"So Dave wants to have the ceremony on Friday here? In the library?" Betty said."Yeah," I said, "Said it was Clara's idea. The place they got together and all that."
"That's romantic. I never knew Dave had it in him. I guess you never can tell."
"Yeah, books and covers and all that. We're required to be there, too. Mom's calling it a 'staff development day' and closing us down."
"Why? I mean I would come anyway, but it seems odd..."
"Gets us around everyone in the community wanting to get married here on the cheap. Dave's supposed to be giving us a talk on internet safety as an IT expert."
Betty shook her head, "Your mama thinks of everything."
I smiled and looked out the windows, “Oh, no.”
Betty craned her head up to see what I was looking at. She slumped back down.
“This day was going so well,” she said.
