Chapter 10
Jilly reminded him, “You have to be at the church by one on Saturday. Don’t forget.”
“Basin Methodist, right?”
“Yes. Along the Monongahela River. The address is on a card with your invitation. If you lost it, Google that name.”
“I have it,” Jesse said.
Jilly asked, “Are you bringing Carr as your date since he’s in town?”
That would be nice, Jesse thought. But it wasn’t possible.
He somberly told Jilly, “He’ll be in Texas by next weekend. Nothing holds him down.”
“Well, if plans change, he’s always welcome. You know that. He’s like a second brother to me.”
Jesse cleared his throat and became quiet. His mind started to turn in circles, filling with thoughts of Jilly’s wedding with her beloved, the one and only Mr. Tanner Raymond Westinghouse, Carr’s return to Plimpton, his short stay, and…Carr slipping into bed with him last night.
Jilly asked, “Earth to Jesse. You there?”
“I’m here.”
