“So, what do you think?” Candace asked eagerly.
“It’s good,” Maisie replied.
“If it’s an autumn wedding?”
“Still good.”
“But does it fit the season?”
“You finally set a date?” Rory asked Candace as she approached. “You guys didn’t tell me that.”
“Not yet. We keep going back and forth on the whole thing because of Keith’s family. We throw out a date. Some can make it and others can’t, so we try another one.”
“But it’s in the autumn?”
“I don’t know, Rory. Probably. Maybe. It might be,” Candace said. “Not next year, though. Well, it might still be next year.”
Rory laughed and replied, “I am the maid of honor, you know? Probably important for me to know this information sooner rather than later, Candace.”
“I’ll tell you right after I tell my wedding planner,” Candace said, nodding over at Linden, who was standing next to her girlfriend, Asher, talking to Logan and Gwen. “When do you think Linden’s going to ask her?”
“Why do you assumeLindenwill be the one to ask?”
“Oh, come on,” Candace replied.
“They haven’t been together all that long,” Rory said. “Since what? April? Right before Logan and I got together.”
“Yes, exactly.”
“Exactly what?” Rory asked her. “Logan and I already moved in together quickly. Are you suggesting we should be getting married soon?”
“Uh… I heard my name,” Logan said, walking over and glaring at Candace. “What are we talking about? Candace’s wedding?”
“No, ours,” Rory said.
“What? Our what?” Logan asked.
“Candace here thinks you and I should be getting married soon, even though we just started dating six months ago.”
“She does,doesshe?” Logan asked, extending that glare to Candace again.
“Crazy, huh?” Rory said with a laugh and wrapped her arms around Logan. “Don’t get me wrong – I love you. I’d marry you yesterday. But we’ll get there when we get there.”
“Yeah, we will,” Logan replied as she wrapped an arm around Rory’s shoulders and smiled.
Then, she glared at Candace for a third time.
“I think I’m going to find Keith,” Candace said.
“Good idea,” Logan agreed before asking Rory, “Want to go in the back and maybe grab some of that pie we just got in to celebrate?”
“Sure,” Rory replied with a smile.
“You’re not grabbing pie, are you?” India teased.
“We’re notonlygrabbing pie,” Logan said.
“Logan!” Rory laughed, but she pulled Logan along until they were behind the swinging door.
