Chapter 32

Panic sets in. His hands begin to shake and his heart thumps and races. Nothing feels manageable as more snow falls from the all-white sky. All he can think of is a mismanaged list of things to accomplish today: obtain the tuxes and dress for the day, get to Cutter Church on time, reach out to and make sure the harpist (Hildegard Banter) gets to the church, be sure that his family arrives at The Golden Mongoose for the reception, confirm that Pastor Blaine Hardwick will be at the church, do the ceremony, confirm with Cookie Coke that The Melodramatic Sisters of West End will attend the reception, check with Pam that she will set up the cookie tables, and prepare the caterers at the Mongoose that they should be on task because he will not have enough time to babysit them today because he is one of the stars of the show.
