“Alright, we're going to set the tables now. Do you want them lining the dance floor or in a zig-zag sort of pattern?”

Jen looked like a deer in headlights. “What do you think?”

“Wow, that's the first I've seen you indecisive.”

“I think I just got sick.”

I smiled reassuringly. “Take a breath. We're in this together, remember? Let's see how the first option looks. I'll take a picture and then we can look at the second option.”

“That sounds good. I trust you.”

“Great—alright, boys!”

I started handing out instructions left and right. The reception room filled with noise as they maneuvered the tables and chairs where I told them to go. After several minutes of loud screeching, the tables were in their first position. I took a picture as promised and dove into my next set of instructions. After another several minutes, we finished setting up and we were back to deciding what worked.

Jen chose the second option. From there, we went into basic decorations and, before I knew it, the day had flown right past me. I ended up collapsing in my bed at my sister's house with Levon's voice still circling my brain.

I blinked through my exhaustion.

It doesn't matter, I reflected.I forgot to ask, but it doesn't matter. I don't even care. I don't want to get sucked in all over again.

And with that, I fell right to sleep.

CHAPTER9

Levon

I shutthe front door behind me while holding a pile of letters in both hands.

“I got the mail!”

I walked briskly into the living room where Jen was perched on the couch with a clipboard in her hand. She had a stack of letters to her left that she had made a fair dent in.

I hesitantly set the new stack next to her.

“Looks like you got a lot more RSVP letters, sis,” I reported. “Do you want me to help you go through them?”

“Maybe. I'm trying to catch up on the ones that came in yesterday.”

I stared at the letters. “That's quite a stack to go through all by yourself.”

She smiled warmly at me, patting the cushion to her right. “Well, if you don't mind, you can write down the people attending while I open the letters.”

“Sounds like a good plan to me.”

I relaxed into the couch and accepted the clipboard from her. As she reached for the letter at the top of the stack, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I stared at the clipboard in my hands while listening to the vibration erupting from my pants. Jen was already tearing open a new envelope.

“Are you going to get that?”

I sighed. “Yeah, I just didn't want to interrupt your process.”

“That's okay. Take your call if you need.”

“Thanks, little bean. It'll just take a second.”

I pulled my phone from my pocket, instantly answering the call. “Hey, boss.”

“Levon! How's the family?”
