The wedding was more whimsical than expected but enjoyable…. I can’t begin to imagine the gall that possessed the chromosomal unit to think it realistically conceivable that they had ANY right to be at the wedding-while Loren & Lars may not want to know the info Jay’s investigation yielded, *** I would want that info in the super epilogue, lol!!***
It was that barring from the gate moment that generated one of the most powerful lines for me:
”We freeze and slowly look left.
Jay, Taylor, Derek, Seamus, Will, Scott, Garrett, Shawn, and Marcus stare at us with their arms crossed.”
This cross section of important people from Jay’s childhood, school days and work life packed a punch with me; while that is typically what a wedding party is composed of, their absolute support of Jay (and by extension, Loren) in dealing with that situation warmed my heart:
“That’s not true.” Scott says. “I had the firm’s private investigator pull every piece of paper he could find. I found some interesting information on the lead prosecutor, Paul Messner.”
Is Paul Messner a former lover? The twins’ father, perhaps?
“It’s time for you to get the hell out.” Seamus tells them. “Now.”
That was Seamus standing up for his boy Loren. ❤️
Cousin’s camp looks like the blast we all thought it would, though it looks like it will have to be held at an actual campground with the population explosion of the next generation, lol!!
This chapter and story ended on the sweetest of notes…***it would be great if that super epilogue covered the thought process that changed Loren’s mind*** because that was a monumental shift.
This whole story was a gift, one of many you’ve provided on this site (my fave still remains “Tied up in Knotts”) 😍
Thank you for sharing your fantastic storytelling skills, it’s been a great ride.
