"Well, good. Then Julia can go to the fundraisers with Derek, and us more
'humble' people can just relax." Grinning, Kristin commented, "I'm still
not entirely sure how it happened, but I'm glad she's back and I can get the
chance to know her. And I don't think I've ever seen Derek this relaxed and
happy. This is going to be an absolutely perfect wedding!"
Alex drove toward the house and laughed "Derek is nothing if not a quick
learner. Who do you think he used to get to get *us* to go to those
things?"
She stopped at the gate and waited to be cleared before driving up to the
covered drive and parking "Now it's get pretty time."
