"So, what do you think we should do?"
Jayden's grin was full of mischief. "Maybe we should go introduce ourselves."
"Do you think that is a wise idea?"
"Well, you want them salivating after us and not Will, don't you?"
"Well, yes."
Jayden jabbed a finger in Marv and Ricky's direction. "Then that's the way to do it. Just follow my lead, and don't mention your son unless I do." He started walking toward the two men.
Wilson grabbed his arm and pulled him to a stop. "Wait, why?"
"Because I'm hoping to throw them off Will's trail by giving them a meatier story. Wasn't that our plan all along?"
"Well, yeah, but I thought we were going to do an interview or something."
"Oh, we will." Jayden winked at Wilson. "Marv's head is going to spin when he learns he's the only newspaper not being given press access to this circus."
Wilson's eyes narrowed. "You think our wedding is a circus?"
Jayden almost said yeah but quickly changed his mind when he saw the hurt in Wilson's brown eyes. "I think this thing with the media is a circus."
Wilson stared at him for a moment before nodding. "Maybe you're right."
"You know I am."
"So, how do you want to play this then?"
"Like I said, just follow my lead." Jayden held tight to Wilson's hand as he led him through the small crowd toward Marv and Ricky. He wasn't really sure what he was going to say to the two men until he stood next to their table and spotted his bags on the floor next to Marv's chair. He didn't think they'd had his laptop long enough to break his passwords. At least, he hoped they hadn't.
He reached down and grabbed them before either of the two men could stop him. "Funny, I thought I left these in my car."
"Jayden!" Marv jumped to his feet. "I was…uh…just keeping an eye on them for you."
He'd never seen Marv so nervous. The man's eyes were bouncing between him and Wilson like a tennis ball.
"Yes," Ricky said as he stood. "We saw that someone had broken into your car and thought it would be best to keep an eye on your stuff for you."
"How…generous of you." Jayden wanted to smack the guy. He didn't but only because he was holding Wilson's hand. "Well." Jayden smiled brightly. "We'd better get going. We have a lot to do before this weekend."
"Do?" Ricky asked.
"What happens this weekend?" Marv asked at the very same time.
Jayden cocked his head. "I thought Ricky would have told you, Marv."
"Told me what?"
"Wilson and I are getting married this weekend."
"Married!" Marv shouted.
"Yes." Jayden grinned before pressing against Wilson. "Isn't that right, my love?"
"Yes, we're very excited," Wilson replied in the same cheerful voice Jayden had used. "And I understand I have you to thank for Jayden and I meeting, Marv."
"Me?"
