The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Chapter 81

Up in flames As her hair was getting done, and her face touched up with makeup, Peach kept telling herself to breathe, and knowing that Elijah was waiting on her at the altar made her less afraid.

“Mama, what time is it?’” Peach asked, her eyes closed as the lady brushed a soft peachy color eyeshadow on her eyelids.

“Two o’clock,” Miss Grace said with a smile, and yet, tears stained her face, feeling, overwhelmed by her daughter becoming a bride before her eyes, and every stage of Peach growing up from an infant to a woman kept playing in her head. 1 “The wedding starts at three… do you think we will be late?”

“No, honey. The drive to the ceremony is not that long.”

Pulling her hand away from Peach’s face, the makeup artist smiled and said, “Well, the bride is ready to get dressed.”

Slowly, Peach opened her eyes to see her reflection staring back, and her lips pulled upward into a soft smile.

“You look beautiful, honey.” Miss Grace whispered as Peach stood from the chair. “Thanks… can you please help me put on my gown, mama?” Peach uttered, looking at the garment bag on her bed.

Nodding, Miss Grace smiled and then walked over to the bed, unzipping the bag, pulling out this full-length gown with a sultry, unlined illusion lace bodice with beaded lace and a deep sweetheart neckline with delicately beaded spaghetti straps.

After helping Peach get into the dress, she stood behind her daughter, rested her chin on her shoulder, and whispered, consumed with emotions, “You are now a bride… God, I want Albert here with us so bad… to see what we made from love finally find love.”

“I miss him too, mama. But this is papa… this entire motel… Every inch of it has a memory of him, even the zinc and the ceilings…” Peach said with a chuckle.

“I know… he used to make me worry so much about him when he turned into a carpenter.”

“Yeah? Back then, I thought he was a superman whenever he was up there with his tools… But I understand… After Elijah got beat up in front of me, I think I know what your worry was.”

A knock on the door made Miss Grace and Peach turn around simultaneously, listening to Matt and Ryan say almost in unison, “Two very handsome bridesmaids are reporting for duty.”

“Your bridesmen are here,” Miss Grace chuckled, feeling relieved that Elijah had a group of supportive friends that adored her daughter.
