Since returning home, mom hardly left my side except when I slept.
She helped me plan every detail of the wedding.
As she put it, your once–in–a–lifetime wedding has to be perfect
Today, the Hendersons and Davis came to visit.
They brought many expensive gifts.
The Hendersons visited today with Davis, bringing an array of luxurious gifts.
Mrs. Henderson clasped an elegant diamond bracelet around my wrist, her eyes twinkling. “I can’t wait to have you in the family,” she smiled. “Maybe you can help me soften that serious son of mine.”
“He’s always so stoic,” she added with a fond shake of her head.
I blushed, glancing instinctively at Davis.
Sure enough, he wore his poker face.
“Mrs. Henderson, I…” I stumbled over my words. “Mr. Henderson…”
The moment that formal title slipped out, everyone turned to look at me.
Including The Mr. Henderson himself.
Davis’s expression was unreadable, almost mocking. “Miss Jefferson certainly understands the nature of this wedding
arrangement.”
