Banks snickered.
“BOYS!” LeeAnn snapped at the two men, who both had the good grace God gave them to snap to and shut the hell up.
King chuckled, leaning close to LeeAnn. “Remind me to patch you into the club after this is all over.”
As soon as everyone calmed down, the wedding planner jumped in and took over. “It’s two weeks before the wedding and we have a lot to cover today. So let’s get started.”
Tuning everyone out, I opened my folder to go over some last-minute reservations when I noticed Devlyn slide next to me.
“This is going to be pure chaos.”
“Yep,” I agreed wholeheartedly.
“Where are the brats?”
“Granny took them for the day so they wouldn’t be underfoot. They will be back before dinner,” I said, jotting down a few notes before asking, “Why aren’t you over with the others paying attention?”
“Because I’m not in the wedding. I’m just here for the laughs.”
I chuckled. “Well, there’s guaranteed to be plenty of those.”
“I still can’t believe LeeAnn got King to walk her down the aisle.”
“She got everyone. Kids included.”
“Good God,” Devlyn groaned. “It’s going to be a three-ringed circus.”
“Nope. Just a true Southern wedding. Everyone takes part.”
“So who’s the hottie talking to Jack?” Devlyn asked.
Looking up, I scanned the room and found my dad talking with Rome and smirked. “My cousin.”
“He’s yummy.”
“He’s taken.”
“I don’t see a ring.”
I chuckled. “Best leave that one alone, Dev. Trust me.”
“Oh well.” The woman shrugged. “Heard Trip is going to be released in a few days. Still can’t believe that idiot finally woke up. Should have known he’d never miss a party. So how did the talk go with George?”
Snapping my folder closed, I sighed. “It didn’t.”
“What do you mean? I thought you went to the barbeque.”
“I did go.”
“Then what happened?”
I just looked at Dev, giving her a minute to think, when she rolled her eyes and sighed. “Craaap.”
“Yeah,” I muttered. “I got there and managed to say hi before all hell broke loose. I haven’t seen him since.”
“You will see him tonight,” a wispy, soft voice said.
Turning around, I found myself staring at a beautiful, whimsical woman with long, dark wavy hair and the brightest amber eyes I’d ever seen in my life. She was stunningly beautiful.
