Chapter 10

Even though the ceremony wasn’t scheduled to start for another hour, Clay had asked that I show up early so we could go over a few things beforehand. Thankfully, my mother had arrived early also, so I wouldn’t have to ditch Eric in the company of strangers while I went off to find Clay. I spotted her chatting with Clay’s mother when Eric and I walked in. The two women had met once or twice while Clay and I had been seeing each other.

After a round of greetings and introductions, I left Eric with the ladies, then went to find Clay. A hostess stationed at the front foyer informed me that I’d find “Mr. Teal” in the upstairs bedroom just left of the staircase. I thanked her and headed that way. I was about to go upstairs when I heard a voice say, “I’m can’t believe you showed up, Patrick.”
