Crawling back into bed, Ian scanned the messages and the first few were “thank you’s” and “love you for being there for me’s.” Then there was the “why aren’t you texting back” ones and a couple that disturbed him. One from her said her honeymoon night was spent in an airport waiting for a flight to take off and another about how she had never seen Stephen so angry before. Ian texted back that his after wedding had been better than hers. He had just hit send when the phone buzzed and vibrated in his hand. Jessie was calling.
“Why are you calling on your honeymoon?” demanded Ian.
“How much better than mine was your night?” Jessie giggled.
“Well, I got laid, I think,” Ian said.
“You think? How good was it if you can’t remember?”
“Events are a little fuzzy but the results lying next to me are quite stellar.”
“When we left, you were organizing the conga line with Andrew—the best man—do you remember that?”
