so casual?
“I just got your text message,” he said tersely.
“Will you be coming to the wedding? I know it’s short notice, but it would mean a lot to me to have you there.”
“Jackie, you can’t marry this guy.”
“Why does everyone keep saying that to me?”
“Who else said it to you?”
“Boone, for one.” Boone was Jackie’s half brother. “He was a bit of a jerk about it, too,” Jackie continued. “At least I know you’re not going to be a jerk. You’re never a jerk about anything.”
“Well, I’m with Boone on this one. You can’t marry this guy.”
“I can and I will. I’m in love, Jeb. For the first time in my life. Truly, madly, deeply, forever and ever in love.”
“Okay, who are you and what have you done with Jackie Birchard?”
“I’ve changed, Jeb.”
“I’ve changed, too, Jackie. I’ve changed so much and I miss you. You can’t marry this Scott guy because I’m the man for you and I can show you if you just give me a chance.”
“Jeb.” She laughed. “You don’t love me.”

“But I do, Jackie, I really do.”
“You think you love me because I’m the only woman who has ever turned you down. The only woman who’s ever challenged you and called you on your crazy lifestyle.”
Not the only woman. Immediately, Jeb thought of Haley.
“How long have you known this guy?” he demanded.
“Only a month, but the time doesn’t matter. Not when it’s the real deal.”
“Listen to yourself. Do you really hear what you’re saying? You’re marrying a guy you’ve only know for four short weeks.”
“It’s all the time I need.”
“Jackie, you’ve got to believe me—”
“Are you coming to the wedding?”
