The Countdown Begins
Twenty-seven days. The planning alcove has a notebook, a candle that never seems to burn down, and a bride who pretends she's calmer than she is. November 14 will be small, candlelit, emerald and gold — I've known the colors longer than I've admitted to knowing the answer.
People keep calling the countdown bold. Bold is just what the world calls it. In this house, we call it counting down to the best day — and now it ticks on my page, where anyone who loves us can watch it get closer.
