“Lord. I know I wouldn’t,” Savannah said.

“Neither would I.” Liz agreed. She knew having people other than family in her house would drive her crazy. Of course, she sometimes answered emails or made phone calls from home at night or on the weekends, but primarily she worked nine to five. “I need my office. It’s where the majority of my work gets done. I like to keep my office and home life separate.”

“A-men,” Tara said. “Plus I get walk-in traffic at the shop. I’d never want to lose that.”

“Or have them show up at your house,” Jenna said.

Tara nodded. “Exactly.”

“So I understand where Mick is coming from. He knows I miss Sam when I’m at work, but I also love my job and want to continue to do it.”

Kathleen rubbed her arm. “He just wants you to be happy.”

Tara smiled. “I am happy. Happier than I ever thought I’d be.”

“And speaking of all things happy,” Jenna said, “I have a few wedding details. Well, actually they’re not wedding details so much as they are the fun stuff before the wedding details. We have final dress fittings on Thursday night, and the bachelorette party trip is this weekend. Just in case any of you forgot, which I’m hoping you didn’t.”

“I definitely didn’t forget,” Liz said. “I’ve been looking forward to that trip for months.”

“Me, too,” Savannah said. “I can’t wait.”

“Everyone’s coming, right?”

“I will not be coming to the bachelorette party,” Jenna’s mom said.

“Aww, Mom, you know you’re welcome to come.”

Kathleen gave Jenna a smile. “I’ll be babysitting my adorable grandson this weekend so Tara can go. Besides, I’ve done my partying. You girls can go have some fun drinking and carousing. I’ll be happy to have Sam all to myself.”

Liz took out her phone. “By the way, I’m going to be out of town Monday through Thursday, but I’ll be back Thursday afternoon.”

Alicia nodded and grabbed her phone. “Are we doing the fitting at the bridal shop on Thursday? And what time?”

“Yes,” Jenna said. “At six thirty.”

“No problem.”

“Six thirty works for me, too,” Liz said. “My flight gets in at three.”

“What are we synchronizing our phones for, ladies?” Gavin asked as he walked in to get a beer. “Planning epic world domination?”

Liz laughed. “Sort of. Wedding stuff.”

“No, pre-wedding stuff,” Jenna corrected. “Dress fittings and the bachelorette party.”

Jenna turned to him. “Speaking of, care to share the details of the bachelor party with me?”

Gavin shot Jenna an enigmatic smile. “Nope.”

“Damn you, Gavin.”

He grinned at Jenna, screwed the top off his beer, then shot Liz a look. “You aren’t going to get drunk and dance naked on the table at a bar, are you?”

“I don’t know. Will you come rescue me if I do?”

“Sure. As soon as I get video.”

She shook her head. “And all this time I thought you were my protective knight in shining armor.”
