Claire Made a Decision That Surprised Everyone

Her mother expected her to stop Hannah’s wedding.

Marcus expected her to demand the venue back.

Even Hannah offered.

“If you want us to cancel, we will.”

Claire looked through the ballroom doors.

Guests were already seated.

Luke’s father was in the front row.

He looked thin and tired, but happy.

Claire took a long breath.

“No.”

Hannah stared at her.

“What?”

“Get married.”

“Claire—”

“This isn’t your fault.”

Then Claire looked at her mother.

“But we’ll deal with the rest later.”

And she turned to Marcus.

“As for us, there isn’t going to be another wedding date.”

Marcus froze.

“Claire.”

“You weren’t unsure enough to tell me.”

She handed him her engagement ring.

“But you were unsure enough to help someone else cancel my wedding.”
