Dominic heard the last few words after he put Beverly in the car.
Realizing he hadn’t heard the beginning, I made up an excuse. “A friend of mine is leaving soon.”
Dominic nodded, asking no further questions.
Countdown, day four. Dominic brought home his and Beverly’s wedding photos.
He video-chatted with Beverly on his phone while showing her the framed pictures, his eyes full of tenderness.
“Beverly, our wedding photos are ready. The staff said they came out great.”
I happened to be getting water when he said that.
A flicker of embarrassment crossed Dominic’s face.
He seemed about to say something. I glanced at the photo and commented, “They really are nice.”
I’d paid a high price for this photographer, hoping to capture the most loving moments between Dominic and me.
