live with that date for the rest of my life.
    Today, before we e mbark on our second day of driving and I’m forced to drive back with Claire in her car as we did when we left Davidson, I decide to tell Will the new wedding date I’ve chosen at breakfast.
    “I have to talk to you,” I whisper in Will’s ear.
    “What’s up? Do we need to go outside,” Will answers, taking his napkin off his lap as he prepares to find a private place for us to talk.
    “There’s no need. I just wanted to tell you I set a new date for the wedding.” I smile at Will knowing he’ll be happy that I’m bringing this to him instead of him hounding me like he had to last time. Will spreads a face splitting grin and raises his brows in excited anticipation. “May 25 th .  That was my parents’ anniversary. Is that ok?”
    “That is more than ok, babe! I couldn’t be more honored than to share the wedding date of the two people who brought you into my life.” Will takes my face in his hands and gives me a hard kiss. “I love you so much!”
    “Whoa! This is not that kind of restaurant you two!” Wes says laughing at our extreme public display of affection.
    “Sorry! Couldn’t be helped! Layla just set a new date for the wedding!” Will says, still staring into my eyes with joy.
    “Oh, Layla! That’s wonderful!” Claire beams. “What did you decide?”
    “May 25 th ,” I tell them.
    “Your parents’ anniversary. I think that’s wonderfully fitting,” Luke says smiling.
    “And so romantic!” Eliana adds. “I’m so happy for you both. And now that things have changed, the entire mood of the day will be even more beautiful.” She leans into Wes in a move that tells just how much of a romantic she is. Wes smiles at her a nd I’m sure we’ll be celebrating their wedding someday, too.
    “We should call the Gardens soon. That time of year can be very busy,” Claire says. “Maybe we can chat about that and other wedding things today?” Claire’s excitement for my wedding is wonderfully overwhelming. I’m glad she’s so into it, though. After Will and I exchanged vows in the garden that day I really lost all concern for what my official wedding day looks like. I’ll need her by my side to make sure the day happens like it’s supposed to.
    “I’d rather talk about it with Will on the drive today,” I pout.
    “We’ve been over this, Layla,” Luke says. Will and Eliana aren’t leaving Savannah until later this afternoon so they can arrive in Davidson under the covering of night. We can’t risk anyone seeing them when they get into town. They’re both even wearing baseball hats, of which I’m certain Eliana hasn’t done since before Will was born, if ever.
    “I’m going to miss you, too, babe, but I’ll be there tonight. And since we’re staying there, the time between our goodnights and our good mornings will be shorter than ever.” Will kisses the top of my head putting me at ease.
    We leave Savannah 30 minutes later than planned because I can’t tear myself away from Will. It’s kind of silly, really. I mean, we’re going to see each other again before midnight. It’s not like I haven’t gone a whole day without seeing him. I think it’s just the anxiety of what the coming days and months are going to bring that has me fearful. Remembering the last time I said goodbye to Will isn’t helping either.
    In a matter of days there will be a press conference and Luke will bring Will and Eliana Meyer back from the dead. He’ll have to explain why it was a necessary last resort for saving their lives, with Will giving the majority of the details.
    I’m nervous for Will. He’s going to have to stand up in front of the press and those whom we deceived and explain why I was worth creating a charade so dramatic. I struggle with finding my own reasons why I was worthy of such a move. As much as I’ve grown over the last three years I still have to walk myself through all of my redemptive qualities, as
