Drew
Being invited to Kristen and Noah’s wedding thrilled me because I would see Jillian again. Remembering what Liam had said, I called Lia into my office.
“Yes, Drew.” She smiled as she walked in.
“Have a seat. There’s something I would like to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“I don’t know how to ask you this without sounding like a complete dick.”
She laughed. “Just come out with it.”
“Would you attend a wedding with me on Saturday evening at the Harmonie Club?”
“Is Jillian going to be there?”
Clearing my throat, I spoke, “Yes. She’ll be there.”
“She hasn’t met me yet. So, if we walk in together, she may think we’re seeing each other.” Her eye narrowed at me.
“Perhaps.” I folded my hands. “It’s a dick move, I know. You can thank Liam for that.”
She laughed. “I get it. I really do. And yes, I will attend the wedding with you.”
“Really? You don’t think I’m an asshole for doing this?”
“No. I don’t think that at all.”
“Thanks, Lia. Go buy yourself a new dress on me. Put it on the business account, and Liam will babysit Gretchen and Gigi for you.” I smiled.
“Really? That’s great because my babysitter is out of town this week and won’t be back until Monday.”
“Consider it done.”
“The girls will be excited. They like Liam and Avery.”
I smiled at her as she walked out of my office. Picking up my phone, I dialed Liam.
“What’s up, bro?” he answered.
“Lia is going with me to Jillian’s sister’s wedding on Saturday night, and you’re babysitting Gretchen and Gigi for her.”
“Dude, I have tickets to the playoffs for that night, and Avery is going out with her girlfriends.”
“Looks like you’ll have to watch the game from home. Your idea, man. Your idea.”
He sighed. “Fine. I didn’t think you’d do it so soon. I’ll have Sophie come over so she can keep the girls entertained, and I can watch the game. Man, you really suck right now.”
I let out a laugh. “Thanks, Liam. I’ll talk to you soon.”

Jillian
Cupping my hands over my mouth, tears filled my eyes as I stood and stared at my sister in her wedding dress.
