“No, though it’s going to be hard to share you with somebody else who wants your love.” Then he chuckled. “Good thing is that we’ll have a very dedicated babysitter.” He motioned toward the tent where his mother was giving the florist and her helpers instructions on where to place the flower arrangements.

Sabrina laughed. Her mother-in-law would be a wonderful grandmother. “I fear that once we hand our child over to her for a day, she won’t want to give it back.”

“That’s a definite risk,” Daniel admitted.

“Daniel?” his father’s voice suddenly came from the house as he stepped out into the garden. When he spotted them, he added, “Ah, here you are. The Millers just called and said they’re coming to the wedding, and they’re very sorry about the mix-up with the calendars. They said they can make it after all.” He rolled his eyes.

Daniel shook his head. “Mix-up? It appears the Millers just read the New York Times and decided that it’s safe again to be associated with us.”

His father smiled. “It appears so. So let’s be gracious and welcome them. I’ve added them back onto the guest list.”

Sabrina pointed toward Raffaela. “James, you might want to let your wife know. I have the feeling she’ll want to rearrange the seating plan again.”

James sighed. “Oh dear.”

Sabrina stroked over his shoulder. “Well at least they’re not invited to the rehearsal dinner tonight. If she had to change the arrangements for tonight, she would really be stressing out. At least there’s still time to make changes for tomorrow.”

Her future father-in-law made a dramatic grimace. “I’m assuming neither of you wants to do the honors?”

Both Daniel and Sabrina shook their heads in unison.

“You can do it, Dad,” Daniel encouraged him as he marched toward his wife.

“Do you think we’ll be like that when we’re an old married couple?” Sabrina asked.

“You mean still in love? Still playful?” He pressed a soft kiss on her lips. “Yes, all of that. I promise you.”

Before she could lean into him and kiss him back, footsteps from behind her made her turn her head.

Sabrina’s breath caught in her chest. “Mrs. Vogel?”

The female partner of Yellin, Vogel, and Winslow, the firm who’d fired her only days earlier, stepped onto the porch. “I’m sorry, Miss Parker,” she said hesitantly and pointed back toward the house. “The front door was open, and there was nobody in the house. I’m sorry to intrude.” She motioned to the tent. “You’re busy. So I won’t keep you long.”

Sabrina swallowed and instinctively reached for Daniel’s hand.

“Mr. Sinclair.” Mrs. Vogel nodded at Daniel. “I’ve come to apologize to both of you. On behalf of the entire firm, I’m terribly sorry for the manner in which we treated you. It was inexcusable. We should have known that it couldn’t be true. We should have trusted in you and your integrity. I could give you a hundred excuses why we terminated your employment. You know, reputation, image and such. But what it boils down to was that we made an error in judgment. And for that we’re truly sorry.”

Sabrina nodded numbly, surprised at the thoughtful apology. “Thank you, Mrs. Vogel. It means a lot to me.”

“That’s not all. I know you might not trust us anymore, Miss Parker, but we do value your work at the firm. You’re an excellent attorney, and we would hate it if we’d lost you for good. I’m here to offer you your job back. That is if you still want it.”

Sabrina could barely believe her ears. “You’re offering me my job back?”

With a smile, Mrs. Vogel nodded. “Take your time to make a decision. But we would love it if you returned to Yellin, Vogel, and Winslow after your honeymoon.”

Sabrina exchanged a long look with Daniel, who smiled at her encouragingly. Then she looked back at Mrs. Vogel and stretched her hand out to her. “I’d love to.”

Mrs. Vogel let out a relieved breath, shaking Sabrina’s hand. “Thank you. And congratulations on your upcoming wedding.”

Moments later Mrs. Vogel was gone.

“I can’t believe it!” she said and threw herself into Daniel’s arms.

He turned her in a circle as if she were a horse on a carousel.

“Congratulations, baby!” He laughed. “See, everything is fine now.”

“Almost everything.” She smiled wistfully. The wedding was back on. The guests were coming. She had her job back. But there was still one thing that wasn’t right.
