Forty-Eight: Summer, 1998

"It has!" Anne grinned. "What, fifteen years, give or take a few?" She chuckled.

Shelby smiled as she sat down next to her lover, taking her hand, lacing their finger together.

"Yes! But you still look the same, except for your hair!" Audrey said excitedly, caressing her lover's hand.

"Thank you." Anne smiled. "You look the same too!" She said before turning to Shelby. "And you must be the lovely fiancé."

Shelby blushed as she nodded. "Yes. It's nice to meet you."

"Thank you." Audrey smiled shyly. "And yes! This is my lovely, love of my life fiancé, Shelby."

"There you go with the whole love stuff." Alice teased.

Shelby chuckled shyly. She wasn't sure if she was allowed to tease Alice, so she was going to leave it to her lover.

"Well, I think it's adorable," Anne said with a smile.

"Me too." Audrey nodded softly as she scooted her chair next to her lover. "And what are you talking about, all nervous about tonight after lunch." The actress teased.

"Shh!" Alice blushed fiercely.

Shelby let out a small knowing chuckled.

"What were you nervous about, love?" Anne asked.

Audrey bit her lip as she watched her sister.

"Um... asking you to be my girlfriend," Alice confessed.

"Why on earth were you nervous about that? I would have said yes ages ago... I was just waiting for you to ask." Anne said with a smile.

"Awe," Shelby smiled.

"Because I just love you so much," Alice said shyly.

"Cut with the love stuff," Audrey teased back.

Shelby chuckled at her lover's remark. "Oh, leave the poor woman alone."

Audrey gasped playfully with her lover's words. "You were supposed to be at my side!" She teased.

"See? I'm irresistible." Alice winked to the actress before bursting into laughter.

"You are," Anne smiled before placing a small kiss on her girlfriend's cheek.

Shelby chuckled before resting her head on her lover's shoulder. "I'm on my own side, and that's love's side."

Audrey shook her head as she smiled softly, placing a kiss on top of her fiancé's head. "So, tell me about you guys! Is it easy to handle my sister?" She teased.

"You twat!" Alice chuckled.

Shelby couldn't help but laugh.

"Of course, it's easy. I love her." Anne smiled brightly.

"Aw." Audrey bit her lip softly. "That's so amazing, I'm so glad for you guys."

Shelby smiled. "Are you bringing Anne as your plus one to the wedding?" she asked as she looked to Alice.

"Of course!" Alice smiled brightly before looking at her lover. "I mean if you want to go with me, of course."

"I would be delighted!" Anne said. "Oh, that would be just lovely."

"Yay!" Shelby said.

Audrey giggled, nodding as she did so. "I can't wait to see you guys there. You can stay at our house!"

"It's a good thing we have a big house." Shelby teased. "But we might have to put some of them up in a hotel near the house or wherever we end up having the wedding." She explained.
