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.”

Jake saw it.“Whose invitation?”
I shrugged, trying to get it from him.”
Ignore it. It’s pointless.”
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.”
