long.
    I’m so spoiled.
    “It’s disgusting, but it’s all they have,” she mumbles. “Have you forgotten your dad’s java?”
    “Actually, I did have a momentary lapse,” I chuckle out.
    A guy walks in with a bag and a carrying tray that hosts two cups as he heads over to the table
    we’re at. I smile as he places two coffees in front of us, and then puts the bagel bag beside them.
    “Mrs. Cole, these are for you. Mr. Cole said you would need them,” he says with a chipper tone.
    I laugh a little, and he turns to walk away. Clara grabs the coffee with needy hands, and she
    moans in ecstasy as she sips it.
    “Oh I love Devin right now,” she moans.
    “So do I,” I snicker out. “I’ll be right back.”
    I pull out the phone while she sifts through the bagel options, and I grin when Devin answers.
    “Well?” he smugly remarks.
    “You’re very clever. I am impressed.”
    “The coffee impresses you more than the expensive car. Unbelievable. You still won’t see me
    yet?” he pouts,
    “Nope. I’ll see you tomorrow evening,” I play.
    “Fine. This isn’t the last you’ll hear from me,” he promises.
    “I’m starting to see a pattern here, Mr. Cole.”
    “You’ll see more,” he smolders. “I love you.”
    “I love you. Now let me get our wedding ready,” I say with a mock scolding tone.
    I laugh a little more as I put the phone away, and Clara continues to fall in love with the coffee in
    her hands.
    “This is the best stuff ever. It’s like they brewed it especially for us,” she gushes.
    “Devin is good. Now let’s find a new cake before the baker shows up,” I instruct, and she slides
    the design options over to me while she continues indulging in her hot cup of heaven.

    “I’m very sorry for the inconvenience, and I’ll be sure to have this ready by tomorrow,” the
    baker cordially offers at the end of our meeting.
    “Thank you,” I mumble as I lay my head on the table.
    Clara pats my back, and then her newly rejuvenated voice chimes in with her usual perky tone.
    “Let’s hit the stores to get you some honeymoon attire. Where are you going?”
    “Greece,” I say with a smile.
    “You’ve always wanted to go there,” she gushes.
    “I know. I told you he’s amazing,” I say with a bit of sadness.
    Now the aching I’ve been feeling is growing. It’s pathetic that I can barely go a few hours
    without him.
    She stands and loops her arm through mine as we head out of the inn. Dad must be busy tending
    to business because he’s nowhere to be seen.
    “It’s so beautiful today. Let’s just walk,” Clara says as we round the corner that leads us outside.
    “Sounds good. It’s not like town is too terribly far away,” I chuckle out as I motion to the
    sidewalk that is just a few hundred feet from the first set of stores.
    As soon as we fully make our way into the congested part of the city, a man jogs over to us.
    “Mrs. Cole?”
    I smirk a little. “Yes.”
    “Mr. Cole asked me to bring you this, and he said to wait until you left the inn.”
    My favorite stalker is now asking others to stalk me.
    I laugh a little as I take the gift wrapped box, and I pull open the paper to reveal a velvet case. I
    shake my head as I lift the cover to find a dazzling diamond necklace and matching earrings.
    “Oh my sparkling diamonds. He’s not holding back,” Clara gasps as she strokes the gems with a
    delicate touch.
    I hand her the box while pulling out my phone to repeat the same conversation I keep having with
    my eager groom.
    “Please tell me that did the trick,” he pleads.
    “Since when am I a jewelry fanatic?” I chuckle.
    “It was worth a shot,” he huffs. “What are you doing?”
    “I’m about to shop for stuff for our honeymoon,” I seduce.
    “Oh yeah? I’m a great shopping partner,” he prompts.
    “I already have a shopping partner. I’ll see you tomorrow,” I giggle out.
    “Fine. Love you,” he exhales in disappointment.
    “I love you,” I
