I'm in a light slumber when someone jumps on the bed. That someone is Jake.
“Sweetness, wake up!”
“I'm awake!” I grumble.
“Sweets, guess what that phone call was about?”
“Sweets? What the hell? Jake, I was almost asleep.”
“I like Sweets. And I'm in an extremely good mood. Don't you want to know why?”

“When are we getting cable and internet, love?” she asks before even saying hello.
“Yeah, when are we, love,” Drake teases.

This place
is buzzing with anticipation as everyone waits for the procession to
begin. I don't know why, but I'm extremely edgy. My mindset feels
like we're here for this wonderful day and something is going to ruin
it. Shatter the picture that will forever remain in our hearts. The
picture that should be entirely perfect.
This is the
day that will forever change our lives. This is the day that we will
remember always. Then why am I dreading it?

“Daddy,”
I start, keeping my voice sugary sweet.
“Don't
go there with me, Emily. I won't allow it.”

The hotel
room starts to get the feel of a bunch of chickens running around
with their head cut off as everyone continues to get ready. Mostly
Emily though. She didn't want to dirty up her dress so she's wearing
pajamas for now. As it gets closer to the time for us to leave, she
comes to pass me to go into the bathroom to change. I catch her by
the elbow.
“Sweetness,
relax.”
Her eyes
dart back and forth between mine before she lets out a flutter of
breath. “Sorry. I'm just a little nervous.”
“Everything's
going to be fine. It's a good day, remember?”
Sweetness
nods in affirmation and I kiss her forehead before releasing her
elbow.
