Chp. 27: the Wasted Wedding Dress

"Ya honor, I object," 

Kendall dropped Eric's hands in shock. In the corner of her eye, she saw Francis stand up. Christian fainted. Anthony stood up as well. Rosaline grinned noticeably. 

Then, he turned around, and exited the church. 

Francis looked at her. The crowd erupted in murmurs and questions. 

"Darling?" 

"Ex-Excuse me," Kendall walked fast out of the church. At her feet, she saw a note. 

You know where to find me. 

"Kenny Sullivan!" She heard an angry voice and a hand grab her arm. "What do you have to say about this?!" 

"Jack, don't yell at her!" There was Anthony. 

"You knew about this, and you didn't tell me?" 

"She didn't tell me either, calm down!" 

"She told me," Rosaline says. 

"Not the time, Ros--what?"

"I knew about Mr. Conlon's existence," 

"The whole time!?" It was Anthony's turn to be angry. 

"No, just after she came back from the plantation," 

"Why the hell didn't you tell me!?" Jack was enraged. 

"Because you would react like this!" Kendall snapped. "It was a lot for me to take in, and you would only overwhelm me more," 

"What did he do to you? Was he inappropriate?!" 

Only every minute he was here, she thought. 

"No, of course not,"

"This is absurd--why did he do what he did?" 

"Reasons still remain unheard," She muttered. 

"So you have been sneaking around with him?" Anthony says. "Sounds like the old Kenny is shining through," 

"No, no, you know my morals. He bothered me to no end, showing up at the manor and the plantation," She explained. "He just successfully made me fall for him again, to my chagrin no doubt." 

"So, then what happened as you approached the wedding?" 

"At the plantation, when I was alone, we spent our last savored moments together. We both agreed it was for the best that we be apart." 

"Why has he returned then?" 

"Because he realized he's a damned fool and that she is the best thing that has ever happened to him!" Rosaline burst. 

All heads turned to her in confusion. 

"Sorry, this is all very enjoyable for me," She said sheepishly. 

Anthony grinned and put his hand on her waist. 

"That boy is so unpredictable," Jack sighed. 

"Looks like more than a boy to me," Rosaline grinned and poked Kendall. 

"Rosaline," Jack scolded. 

"Kenny, I can only imagine your shock and stress when he showed back up," 

"You, you called me Kenny," 

"That is your name," 

"You usually address me with my full name," She says. "I guess this just goes to show you how much our lives our changing,"
