Enjoy an Excerpt
From Novella 1: Christmas Chaos
I pull her into my arms, reveling in the feel of her soft curves pressed against my chest, and rest my chin atop her blonde head. She buries her face into my sweatshirt.
“Hennessy, honey, you need to stop worrying about all the little details. We’ve come this far and, with the help of a whole lotta people, we’re going to have a beautiful wedding. With or without heat. With or without light. As long as you’re there with me, up at the altar, then nothing else matters,” I murmur into her hair.
She looks up at me with pale blue eyes, brows arched in concern.
“Bryan, I don’t consider heat and light ‘little details.’ And the roads—they’re like ice! How will anyone get here safely? How will we get here safely?”
I sigh and brush the hair back off her forehead.
“Do you have any idea how much I love you?” I ask. “And that’s not a rhetorical question.”
“I think I have some idea,” she replies, the corners of her mouth quirking up a little.
I shake my head.
“No, I don’t think you do. I wanted this wedding to happen fast because I couldn’t wait another day to be married to you. Don’t you see? It doesn’t matter—none of it matters. In the end, it’s just you and me taking a vow before God. It’s not the wedding, Hennessy. It’s the marriage.”
Her eyes study mine for a long moment before she puts a soft hand to my cheek.
“I’ll try to stay calm,” she assures me. “And I do know how much you love me…because that’s how much I love you, too.”
I lean down, my lips finding hers. It’s a beautiful, candlelit moment. Until it’s not.
“Noooooooooo, Mama! Miiiiiiiiiiine!”
Our kiss transforms into a double-sided snort of laughter. We pull away from one another, chuckling. When she opens her mouth to say something, I hold up my index finger to stop her.
“And before you worry about Jax being too young, or too unpredictable, he’s a little detail, too. An incredibly loud, incredibly destructive detail…but a little one, nonetheless.”
“Yeah, well, maybe we should reconsider letting him be the ring bearer,” she says.
“Why? You don’t think he can handle it?”
“Uh, well, you know the plastic bottle cap ring we’re using for practice?”
“Yeah…” I nod, wondering where she’s going with this.
“He just swallowed it.”
About the Author:
L.E. Rico didn’t set out to be an author. In fact, she’s made a name for herself as a classical music radio host—doing her best to make the music and the composers relevant by putting them into a modern context. It was just a few years ago that she discovered a passion for writing that blossomed into an entire novel. And then another. And another. And, while she still spends plenty of time on the radio, telling the stories of the great composers, she spends even more time composing her own great stories.
