E with Mom and Dad and Jenna and Noah

I held out my hand for her to shake as I introducedanyone new, so I figured this must be one of the unfortunate sisters The bad part? I couldn’t remember which one he was supposed to be with at the moment

So I took a chance…and failed ht of my sisters, and the comical horror of my brother

"You must be Grace! Nice to finally meet you!"

She froze with her hand inonto rectify the situation by letting her know that I did know her name…which I didn’t "Lucy! I’m so sorry…I don’t knohere…I…hi!" I finally finished, my cheeks pinched into a wide sht as well have been plastic

She pulled her hand froritted out, "Lilly My name is Lilly" With teeth still clenched, she turned to Calland (as glaring at me, by the way) and asked, "Who’s Lucy? And ould she call me Grace? That’s my sister’s name…oh my God You’re the douchcanoe!" She wailed the last part, then buried her face in her hands before standing abruptly and darting out of the room

My eyes found Calland’s and I smiled sheepishly "Wow She picked up on that pretty quickly, huh? I uh, take it you didn’t tell her about her sister yet?"

He glared athirunted hat sounded like hter

"Jesus, Leah, what a way to ruin rowled "I hadn’t had a chance to tell her yet"

"Well, I’ht na," I replied snarkily

He sighed "Oh well The only reason I brought her was because I hadn’t figured out a way to tell her, yet, but that’s not hoanted it to happen" He puffed out a breath again and turned, ot home okay

I drifted away to find the bride and sa date, but then changed it at the last minute And I’m sorry I didn’t warn you, but that’s exactly why I didn’t--I couldn’t reht passed in a blur of dancing, drinking, and once again toasting the happy couple before we sent them off on their honeymoon in Key West, Florida

Once the reception hall was cleaned up (I’d told Chloe I’d make sure it was taken care of so they could leave), Ian and I headed hootten in the door and disarmed the alarm when his hands slide up my body to cuphot in that dress"

I whih the satin bodice, turning my head to nip at his shoulder as I breathed, "I bet I’d look a lot hotter out of it"
