"Oh hey, Mel. She's right here; lemme put the phone on speaker."
"Hey sis. What's up?"
"I was just wondering if you two were going to be here soon." I glanced at my watch: 10:46.
"Yeah, we have to go to Medical and finish up some things at the office then we'll be heading there."
"Medical? What happened?"
"Mandy cut her hand, and I broke a rib," Keith said.
"Oh my god! But you're both all right?"
"We're fine. We'll just be the Bandaged Bride and Groom," I said and Keith laughed. I turned onto to Columbia.
"Not funny you two. So, you're done chasing bad guys then right? Sounds like you've had enough adventure for one day."
"Ya, we just have to tie up a few loose ends and then we'll be heading here like Mandy said."
"Guess I don't need to be entertaining people till you get here then. I took out my slides just in case."
"That was sweet of you, sis. Thanks."
"No problem. Oh hey, that's not supposed to go there." She paused. "Mandy, I gotta go. Bye."
The line went dead and Keith and I laughed.
"Guess everything is under control," I said.
"Sounds like it. We just have to get there and get dressed."
"Do you think it's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding?" I asked.
"Nope, you?"
"Maybe in the wedding dress." I turned left on Connecticut Ave.
"Well, Mandy, there's no way seeing you can bring bad luck." I blushed as he rested his hand on my knee and smiled at me.
I turned right and then pulled into the CTC parking lot, and parked the SUV.
"You can debrief while I get checked out if you want," Keith said.
"Nah, I want to make sure you're okay. I won't be able to think straight until then."
"Okay." He opened the door.
I slipped on my jacket then walked around the SUV. I hugged Keith.
He took my face in his hands and kissed me tenderly. "I'm fine, promise," he whispered. I smiled softly. "Have I told you today that I love you?"
I nodded. "A few times."
"Well that's not nearly enough. I love you."
"I love you too."
I put my arm around him and we went to Medical where James was waiting with Kim.
