The Wedding

It was like any other day in BlueBell. The birds were chirping, the sun beaming down and the ladies of BlueBell gossiping by the bench. What was usually a normal day turned into a tornado. Zoe Hart was back in town and things were going to get interesting again. Rumors were she was getting married. The groom you ask, well I tell you later on. Life definitely wasn't going to be dull around her for the next few weeks.

….AB/Lavon:

"Is it true Lavon? Is Zoe Hart getting married here in BlueBell?"

"You know that I can't confirm or deny that. I was sworn to secrecy."

"Lavon Hayes, I'm not just anyone. I'm your girlfriend. Spill."

"I'm sorry AB. I promised Zoe that I wouldn't say anything if it was true."

"Seriously, the one time you actually keep your promise. I'm so disappointed in you Lavon."

"I've got to go AB. I'm picking up Zoe from the airport."

"You do that Lavon. Don't expect anything to happen when you get back."

Lavon tries to give AB a kiss, but she turns her head the other way. He sighs and gets in his car to pick up his best friend.

…

George/Lemon:

"So is it true? Is Zoe Hart coming back and getting married?"

"Lemon sweetie, I'm not sure. You know how rumors start. We don't' even know if she is coming back into town."

"But George, I heard the ladies talking about it and AB said that Lavon was going to be picking up Zoe from the airport in mobile."

"She might be coming to visit. It doesn't mean she is going to get married."

"Yeah I guess. I'm not sure why she would be coming back after what happened. She literally left this town to go back to NY."

"Let's not worry about why she is coming back. It's none of our business."

"I can't let this go George. She doesn't get the right to come back into this town all happy when she hurt someone we care about."

"Lemon, let it go. It's not our business."

"George Tucker. He's your friend as well as mine. I'm not going to let him get hurt again."

George just stuck his head in his hands and shook his head. This was going to be a long summer. He hoped things went off without a hitch, but with Lemon, it was nearly impossible.

Lavon/Zoe:

"Lavon, it's so good to see you. It's been too long."

"Big Z, you're looking well."

"Thanks Lavon. I've never felt as happy as I do to see a familiar face."

"Big Z, I hate to burst your bubble but you're going to have to deal with the other issue. I'm sure rumors have circulated around town and it's only fair if you tell him yourself."

"I know. I was hoping to put it off for a bit. I just want to get settled in before the firestorm hits."

"Just so you know, AB is already on the case. She asked me about the rumor and I told her that I was sworn to keep your secret."

"Thanks Lavon, but you and I both know that she isn't going to give up. I'm sure she isn't the only one that I have to worry about."

"I don't know how much longer you can hide it. The proof is in the pudding."

Zoe sighs and tries to figure out how she is going to tell him without hurting him more than she already had.

Wade:

I've been hearing the rumors all week long about how Zoe is coming back into town and getting married. I shouldn't care what she does anymore, but I can't help myself. I think about the good times we had and how much she made me happy. I'm not sure what changed between us, but I'm not ready to hear the truth from her. She didn't even give me a chance to explain myself before she took off to NY. Zoe once again was running and there was no going back.

….

Lavon/Zoe:

"Thanks Lavon for the ride. I'm going to set things up in the carriage house."

"Remember what I said Big Z."

"I promise Lavon that I will have that talk with him."

"Okay! Welcome back."

Lavon hugs Zoe before walking back to the main house to deal with his girlfriend.

….

Zoe:

She is busy organizing her room when her phone rings. By the sound of the ringtone, she already knows who is calling. She answers the phone call and breathlessly says "Hi baby. It's so nice to hear from you. I was thinking about you. I can't wait to see you again soon." The other person on the other line replies "I can't wait to see you too. I know that you just left, but it feels like forever since you left me." Zoe replies "It won't be too long baby. The little blip and I can't wait to see you *Joel Stevens."

*Surprise, he's back!
