I then call my father, who answers right away. "Hey, Dad," I say, trying to make my voice sound normal.
"Hey, honey," he says. "How’re you doing?"
"Good, good," I say. "I was just wondering if the job offer was still on the table?" I ask him, and he laughs.
"Of course, it is," he says softly. "Anytime you want it."
"Great, I’ll take it," I say, looking over my shoulder at the house I just ran out of. The lump in my throat is making it hard to swallow.
"That’s great. What changed your mind?" he asks, because two weeks ago he called and gave me the job opportunity, and I turned him down, knowing I would likely stay in the city next to Travis.
"Just had a change of heart is all," I say, not ready to talk about what just happened. "Hey, do you think you can come down and help me pack up my stuff?"
"Sure can," he says. "Just name the time and place."
"I’ll text you later," I say, taking a deep breath, and I hang up. "I’m going home," I say to the universe, not sure what the universe has in store for me.
FOUR YEARS LATER
"You have mail," my secretary, Donna, says, and I just nod at her, grabbing the pile of letters on the counter.
"Thank you." I look down at the stack of envelopes in my hand, and the big white square one catches my attention.
"Looks like a wedding invitation," she says when I look to see who it’s from. My heart stops in my chest. My hands drop everything else while I run my finger under the little sticker at the end.
Pulling out the white card, I can’t move. Everything around me feels like it’s spinning when I read the words.
You are cordially invited to the wedding of
Travis Baker & Jennifer Garner
Dearest Love,
Nothing says spring like wedding season. The flowers, the champagne, the wedding guests. Surrounded by all the people you love. Sigh...the romance, it's my favorite time of year.
Travis will soon be walking down the aisle. Or will he?
It seems a couple of orders were placed by mistake, or were they? It also looks like an invitation was sent out that wasn’t supposed to be sent out.
Will they get their happily ever after, or was he always meant for someone else?
Time will tell!
XOXO
