Blake from behind, standing between her mother and father. My trusty mediator .
“Oh my God!” Kaylie yelled.
The group silenced.
“Where’s everyone else? Where are our dresses? Where’s Sally and Max? Nancy, Rusty, Chase, and Michelle? They’re coming, right? What about Gage?” Her eyes shot to Chaz. “Where’s your family? I’m still waiting to meet your brother. Weren’t they supposed to arrive around the same time?”
“There was so much confusion that I forgot to tell you. Mom and Weston are coming together. She was visiting him this week. Don’t worry, but they had to switch to a later flight because of Weston’s schedule. He had an emergency surgery.” Chaz weathered Kaylie’s moods like a sturdy ship in a storm. He picked up Lexi when she toddled by and kissed her on the cheek with a loud mmwah ! “Abby and Astrid are coming in later tonight.”
“He’s having surgery and coming in the same day?” Chelsea asked.
Chaz laughed. “No. He’s an orthopedic surgeon. He had to perform the surgery.”
“Oh, you mean like Callie on Grey’s Anatomy !” Marie said in an entirely too serious voice.
Chaz looked bewildered, so Danica chimed in before Marie got started on the characters and their backstories from Greys . “Sally, Gage, the kids, and our dresses should be here within the hour, depending on the immigration lines, and Blake’s dad is arriving around the same time.” Danica slid beneath Blake’s arm, listening to her mother and Madeline talking about women they knew in high school and wondering why she felt like she was in an episode of As the World Turns .
The twins needed naps, and everyone was a bit harried from all of the excitement, so the group went their separate ways with a plan to meet in the lobby for a late lunch when the others arrived.
A gentle, warm breeze sifted through the large branches of the palm trees that shaded the porch where Danica and Blake relaxed on a wooden swing built for two.
“I love how the water is so clear. Isn’t it beautiful?” Danica rested her head on Blake’s shoulder, finally feeling like the confusion was beginning to settle down.
“Gorgeous,” Blake said. “What do you make of your mom and dad?”
Danica sat up. “It’s weird, isn’t it? I thought it was all in my head.”
“There was definitely something going on. I know men, and I think I know women pretty well, and I definitely smelled smoke.”
She groaned. “Me too. That’s all I need. Kaylie won’t even talk to my father, and she called Madeline the evil mistress.”
“Hm. Evil mistress. I like that.”
She punched his arm.
“Babe, I’m not sure what you think is going to happen over the next twenty-four hours, but you’ve gotta know that Kaylie may never come around, and that’s gotta be okay.”
He was right. She knew he was, but the last thing she wanted was for Kaylie’s wedding day to be even more stressful. She could deal with stress at her own wedding. Hell, she expected it. It was a wedding. But Kaylie had come so far, and now, with her turnaround with Lacy, she had such high hopes that Kaylie would step up to the plate and find some cordial ground with their father.
“Whatever Kaylie does is okay. This is her life.”
“Yeah, but it’s yours, too.” He kissed her forehead. “It’s ours.”
Chapter Fourteen
Kaylie’s voice carried outside to the veranda. “Max!”
Another swarm of activity brought Danica and Blake back into the lobby. Sally and Rusty, Sally’s teenage son, and Chase, Rusty’s half brother, stood beside Nancy and her daughter, Michelle, while they checked in at the front desk. Max, Chaz’s assistant, had her nose in her day planner. She looked up over her red eyeglasses and held up a finger to the woman behind the desk.
“It’s all under control. I’ve got the dresses. They were delivered earlier today, and Treat’s assistant has them safely put away. The bridesmaids gowns, too. The flowers—”
