June linked her arm under his as they walked down the driveway. Her heels were gently used, but new to her. She hadn’t walked in high heels in at least a year and appreciated his support. Wolfie opened her door, helped her in and his hand slid along her back side, feeling what he could before she sat.

His door opened and closed behind him, “I can’t wait for tonight.” His eyes on her body.

“Let’s go then.” She looked at his tux she had altered and it fit him perfectly. June felt proud of her work.

He turned the wheels of his Jeep and headed south on the main road. Wolfie grabbed her hand, kissing the back of it as he turned into the filled parking lot. Couples, singles and groups of people between the ages sixteen and ninety littered the parking lot in formal, fantasy formal and semi formal attire. June’s hand was sweating in her lap as he opened her door and she placed her heel firmly to the ground, stepping cautiously.

“Thank you.” She linked her arm to his again.

“Thank you.” He responded, kissing her between cars. “Let’s go.”

They entered the decorated community center, the lights low with twinkling lights above, a small band played gently in the corner. Each table held a table cloth, flowers and utensils wrapped in cloth napkins for each seat. “Over there,” He pointed to his mom and Amy sitting at an empty table. Her heels clicked as they walked across the hardwood floor. June felt beautiful and adored.

“Hi!” She squealed, approaching the table for eight.

Marilyn stood to embrace June, “You look absolutely stunning.” She pulled away to look at her dress, “Did you make this?”

“Yes.” Wolfie answered for June, proud of her with his hand warming the small of her back as his thumb brushed her bare back.

“It’s beautiful.” She turned to hug Wolfgang, “Hi son, you look handsome as well.”

He pulled out her chair, gliding it under her as she sat, “You two look nice.” June looked at Amy and Marilyn.

“Thank you.” Amy smiled. “How are you two doing?”

“We’re good.” June grinned as Wolfie threw his arm around her, resting it on the back of her chair.

“That is great, I’m sure you’ll be happy for work to slow down after this.”

June raised her brow, “Absolutely, I’ve been pretty stressed.”

Wolfie rubbed her bare arm with his palm, “Maybe ask Golden for a week off, you could stay at my place and do nothing.”

“That sounds nice.” June sighed as she spotted Shianne and Max approaching them. “Hey guys.”

“Hey,” Max spoke as Shianne hung behind him. “We’re expecting a fun night, do you mind if we sit here?”

Wolfgang looked at his mother and Marilyn blinked, smiling, “Go ahead.”

Max sat Shianne next to Wolfie and sat next to her. The table was quiet as Max asked her, “Do you want to tell them?”

“Sure,” Shianne looked around the table, blushing, “We’re expecting.”

June attempted to be supportive, “Congratulations.” She smiled and thought about the hatchet they buried.

“Yes, congratulations.” Wolfie nodded towards Max.

“When are you due?” Marilyn joined the conversation.

Shianne rubbed her stomach, “The end of November. We have a while, but the baby is healthy.”

Max spoke up, “We also plan to marry in July, so Wolfie won’t have to worry about a baby crying at all hours.”

“That’s awesome, congrats man.” Wolfie smiled at Max and noticed motion from the corner of his eye. “Oh hey guys.”

Whitney and Fade walked up to the table, “Hello.” Whitney hugged June as she stayed sitting down, “You look beautiful, I love your dress.”

“So do you, this green is amazing on you.”
