Page 30 of Memories of You

I don’t know. But I’m telling you now.

I think it’s great.

I love Elise. But why the wedding now?

You guys have been living together for years.

We should have the moment it was legal.

Better late than never. I don’t want to wake up oneday

and find out that something happened and

regret that we never made it official.

What’s going to happen?

I shouldn’t have to explain that to somebody

who fights bad guys for a living.

You never know what life has in store for you.

Think about my hearing. Things can change in an instant,

and I don’t want to regret anything.

I get that.

And he did. Abby was filling his mind. Her smile, her touch.

Mom, I think it’s really great.

You do?

Of course. When’s the wedding?

We haven’t decided. But I’ll make sure

that the date is clear with you and Red.

And Abby, he thought. He knew that wasn’t hismother’s intention, but this conversation had shifted something inside him,changing the way he thought about her. The way he thought about them.

I need to go. I was just running out the

door when you texted. I love you baby.

I love you too mom.

Give Elise a hug for me.

Have you told Red?

No, not yet. But I will. It’s my news.

Can you keep a secret from your brother?

LOL. No. You know that.
