Chapter 8
The Matchmaking Mommas Group Chat
Bret
We need to get them alone.
Gage
Is there something you need done for the wedding, Rosie? An assignment you could give the two of them?
Bret
Maybe they could be a stand-in at the altar while we’re setting up for the wedding, under the pretense that we need to make sure it’s in the right place. And what if we had the officiator accidentally marry them?
Rosie
Genius.
Gage
Guys, no.
Rosie
You’re right, Gage. We’re getting married at the park on Main Street, so we can’t set anything up until the morning of. Besides, my brother is officiating, and I don’t think he’d agree to surprise marry someone.
Gage
That’s a relief.
Gage
What if you assign Amelia and Hudson to work the grill at the barbecue together? It’ll give them time to chat and work toward a common goal.
Rosie
Maybe … That’s an idea.
Oh! Is there a way to get them both thrown in jail overnight?
Bret
Mild vandalism? Public nudity? We could frame them for a burglary!
Rosie
YES. Think of all the bonding they could do behind bars.
Bret
The ideas write themselves.
Gage
Let’s circle back to the BBQ. I think we should keep our eyes open for an organic opportunity to help them see that they have feelings for each other.
Rosie
Yeah. Organic. Wink. Wink.
Bret
Nudge. Nudge.
Gage
I’m scared of both of you right now.
