Chip and Ava swayed to the music. The song had ended but another slow song came on. Angel of Mine by Monica. “Oh, I love this song,” Ava said. “Can we keep –” “May I cut in?” Ava’s and Chip’s heads snapped over to see Ray Steele. “Ray, I . . . What are you doing here?” Ava was stunned. The King Cole Bar wasn’t his style at all. “Jesse wanted to get out for a little bit. Who’s your friend?” Ray asked. “Oh, Chip, this is Ray Steele. Ray, this is Chip Dandridge, a friend of my brother’s,” Ava said. They shook hands as they exchanged pleasantries. “Do you mind if I dance with the lady for a minute?” Ray asked Chip. “Not at all, “Chip said politely. “Ava, I’ll be back at our table.” He walked away without saying another word. Ray took her in his arms. Ava placed her hands on his shoulders. “That wrist doesn’t hurt?” Ray asked as they b

A week later . . . Ava had gone back to the Waldorf Astoria three days ago per an invitation from Ray. He had sent the boys back to Townsend with Jesse. Ray had said that they needed to get back to school, despite them being able to do their work on the county school portal. Plus, someone had to go back to check on the ranch.When Ava had asked Ray why he wasn’t going back with them, he had looked at her and said, “I can’t go back yet. I have one more thing I have to do here.” Then he had actually winked at her. And it actually made Ava blush as butterflies flipped in her tummy – and it was definitely not morning sickness. Ray hadn’t made her feel like that since she’s had amnesia. Ray had invited her to stay so they could have lunch together, but she had refused and bid him goodbye.Ava was at her penthouse when the butler came in with a package and a note. He sat the package down on the couch next to her and handed her the note. She opened the envelope.Ava,

The next day . . . Ava had gone to her mother’s penthouse. She and Simon were going back to England tonight. Ava caught them up on the latest. “I’m so glad he proposed to you,” her mother said. “But I can’t believe you told him you think about it.” Simon had left them to enjoy a cup of tea in the parlor. They were sitting in the den. “You can’t? You think I should have said yes?” “Do you love him?” “Yes.” “Then, yes, you should have told him yes right away. But it’s your life. I had promised you I wouldn’t interfere, and I would support your decisions.” “Hold on,” Ava said putting her finger up in the air. “Pretend – just this once I didn’t ask you to make that promise and tell me why you think I should have said yes right away.” “First of all, you love him, and he obviously loves you considering everything he has done to try to impress you and show you that.” “Wait

Ray yawned as the limo driver pulled up along the waiting jet. It was a big sucker. Whatever. As long as it got Ray home in one piece, he didn’t care. He didn’t care much about anything now. Ava wasn’t coming back with him this morning, which had put him in a slight depression. He knew there was still a chance she would say yes to his proposal and come to him but waiting for however long was excruciating. Some sort of flight attendant took Ray’s luggage from the driver. He carried it up the steps to the plane. “It’s been a pleasure serving you, Mr. Steele. I hope I get the opportunity again when you come back to our great city,” the driver said. Great? Shit. Everything is ridiculously expensive, my son nearly got killed by some methed-out driver, the traffic is the shits, the citizens are rude as all hell - bumping into you in the street and don’t say excuse me, and it’s louder than a military base in this place. Fuck this city. I don’t know what ev

Ava was in a dressing room at the church with her mother and bridesmaids. Ava’s dress was a fit and flare silhouette with a two-foot train. It had long sleeves and a bateau neckline. At the lower half of the skirt, three peonies were sewn in a group in light gray threading. The length of the veil came to her lower waist. The lining of the veil was etched with white thread peonies shape designs. Her bridesmaids had long-sleeved dresses and were a fit and flare design like Ava’s except their dresses did not have a train. The rose-colored bridesmaid dresses complimented all their complexions. They had taken pictures at the Bartholomew mansion where they had gotten dressed. Now they were waiting for Ray and the groomsmen to arrive so they could start the ceremony. There was a knock on the door. Ava’s sister, Ruby, answered it. Ruby’s red hair was up in a loose bun with curls at the top and ringlets around her face. It was Eduardo
