Dev and the realtor were making one last walk through. Besides, Lily had forgotten to hand over her set of keys for the new owners. She seemed to be forgetting a lot of little things lately. Jack called it “baby brain” and claimed that his wife had the same ailment when she was pregnant with both boys. He is such a nice man.Anytime Lily needed Jack to go to the doctor’s office, he was there. He was probably the greatest living father-in-law on the face of the earth. Anytime she needed her latest food fetish, he was in the car and down to Ben’s, her favorite ice cream drive-thru. Currently, her favorite flavor was peanut butter ribbonfudge with a hint of potato chips. She added the chips as a crunchy accent.“Do you want the priestly answer, or the real one?”“Humor me, give me both.”Dan laughed. As the passenger, Dan was enjoying the scenery of historic Alexandria. Lily had really caught onto the frantic driving skills needed to survive the beltway. “As the pastor of my church, there does come those times when I feel that a volunteer has done so much for the church that they deserve a break, perhaps an opportunity to turn in some other direction to serve the Lord.”“That sounded really good. Now, spill. What’s the real reason?”“She was a pain in my backside,” Dan admitted. “She actually told one couple that I didn’t know what I was doing. Last week, she allowed a photographer to sit on the edge of the altar to get a photo. What’s worse is it was during the blasted ceremony!”Lily giggled. The priest was really worked up by this woman. Lily had met her once when Dev and she had arrived to pick Dan up after a wedding. She wasn’t exactly the friendliest coordinator ever, but Lily was used to tolerating Gretchen.Ah, Gretchen! I need to call her, then I can listen for forty minutes to every juicy piece of gossip in Kansas City. She’ll make me forget all the gas I’ve been having. It’s probably the celery’s fault.
