Kristen climbed in and I immediately introduced them.

“Drew, this is my sister, Kristen. Kristen, meet Drew Westbrook.”

“Hello, Kristen. It’s nice to finally meet you.”

“Likewise, Drew. Thank you for doing this for us.”

“No problem. It’s my pleasure to help you in any way I can. How was your lunch?”

“Lunch was good. The food was great, and I ran into someone I know.” I smirked.

“Really? Who?”

“Jess.”

“Fuck. What did she say?” He slowly shook his head.

“She wanted to know why I was in New York and then asked me if you knew I was here.”

Rolling his eyes, he sighed. “What did you tell her?”

“That you knew because we ran into each other and then she said we should do lunch some time.”

“You’re not going to, are you?”

“Of course not. Why would I?”

Roland pulled up to the Harmonie Club and the three of us climbed out and went inside. Drew told the lady at the desk to alert Lester that we had arrived.

“Good to see you, Drew.” Lester smiled as they shook hands. “Follow me and I’ll show you what’s available.”

He took us up to the third floor where the Harmonie Room was located.

“Take a look around and let me know what you think. This room holds up to three hundred and fifty guests very comfortably. If you’re interested in having the ceremony here, we can accommodate you in the main dining room for an additional fee and you’re free to decorate it how you wish.”

“Thank you, Lester. We’ll let you know.”

Giving Drew a pat on the back, he stepped out of the room while we looked around.

“Wow. This is beautiful,” Kristen spoke. “I’m afraid to ask how much this would cost.” She bit down on her bottom lip.

“Don’t worry about the cost, Kristen,” Drew spoke. “Being a member, I get a discount.” He winked.

After looking around, Kristen agreed to have the reception and ceremony at the Harmonie Club. Things were coming together, and I couldn’t be happier for her. After we climbed back into the Bentley, Roland drove us back to Kristen’s apartment.

“Are you coming up?” she asked me.

“I think I’m going to head home. You, my tired sister, need to go take a long nap.”

“True.” She smiled. “Call me later.” She leaned over and kissed my cheek. “Thank you again, Drew. You are a lifesaver.”

“You’re welcome. I’m happy you liked it.”

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Drew

After Kristen climbed out and shut the door, I placed my hand on Jillian’s cheek and stole a kiss.
