Chapter Seven

Anna stuffed heels in her overnight bag, stared at them a second, pondered, spun, and grabbed a second pair. She should have packed last night, not five minutes before time to leave. But she'd been working on cute word search games for her classes weekly spelling words and spent way too much time finding clip art of fall leaves and apples and…

The phone rang and the doorbell peeled at the same time. "Just a second!" She yanked up the cordless phone and dashed to the door. She opened it to Robin at the same time she said, "Hello?" She waved him inside and rushed back to her bedroom.

"Anna darling, I wanted to wish you a safe trip. Mother just left, and I'm headed over to Dad's for the evening. I can see you've tried to reach me a few times but…"

"Doug, I really need to talk to you." Anna stuffed her robe in the bag. "I wouldn't have said emergency if it didn't feel vital to me. We're both busy, but please, we really need to talk. I mean it."

"Yes, I assume from the tone of your voice we need to have a long conversation, and I promise we will. After you return on Sunday from this trip with my mother, we can meet here or at your place and have a long talk, catch up, get a few things settled."

"Doug." Anna added her makeup case and struggled to hold the phone and zip the bag at the same time. Robin nudged her aside and completed the simple act which had seemed momentous to her. She walked a few steps away. "I'm not sure about this shopping trip. Maybe we should call it off."

"Why? I thought you were thrilled to see your mother and have this big girl's weekend. Why would you want to cancel it?"

Anna took a deep breath, very conscious of Robin behind her. "It's not the trip. It's the wedding. Maybe we should postpone it." Or not even do it.

Static buzzed at the other end of the line, then she heard, "…will be fine, darling. Fine." He sounded distracted, distant. "Have a wonderful time and really listen to my mother. Her taste and advice are invaluable. She will make certain your wedding gown is amazing."

"Didn't you hear me? This is why I said emergency for us to talk almost a week ago. I'm not kidding, Doug. I think we should postpone the entire wedding."

"Mother warned me about this." He laughed, but even over the miles she could hear the false cheerfulness. "She said you'd try to cancel the trip. You have bridal nerves combined with your fear of commitment and terror over having to buy an expensive gown. It's normal for many young brides planning a wedding."

"Are you taking a psych class now? You aren't listening to me. Doug, really. It's not…"

"Anna, stop it. Talk to my mother as soon as you arrive at the hotel. She'll help you get over these fears."

If you can't say something nice…Anna cleared her throat.
