Andrea,” she said. “If you waited to get married then you wouldn’t need to rush around trying to plan the wedding, making sure everything gets done. You would be able just to take your time with the whole process.”
    Jessica and Justin looked at each other for a moment. Their eyes not once leaving one another, and Abby could see in that instant just how much her little sister adored this man. She hadn’t seen her look at anyone else that way before.
    “We know that we don’t have to rush into marriage, but we also don’t want to be one of those couples who is planning a wedding forever,” Justin said. He peeled his dark hazel eyes away from his fiancée.
    “He’s my soul mate, and when you find someone like that, there’s no point to drag it out any longer than necessary. Besides, we don’t want to be away from each other,” Jessica said, entwining her hand with Justin’s.
    Justin’s father positioned himself in his chair so he was sitting straighter.
    “What do you mean by ‘torn apart’?” His father asked the all-important question that everyone one was wondering about. They were all eager to know the answer.
    “I would have preferred to tell you my news in private,” Justin replied, “but I guess I’m going to have to say it now. I’ve decided to stay in Sydney.”
    “You mean you’re staying a little longer on your vacation? Well, that is understandable. You will both want to have a mini-honeymoon.” His mother tried to keep a calm reaction to her son’s news.
    Justin shook his head. “No, I mean I will be living in Australia—with my wife.”
    “You’re what? Son, I know that you love this girl and when you want something, you strive for it, but you’re making a terrible mistake.”
    Abby could see how troubled Justin’s father was about his son’s news. Frown lines were showing on his forehead as he rose to a standing position. She didn’t like the idea of Jessica getting married any more than they did. Abby looked over at Steven who shrugged his shoulder without saying a word as though this was the first he heard about it.
    Justin raised his hands in the air in an attempt to calm down his father. “Please! I do not want to do this here, Dad. This is the reason why I wanted to tell you when we were alone. I knew you would overreact about my decision, but it’s not a big deal. And you’re wrong. This is not a mistake. I know what I’m doing. I do have a plan.”
    “Well, let’s hear your plan then?” his mother interjected over her husband, touching his arm in a calming manner.
    “I can still become an attorney,” Justin pressed on. “I just wouldn’t be attending Harvard. Not going to Harvard does not stop the world. There are a lot of great universities in Sydney that will enrol me and permit me to continue my studies of law. While I still want to be an attorney, law is not my only love, and now that Jessica and I have found one another, I can’t imagine my life without her.”
    “And you’re sure about all this—living in another country and getting married?” his mother asked him.
    His father grunted as he took his place in his chair again.
    Justin took a deep breath. “I’ve never been more sure about anything else in my life than I am now.”
    Abby sighed inwardly. It appeared Justin and Jessica were getting married within a month, whether their families liked it or not.

“S orry about that. The e-mail took longer than—” Sam approached the table where his family was already seated. He looked at their facial expressions and raised his eyebrows. “What did I miss?”
    “Your brother has just now informed us of his plans to live in Sydney for the foreseeable future,” his father stated. His voice was gruff. He stood up, adjusting the belt strapped around the top of his standard dress pants. “I’m going to get some air,” he proclaimed.
    Andrea rose from her chair. “I think I will join you,” she said as they made their way around the table and
