My Sister’s Advice

Jack's POV

Coming home to Magnolia without Charlotte felt different, and I missed her terribly, but as I thought about our upcoming wedding, all my worries and uncertainties vanished.

"You didn't need to come and pick us up, son. Whatever happens, we are going to attend your wedding, " my mom said with a smile. I knew she missed me and felt happy that I had come.

"This is my home too, and I guess I am still welcome here," I responded, trying to look hurt.

"Come on, you are always welcome, son, and you know that," my mom replied, welcoming me with a hug and kisses on my cheeks.

"I wished to settle here after we established our businesses," I said, and she raised her eyebrows as if I was talking nonsense.

"Oh, I love that idea, but I don't think your bride would like that, Jack," Mom responded with concern.

My mother added, "Did you talk with Charlotte about your plan to build a house here in Magnolia after your wedding day?"
