that way. I like feeling useful!”
“Who’s playing your love interest?”
“Anthony Murrah. He’s supposed to arrive this evening. I’ll meet him in the morning.”
John shook his head. “I’ve never heard of him.”
“I haven’t either. They were going to screen test us together, but something happened. I’ll let you know what I think of him.” She thought a moment. “I have Tuesday afternoon free. My last scene will be finished before lunch. Could we go for our license then?”
“Yeah, I can make that work. I need to pick Nicki up from my mom’s before six, so she can go bowl. She’s in a Tuesday night league.”
Amber had always liked his mother, but at that moment, she couldn’t help wondering what her own mother would think of participating in a bowling league. She had to stifle a giggle as she thought about it. Her mother was always dressed perfectly and never did anything she considered common.
“I didn’t get my dessert cookies!” Nicki called as she came running. “You didn’t eat them, did you, Daddy?”
Amber started to move away from him, but he caught her arm, shaking his head slightly. “I didn’t eat your cookies, princess. I wouldn’t do that to you!”
Nicki looked into the picnic basket and pulled out the cellophane-wrapped package of cookies, baked in the grocery bakery. “Chocolate chip are my favorite. What’s your favorite, Amber?”
Amber pretended to think about it for a long time. “I think I like chocolate chip best too!”
“Yay! We’re cookie twins.” Nicki plopped down on the quilt beside Amber. “Were you and Daddy kissing?”
Amber choked for a moment, before nodding. “We were. But I told him to stop kissing me, because that’s disgusting.”
Nicki giggled. “It’s not disgusting! Married people are supposed to kiss, so you’d better start practicing.” She watched Amber intently.
“What?” Amber asked, feeling a bit unnerved.
“You’re supposed to practice kissing with Daddy, so you know you’re doing it right when you get married.”
Amber laughed, shaking her head. “I think we practiced enough when we were younger that we got it absolutely perfect.”
“You mean you kissed when you went to prob together?”
Amber briefly considered correcting Nicki’s mispronunciation of the word prom, but thought better of it. It was so cute the way she said it that Amber didn’t want to change it. “Yeah, we kissed at prom. And before that!”
“You did? Did your daddy know you were kissing him?”
Amber laughed at the question. “You know, he caught us kissing once, and he was not happy with me!”
“Why not?”
“My parents didn’t like your daddy very much,” Amber admitted. “They’re not going to be very happy when we get married, but they don’t need to be, because they won’t be married to us.”
“No, they won’t. Did Daddy like your parents?”
Amber grinned at the question. “You’ll have to ask him that.”
John thought for a moment. “I didn’t like them very much at the time, but now that I have a little girl, I can understand how they felt. I wouldn’t want some boy that I didn’t think was good enough to come along and kiss you. It would make me very angry.”
“So do you like them now?” Nicki persisted.
“I haven’t seen them in a long time.” If her parents had been normal, he’d have seen them in the grocery store or around town on occasion. They were wealthy enough that the maids did the shopping for them, though, so they were more isolated from town than most.
“You’ll get to meet them at the wedding, Nicki,” Amber said. She couldn’t not invite her parents if his parents were coming. If he’d said he wasn’t going to invite his parents, that would have given her a perfect excuse.
“Will they hate me?”
The question made Amber sad. “No, they won’t hate you. They’ll be very kind to you.” She’d call them and make sure they’d be kind. It would be part of the wedding
