Chapter Two
I love how Ethan spoils me. Though he’s been distant lately, I realize now that it’s purely just the wedding jitters. During our drive I brought up the arrangements for the wedding a couple of times, and he seemed sort of jumpy, so I let it go while we were still in the car. When we finally stopped, it was at our favorite restaurant, the one we used to frequent while he was in school.
Everyone there knew us by name, what they didn’t know is that we were recently engaged. When the owners caught wind, they immediately offered to pay for our dinners, and a complimentary bottle of champagne.
I noticed how Ethan looked at me when I told them of our news. He seemed shocked, almost as if it were a secret. I noticed that he was also a little more subdued during the meal. He didn’t seem like he was as hungry as he should be, being that he had a juicy sirloin steaming in front of him.
When it was time to leave, the owners congratulated us once again before we headed off into the night.
“I can’t wait for us to be married,” I said reaching over to cup the back of his neck in a warm embrace. He tensed just a little before relaxing and giving me a small smile.
“Yeah,” he said looking back to the road and giving a nod.
“What’s wrong?” I asked, noticing his change in demeanor.
“Nothing baby, nothing, let’s just…talk about something else,” He said reaching over and forcing a smile as he patted my thigh. I nodded my head in compliance before looking ahead of me.
These pre-wedding jitters were really getting the best of him.
