Some brief explanation. I know I am in the middle of another story, but this bunny would not be denied. Slightly more angsty than my usual fare, but I hope the bunny can be steered in the right direction.
Disclaimer: I only own my annoyance at the writers lately.
INVITATION – CHAPTER 2
It was the last of the reply cards to come back. She knew from her counts and lists who it would be. It was the one that made her most nervous. She was glad she had gotten to the mail before him. Grace knew this would be hard to open. Was he bringing a date? She shouldn't care. She should be glad, right?
His name in his distinctive writing stared up at her. Will not attend. He wasn't coming. The rest of the unit, even Jane was coming. She had figured out the table already. Will not attend. He wasn't the only person to decline. A few family members wouldn't make it. One or two people from his job had other commitments. It was to be expected that not everyone would come. Will not attend. She sat back on the sofa, holding the card in her hand. She almost imagined she could smell his scent on the card.
She closed her eyes, picturing the upcoming day. It was one of the things she did to calm her nerves when the stress of her job and planning a wedding got to be too much. She pictured herself in the gown and veil that she loved. She was gliding up the aisle. She could see Lisbon, Cho, Jane and her family. When she got to the front, a tall man turned and lifted the veil. She smiled as she looked up into his large blue eyes. It was Wayne.
Her eyes shot open. Damn. She really wished that would stop happening.
She looked at the card again. Will not attend. That's it then. She would check the no column next to his name and that was it. She would not think about him and her wedding again together.
Yes, I know these are very short, but I have written quite a few of them. Please review? This is hard enough to write, but the idea that no one is out there would really send me and the bunnies into major depression land…..Pouting.
