Review if you must stay away if you can.
"Okay so it's Lemony & Beatrice." Kit laid out the invitations. "If you want it to be." Lemony sat down next to Kit surveying the secret invites. "Where is the meeting?" "Call Monty he knows." Jacque mummer walking up the stairs. "LEMONY!LEMONY!" Kit scratched through Beatrice on accident. "Lem get the door it's obviously for you." Lemony who had just sat down rose and went to open the door.
"Lemony LOOOOK!" First thing Lemony saw under the rim of his hat was a shinning diamond. By the way quiet impressive.
"I'm getting married" Beatrice laughed, she was wearing a flashy green and black dress and a captain's hat. I would be lying if I hadn't been shocked in fact shocked was an understatement I was floored.
Beatrice bend down to see if Lemony was okay. "Kit! Jacque!" Kit crumbled up her card and made her way to the front. "Lemony!" She went to her knees in a flurry of dark brown skirts. "Jacque get some water! Beatrice help me get him to the couch." The women painstakingly moved Lemony out of the front door and onto the sofa. Jacque brought a tall glass of cool water and Kit fanned Lemony till he finally came to.
"Lem! Are you okay? It isn't healthy for a grown man to faint you know." Beatrice informed him taking hold of his hand with both of hers, Lemony looked past Beatrice for a while taking the glass from Jacque. I had never focused so hard on drinking water in my life but it was all I could do to try and tune out Beatrice.
"Really? Oh you two are such a lovely couple really I am pleased." Kit responded to Beatrice.
"Are you coming?"
"Of course!"
Can you relay my invites to Josephine and Ike when they get back?"
"I will I have to go get them on the morrow." Jacque butted in, "What about Monty?" Kit questioned, "Oh I was on my way to his home right now." "Lemony do you feel all right?" Kit gave him a inquisitive glance, Lemony sat up shaking Beatrice's hands gently off his. "Lemony can help with the early-" Beatrice began but Lemony cut her short, "I can't go" He wiggled off the couch.
Beatrice's face fell a panic attack hit her, "WHAT? Why not?" "Because I will be on a mission," "WHAT MISSION?" Beatrice put her hands to her chest, her heart was thumping so hard she could hear it. "A secret mission." Lemony pushed past them starting up the stairs. "I believe I'll be gone all month." "But you can't be! My wedding is this month! You have to come you're my best friend!" "I'm sorry but duty calls." Beatrice chased Lemony up the stairs her boots slamming against the wooden floor as she collided with a locked door.
"LEMONY! What's the matter? Are you sick are you angry at me? You would never do this to me! Lemony!" Beatrice jiggled his locked door in earnest. Okay so maybe right then and there I didn't have a mission but by noon the next day I was going to a frozen tundra for two months. She banged some more before glancing at her watch the eye minute hand said she had time. Beatrice coughed, "LEMONY I'M STAYING OUT HERE TILL YOU COME OUT!" Lemony was sitting on his bed staring at his typewriter and his theater letter about an Al guy. Horrible play writer by the way.
Beatrice fanned out her skirts and sat down for six hours in front of his door. She was worried sick barely eating any of the food Kit brought her as she waited. Jacque now and then would bring her a book to read but she only got half way through before she would set it down and begin to tap on his door. She wished with all her heart that he would open the door and tell her what was wrong. She wished so hard he would that she fell asleep and dreamed he did open his door and tell her what was the matter.
Much to her dismay when she awoke it was because her mom had come to get her and he still hadn't come out of his room though it might have helped her to know he was outside sitting in a tree and that he had walked around the block before coming back.
Terribly sorry Beatrice
