her to go shopping for the wedding and maybe make her our honorary aunt?”

“She’s going to love it, Grayson; it’ll make her day. You really are such a softy; it’s just one of the many things I love about you.” It was a very precious idea. She was like a mother to him, since they were very close.

With our checklist completed, the only item left was the final call with the resort’s wedding coordinator to firm up our itinerary, guest list, and arrival information. Part of the bridal package included a private room for me for the first two nights before I joined Grayson in his bungalow after the wedding. The Bridal Room, as they called it, looked more like a room in a castle from the photographs she sent me. Grayson had planned a special surprise for our wedding night, but had refused to discuss anything about it.

I was deep into online retail therapy researching swimsuits when Dad called.

“Kiddo, we got the Rockwall house. We’re going to be Texans.”

“Yay, I’m really excited for you and Gretchen; it’s wonderful. Do you have a date for the move?”

“First week in December. We want to host Christmas for everyone, so spread the word.”

I reminded him that we’re all going to be together in a two weeks, and he could extend the offer himself, but he insisted everyone should have enough time to make plans.

After we hung up, I realized it was going to be the first real family Christmas since my mom had passed away. I missed her so much. She would’ve loved Grayson and shared our happiness.

“What’s going on? Something happen with your dad?” Grayson had my feet in his lap, massaging them, but he stopped when I didn’t answer him immediately and pulled me into his lap. “You can tell me anything, angel. What gives?”

“Dad and Gretchen got the Rockwall house, and he wanted to make sure we would be spending Christmas with them. In fact, he’s planning a blowout party and inviting everyone. It just made me think of holidays with my mom. It always makes me sad that she’s not here.” I wiped at my tears, but Grayson pulled my hands away.

“Let them flow, Alexandra. You’ve been hiding tears from me for days. I didn’t want to say anything because I thought you might open up eventually and share what’s bothering you. Let it out. We’re about to start our married life, and I want it to be a fresh start for both of us. So please, open up your heart to me. What’s going on?” He held both of my wrists and wouldn’t let me hide my face.

“My tears aren’t all sad ones, Grayson.
