weekend?”
“Memorize?”
“Yes,” Aunt Wendy clarified, “Commit to memory.”
Katie laughed, thinking her aunt was joking, but Wendy didn't join in. Katie cut off the laughter quickly.
“Uh, no, not really,” she stammered, “I mean, I just...I glanced at it earlier...but I will.”
Aunt Wendy was really taking this whole Wedding Planner thing seriously!
“Well no time like the present, Buttercup,” Aunt Wendy said briskly, “I need you to be up to speed. As the M.O.H. you'll be hosting several of the events.”
“Okay, I’ll take a look at it now,” Katie agreed. She was grateful, actually, to escape the odd conversation. Why was Jason still working for his father? Why was he doing odd jobs for her mother and aunt? She needed a distraction to keep these questions, and more, from swirling through her brain and taking up all of the available real estate!
As Aunt Wendy and Sophie went over last minute wedding details, Katie opened the folder and started to peruse it. She could not believe how well-organized it was. She was impressed! Maybe Aunt Wendy had found her calling after all.

Katie mentally checked off each item against her one criteria – did her path cross with Jason?
Check, check, check, check, check. Nope.
So Thursday didn’t seem like it would be so bad. She wouldn’t have to spend any more time with Jason and she would be kept pretty busy. Hopefully those two factors combined would also keep any thoughts of Nick from rearing their ugly heads.
Okay. Next page.
FRIDAY:
Friday: 1:00 – Check-in at Whisper Lake Hilton
Hmmmm. A hotel. RED FLAG. Hotels were universally known as places to AVOID if you were attempting to not have sexy-times with someone.
And also...Whisper Lake.
“Um, I have a quick question. Who is checking into the Whisper Lake Hilton?” Katie asked, trying to sound as blasé as possible.
“Oh!” Squealed Sophie, “I can’t believe I forgot to tell you, we are getting married up at Whisper Lake, just like Grandpa J and Grandma Marie did! Isn’t that just the most romantic thing ever?” Sophie swooned, clasping her hands in front of her heart.
Oh, God. Romantic. Yep. Exactly the word she'd been thinking of.
“SO romantic...” Katie agreed, smiling around the knot she felt forming in her throat.
She couldn’t count how many nights she and Nick spent planning their wedding up at Whisper Lake. She had spent every summer there since she was in 4th grade. Sometimes with her mom and Aunt Wendy, a couple summers with the Hunters, and sometimes with the Sloan Boys and their cousins the Quad Squad.
Of course, she told herself, it makes sense that Sophie and Bobby would be getting married up there. They had spent summers together there, too. This is not about you and Nick, she reminded herself, for the thousandth time that day. NOTHING ABOUT THIS WEEKEND IS ABOUT YOU AND NICK...or Jason.
She took a deep breath.
Okay. So, yeah. Whisper Lake. She could handle that. It was just one weekend.
Alright, moving on. Time to continue checking items off against her mental checklist, which only held one item – would she have to interact with Jason at the event?
