KELLY
Who knew a seating chart could be so tedious? Each time I think I have
it completed, I get an email or text about someone not wanting to be
near someone else. I’ve changed this thing fifty times now. I wish I could
trash it and tell people to sit wherever they freaking want.
“Hey.” I glance up to see Chloe and Sawyer entering the kitchen where I
have my seating chart spread out over the island.
Chloe is my soon-to-be sister-in-law, and Sawyer is her husband.
Sawyer is his normal stoic self. I notice he doesn’t have a scratch or bruise
on his face, so I guess my fiancé didn’t land any blows when the two of
them got in a fistfight a few days ago. Paul didn’t fare so well.
“Hi,” I respond.
I want to ask what happened the other night. I’m sure Paul gave me the
watered-down version of whatever the truth was, but I honestly didn’t want
to listen to him. He was ranting and raving like a lunatic over the phone to
me, and I zoned him out.
Whatever went down was most likely Paul’s fault. I can’t see Sawyer
smashing his face in without good cause. And I’m guessing it has
something to do with Chloe. That’s the one thing that gets Sawyer worked
up. The two of them have a fairytale kind of love.
“Is my mom around?” Chloe asks.
“She’s in Bruce’s office with Paul, I think.” The three of them
disappeared not long after we got to Paul’s parents’ house. We were
supposed to be having dinner and going over more wedding details.
“Do you need help?” Chloe offers.
“No.” She’s already done enough. Chloe put on a whole bridal shower
for me and is always so sweet.
In another world, maybe we could have been friends, but every second
I’m with her I feel guilty. All the lies are slowly eating me alive. It was easy
with others, but it’s harder with Paul’s family. Unlike my own family, his
are wonderful.
“Come on, kitten. You start dinner and I’ll be your sous chef,” I hear
Sawyer say to his wife, but I don’t look up from the seating chart in front of
me. The names start to blur together, but it’s a good distraction from the two
of them.
“All right, but no—” Chloe is cut off by shouting in the other room. I
know that voice all too well.
“Stay here,” Sawyer orders before hurrying out of the kitchen.
Chloe and I share a glance before we both rush after him.
“The two of you have set me up!” Paul screams.
When we make it to the office door, I can tell any of Paul’s plans for a
reconciliation have gone to shit. His face is flushed, his eyes are wild, and
he’s sweating through his dress shirt. He’s truly lost it now. After getting
kicked off the board of his father’s company and the fight at the restaurant,
things are bad. Really bad.
“I’m sorry, I was trying to keep this private,” Bruce says and glances
toward Chloe and me standing in the open doorway.
“What’s all the shouting?” Katherine, Paul’s stepmom, comes to stand
near us.
