I didn’t know what Grant had been
thinking. After our honeymoon, we
returned to Austin.
School started in early September. Jake stood at the entrance, and I was tying a tie for me. He looked at me deeply.
“Why so formal? Casual is fine.” I couldn’t understand him.
He disagreed, pointing to his cheek. I kissed his cheek. He smiled, pleased.
“How else am I supposed to show off
my amazing wife?”
I wanted to say something but let it go, pushing him to the door. “Go! Don’t
be late.”

He raised it.“They invited us. Let’s go.”
He wanted to know what Grant meant.

I never thought I would go to Dallas
with Jake. Many guests knew that I used
to be with Grant, and they whispered
while seeing me and Jake.
“Amazing. I thought Rosie would be
Grant’s wife.”
