“What are you talking—” Presley cuts herself off as she points to the ring on Cash’s finger. “What is that?” she asks with a gasp.
“My wedding ring.”
“I’m sorry, your what?” she screeches.
“I got married.” Cash shrugs casually. “My wife is on a conference call, but she will come inside as soon as she’s finished. You don’t mind if we wait for her, do you, Mom?”
She gapes at him in shock.
“Your wife?” Presley laughs. “Very funny, Cash. Who put you up to this?” She turns her glacier stare on Jack. “Was it you?”
He holds his hands up in defense. “I know better than to play practical jokes on you, little vixen.”
“What about you two?” She glares at Harrison and me. “Because this joke is even less funny than the time you had Jack arrested.”
I hold my hands up in defense. “It wasn’t me.”
Harrison shakes his head. “I had nothing to do with this.”
Cash places his hand on Presley’s shoulder. “I’m serious, sis. We flew to Vegas last night and got hitched. We came straight to Aspen Grove after, so we could share the good news with our families.”
“Are you out of your mind?” my mom interjects, smacking him upside the head. “You got married and didn’t invite your own mother? Shame on you,” she scolds him.
You’ve got to be kidding me.
I pinch the bridge of my nose, trying to maintain my patience. Of course Mom doesn’t see the problem with Cash getting married, even though just last week he wasn’t dating anyone.
“Oh, here she is now,” Cash says enthusiastically.
Harrison and I exchange confused glances when Everly Townstead walks through my parents’ front door with a giant diamond on her ring finger.
“Oh, Everly,” my mother exclaims. “Welcome to the family, sweetheart.”
She pulls her into a big hug, and I don’t miss the glare Everly shoots Cash as he smirks back at her.
Things just got interesting.
