I woke up the next morning floating on a cloud. A lady doesn’t tell, but let’s just say the wedding night more than lived up to expectations.
I was more in love with my husband than ever and couldn’t wait to spend the next ten days with him, free of work and family obligations as we kicked off our new life together.
We’d spent last night in his house so we could have some privacy, but I wanted to swing back and say goodbye to everyone at my place before we officially took off.
Everyone was up and waiting, eager to show me all the wonderful photos they’d snapped the day before. I looked forward to seeing them, but it would have to be later. At least ten days later.
“I love you,” I told the group that comprised Nan, Grant, Grandma Lyn, Mom, Dad, Mags, Sharon, and Christine, plus five mostly happy cats and one very excited little dog. “But we’ll have to catch up once I’m back. Bye!”
Charles picked me up in his arms and carried me over the threshold—albeit moving in the wrong direction of what tradition dictated, the goof. He delivered me to the passenger side of his car and opened the door with a sweeping, knightly gesture. “My lady.”
I giggled as I clicked my seatbelt into place.
My husband started up the car, and everyone gathered on the porch to wave. Nan even waved Paisley’s little paw for her. Best of all, I could see Pringle hiding just around the side of the house, jumping up and down and waving with both arms.
“Shall we, Mrs. Longfellow?” my husband asked from beside me, a huge grin gleaming on his handsome face.
“We shall, Mr. Longf—Aaaaah!” I shouted in surprise as a giant blob of white hit the windshield right in front of me.
I unbuckled myself, opened the door, and bolted out just in time to see a flash of white flying over the house. “Hahaha,” Alpha cawed in victory as he moved out of sight. “Nailed it!”
Well, poop.
It looked like he’d gotten his revenge, after all.
