She shrugged. I turned to see my mom moving furniture. Beth was bringing chairs in from the kitchen. Kate left the house and then returned with boxes.
“This is a perfect spot for us to conduct business. Let’s pull the table in here,” my mom said.
“What the hell is going on?” I yelled.
Everyone froze and stared at me.
“We’re planning your wedding,” my mom said.
“What?”
“Elizabeth called me and told me the good news about you setting a date and holding the wedding at the vineyard. It’s a lovely spot, but we don’t have time to waste if you’re going to get married in the spring. No more dragging your feet.”
“The spring.” I repeated.
“Are you having trouble hearing me?”
“She’s hungover,” Rebecca supplied helpfully.
I sneered at her, and she rolled her lips inward.
“I’m fine. I’m just wondering what gave you the idea that I’d picked a date.”
“When we went over the calendar at my house, I thought you said that date would work,” Beth said.
I quickly went through my memory. I had said that, but it was more to placate her than to lock down a date.
“I…I haven’t talked to Sid about it.”
My mom waved her hand in a circle. “He won’t care. Just tell him when to be there.”
Before I could argue, Mindy grabbed my arm and pulled me to the couch. The doorbell rang again, and I stood, but Mindy pushed me down and answered the door. Peter and Charlie walked in with a box of coffee from Grateful Cup and bags from Lettuce Eat.
“We got wraps, salads, coffee, and soda.”
“Thank you, babe,” Kate said. Her head was down, and she was digging around in the boxes. She took out the books we had looked at before as well as a bunch of other things. “After we eat, we can go over everything. Kat, I have samples of the flowers you picked and a couple of colors that would look great for spring.”
“I picked flowers?” I asked.
“She really is having a rough day,” Kate said. Her laugh was so pure and genuine that it was hard to be mad at her. But I didn’t remember picking anything. In fact, after I told her the flowers were nice, I bolted. Did that mean I agreed again? Shit, I needed to pay more attention.
I took out my phone, ready to send Sid an SOS text, but then thought better of it. He’d seemed stressed when he left earlier, and I didn’t want to make things worse. I would handle this. I just had to dodge everything and not agree to a single thing.
“Tomorrow we’re going to pick out your wedding dress,” Beth said from beside me.
Shit. There went that plan.
“Tomorrow? As in Monday?” I asked. She nodded. She was so sweet it was hard to tell her no.
“Doesn’t everyone have to work? Mindy, don’t you have a lot of work to do for Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday?” Would Sid be back?
“I closed my store for the day, and Faith is going to open Laney’s,” Mindy said. “There’s a Black Friday sale at the dress shop that we can’t miss.”
I frowned. “But tomorrow is Monday.”
She laughed. “It’s for the week.”
“Well, who will watch the twins?” I asked.
