“Good God,” Levi said as he walked up to Dana. “I hope Harlan survives the birth.”
Dana giggled. “He does seem a bit rattled. Are Travis and Tobi going to the reception?”
“Eventually. They’re going to the hospital first. I said we’d tell everyone they’re going to be late but they’ll be there.”
“I didn’t realize Savannah was due so soon. I thought I heard at the shower that she wasn’t due for another month.”
“She wasn’t. The baby is a month early.”
“Oh. That’s not good, is it?” From what she’d heard, which admittedly wasn’t a lot, premature babies could have problems.
“Tobi says she’s far enough along that the baby will probably be fine.”
“Probably?”
“Or words to that effect,” Levi said. “Tobi’s a doctor, remember? They never say something like that is a sure thing.”
“Oh, right. I wasn’t thinking about that.”
When they reached the car Levi stopped and slipped his arms around her waist. “You look beautiful today,” he said. “I don’t think I told you that earlier.”
“You did but I don’t mind you repeating it.” Dana wore a pale pink V-necked dress with a full skirt that hit above her knees. She’d tried on nearly everything in her closet before deciding on it. It wasn’t really a fall dress but then the temperature today was more reminiscent of summer than fall. And though she knew people did all the time, she hadn’t wanted to wear black to a wedding.
Levi kissed her and let her go, opening the car door for her. “Too bad we have to go straight to the restaurant,” he said.
“Why?”
“Because all I’ve been thinking about—well, before the wedding started and Savannah went into labor, anyway—was getting you out of that pretty pink dress you’re wearing.”
“That can probably be arranged later.”
“Probably? How about definitely?”
Dana smiled. “Definitely.”
“You sure you’re okay?” Levi asked her.
“Of course. Why do you ask?”
“Why were you crying during the ceremony?”
Oh, yeah, she’d forgotten about that. “Because that’s what I do.”
He shifted, glanced at her then back to the road. “I don’t understand.”
She heaved a sigh. “I cry at weddings. I can’t help it. The bride and groom always look so happy and you can just feel the love in the air. No matter what the bride wears she’s beautiful. Although Tobi really is gorgeous today.” She sighed. “And now there’s going to be a new baby in their family.”
“Are you gonna cry at that too?”
“I might.” She sniffed and stuck her nose in the air. “Probably.”
“I had no idea you were so sentimental.”
“We’ve never been to a wedding together before.”
“What else do you cry at?”
“What’s this fascination you have with me crying?”
