“What?” I give her a questioning look.
“She’s been asking me questions and I think Chloe gets away when she’s planning, if not napping.”
I start to laugh. “I can see that. Mom has been paying the party planner extra to work on her time. I’m sure it’s going to be quite the affair.”
I look around us, then turn back to face her with a smile on my lips. Reaching up, I run my hand down her cheek.
“As beautiful as this night is, you outshine it all. I love you. If you want to come back, we’ll make a trip as soon as all the events back home are over.”
“Events, ugh. Don’t remind me. Your mom has taken over planning our wedding. Sid is lucky Eileen’s here with me. Did you know she’s been having Sid FaceTime her for dress shopping?”
I chuckle. “I may have heard something about that.”
Chloe frowns and a puzzled look crosses her face. “Sid and Clay are planning a real wedding too. Do you think they’ll go through with it? I think your mother will be heartbroken if they don’t, she really likes Sid.”
“We don’t talk about it when I get a chance to talk to him. I can’t say either way.”
“He better not hurt my friend. She sounds happy.”
“Cee, Sid and Clay are both adults. He’s not going to intentionally hurt her. Neither of us knows what’s going on in his or Sid’s heads. When we get back, we’ll learn what’s going on. Until then, let’s enjoy our life.”
I don’t tell her I plan to call Clay to tell him we’re heading back. I don’t want to be placed in the middle of Clayton’s situation. He’s obsessed with Sidney. I can’t say he won’t go through with the wedding.
This is Clay. He’s always a step ahead. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out he’s already married Sidney. Whatever’s going on with them, I don’t get the feeling Clay would allow Sidney to get hurt in any of this.
Chloe snorts, but she moves to come sit between my legs. The richly colored rugs are so cool beneath us. The night has cooled down and is much more bearable.
I can see why Cee wants to stay. There is a magic here, but I’m determined to find our stride back home.
