Charlie's waiting

by Mêlisa Annis

The night before their wedding, Louise is busy with all the planning while her fiancée Kelly busies herself feeding the goats. Everything is blissfully exciting until a friend from Kelly's past shows up with an unexpected wedding present and threatens to derail Louise hopes for the future she has so carefully planned.
