146 Party Night! (Winona)

As the days passed, Abby got stronger and the plans came together beautifully. The garden is transformed into a magical wonderland with twinkling lights and colorful decorations.

We arranged for a caterer, a drinks service, a live band, and a photographer to capture every precious.

moment.

There's also children's activities and child carers on hand for later.

There's a real energy picking up and I don't think anyone has not been able to come.

As Jayden and I head into the kitchen to check on last minute things, he brings up another topic that's clearly been on both of our minds. "You know, with Mother and Gus planning to leave soon, things might finally be normal for us." I nod. "I hope so. I'm not sure we even know how to do normal. Maybe with Judy gone, we can find some peace and stability."

Jayden's expression turns serious. "I've been thinking a lot about what Mother almost did to you. What she ultimately did to me. Even though I know now she tried to call it off. It's hard to just move past it, even if she's been helpful recently."

"I know," I say softly. "But the distance will take the pressure off you. I don't think you need to feel like you have to get over it anytime soon. I sure don't expect that, and Judy has no right to expect anything." Jayden sighs. "It's going to take time for me to trust her again."

"I'm not sure I'll ever trust her. Not really. But maybe we'll just have to eat an elephant," I suggest, hoping to ease his mind.

He nods. "One bite at a time."

"And in the meantime, we'll focus on Abby and our future. This party is a good start."

He nods, his smile returning. "You're right. Let's make it a night to remember."

"Then I guess we'll have a date to set and a wedding to plan."

Jayden takes me in his arms and his lips are on mine. I let it happen. I want his touch, his kisses. I want to be with him in every way. I hope we can get back to that carefree place very soon. Maybe tonight is the night and we can make it extra special.

And as I relax in Jayden's arms for a few more seconds, I'm satisfied that the future for us will be very normal and boring.
