“Alright. I’ll call you back.”
He ended the call and tapped the screen to pull up his parents’ number, his heart still racing with the simple joy of saying the words out loud.
We’re getting married.

Dana and Robert expressed happiness at Aaron’s news.
His father, as Adam had predicted, soon began to dispense advice.
“I know that you’re in love and have stars in your eyes,” Robert said across the speaker phone. “but before you sayI do, you and Camille need to sit down and discuss how this is going to work on a practical level.”
Aaron frowned slightly. “How do you mean?”
“She’s an actress,” Robert said simply. “Where is she going to work? Unless she’s involved in a television series where she goesto work every day and comes home at night, she may be away from you and Madison for several months each year.”
Aaron nodded slowly as he slowed for a stop light.
“And what about you?” Robert continued. “What kind of projects will you be involved with, and with whom? You’re an actor. Will you be starring in romantic films with other actresses? Will she be doing the same with other actors?” He paused. “These are important questions, Aaron. I have seen it tear many Hollywood marriages apart.”
Dana chimed in.
“Your dad’s right, Aaron,” she said gently. “Compromises will have to be made on both sides. You have to find out if Camille is ready to do that before you make a lifelong commitment.”
Aaron rubbed the back of his neck with his left hand as he steered with his right. “We’ve talked about some of that.”
“Some isn’t all,” Robert replied calmly.
Dana said warmly. “But we are very happy for you. Camille is a lovely woman.”
“And Madison adores her,” Robert added. “That matters.”

Alexandra was thrilled.
“I knew it!” she declared the moment he told her. “I absolutely knew it.”
“You knew what?” Aaron asked, amused.
“That you two would end up together.” She said triumphantly. “And I’m just going to point out that it wasmyBible study suggestion that started all of this.”
Aaron laughed. “Oh really?”
“Yes really,” she said. “You don’t have to give me credit publicly, but privately we both know the truth.”
“Well,” Aaron said, grinning, “if you can take the credit, I suppose Ray should too. He was the one who insisted on casting her.”
Alexandra waved that away dismissively. “Technical details.”

A few minutes later, Aaron made another call.
Damian answered.
“Hey.”
