Meet me at Midnight

Chapter 16: June Bride

      Hadley, Erill, Celia and Calypso sat on Fenella's bed laughing. The girls had become the best of friends. They were planning Hadley's wedding... fine tuning the plans.

      Erill thumbed through the papers and started the rundown "Okay, colors are pastel blue and cream, theme is outdoors in the summer..."

     "With a Victorian flare." Calypso added.

     "Eri has the cake and Food taken care of, venue is Fenris farms."

      Celia cringed "There was a mudslide just this morning because of the excess rain we got last week, the place is a mess. Can we move it last minute?"

     Eri flipped the pages over and made a note "we can move it to the restaurant, it will be easier because of food." Hadley nodded "okay, moving on... None of the bouquets or floral arrangements are to made using cut plants every thing is to be planted afterwards..." she looked up at Hadley "where?"

     "We don't know yet." She frowned. "He can't live at home with his parents because of what the extended family is doing. But it's breaking his heart to be away from the nursery."

     Suddenly there was a knock on Fenella's bedroom door "come in." She watched the door carefully

     "Hi," Beau peeked in "sorry to disturb but my wedding present just went through. And yes I used, in part anyways... the icons card."

     "It can wait, and that's fine."Hadley smiled at him.

      "No it can't, I purchased the block of rundown brownstones next to Pylan's family nursery. The brownstones buildings were purchased by Allan, so yes I've made money on this. He's relocating them off the property as soon as he can without being seen. So you can expand the nursery and live there." Beau fidgeted nervously "by family and out of the bitching part of the families reach. I just need you to sign papers."

Hadley ran to him and threw her arms around him. "Thank you, solving our biggest problem right now is the perfect wedding present. Does Pylan know?" She started looking through the papers.

    "No, I haven't seen him."

    "You need to tell him he's going to flip!" Hadley brushed away tears of relief. "This was a great deal." She smiled up at him then began signing the forms.

"Those brownstones will come In handy, good job Beau" Fenella adjusted the blankets around her "you solved more then one problem."

"Okay, who told you?"

"Sorry it slipped out" Erill blushed "I'm worried about you so I was just venting and..."

"It's okay sweetheart." Beau smiled "everyone has times where they are..."

"Depressed," Calypso smiled at him.

    "I was going to say in need of flushing out the build up..." he pointed at Erill "not referring to me."

"Are you okay?" He fought the tears as soon as the question was asked making Calypso rush over and give him a big hug.

"Not sure?" He felt the turmoil inside him bubbling up as he brought attention to it. "I feel so guilty for shunning her, if I had just listened..."

"Wanna distraction?" Calypso sat back down on the bed and adjusted the papers with the wedding plans, nervously fussing with them.

"Yes but Richmond beat you to it."

"Good man," Celia smiled "he does listen to me." She winked at Beau.

Beau laughed, "we are going to hit the bazaar that's in Giant territory. Tell me that's a joke, are there really giants?"
