Blake poked my back. “Dude, we need to talk. Now.”

I glanced back at him. “Um, we’re all kind of in the middle of something here Blake.”

“Yeah, well, this is important,” he whispered.

“Can it wait fifteen minutes?”

Blake sighed and then started to text someone on his phone. Terri got to the end of the aisle, and the wedding coordinator started talking again.

“Okay, Dad gives you away. Jim you’re going to step here.”

She went through the whole process of the wedding. Blake poked me again, this time harder.

“We need to talk.”

I ignored him.

“Seems simple enough,” Jim said as I turned and looked back at Blake.

“What is going on with you two?” Tucker asked in a harsh tone. “Y’all are being rude!”

“Tell that to him!” I stated, pointing to Blake.

“Then we walk down the aisle and each groomsmen and bridesmaid follows. Do you want to practice that?”

“No, we’ve all been enough weddings to know how it goes. Let’s not put them through that torture,” Terri said with a laugh.

Blake grabbed my arm when we had been given the all-clear and dragged me away from everyone. Tucker followed.

“What in the hell is wrong with you? I know the plan; we don’t have to go over it again,” I said, annoyed.

“Nash, this isn’t about our little surprise for Jim. It’s about Kaelynn.”

“Kaelynn?” Tucker asked, looking between the two of us. “Jesus, Nash, tell me you didn’t go forward with the background check.”

“No. I mean, Blake gave everything to his brother Dustin, but I told him to call it off. You did call him, right?”

Blake rubbed the back of his neck and looked like he was having a hard time trying to tell me something.

“You texted him, Blake. Right?”

“I did. I sent him a text and said you wanted to put a stop on the background check. Before we started the practice run, he texted me back. He said he had already started and can stop, but he found something out that you need to know.”

My heart stated to beat faster in my chest, and I looked at Tucker, then back to Blake. Did I want to know? Was it going to matter? I glanced back to Tucker who shrugged then bounced my gaze back to Blake and swallowed hard. Fear started to overtake me. “What did he find out?”

“Dotson is not Kaelynn’s last name. At least, he’s almost a hundred percent sure it’s not. He cannot find a record of any Kaelynn Shae Dotson in Utah. He hadn’t started digging deeper, though. He can stop, or he can keep going.”

“Well, are we sure she was born in Utah?” Tucker asked.

I nodded as I searched for Kaelynn. She was standing next to Charlie, who had taken Hannah back and was putting her into her stroller. She must have felt me staring at her because she looked up. Our eyes met and she smiled. I made myself smile in return before I replied to Tucker.

“I’m a hundred percent positive she was born there. At least she told me she was.”

“Okay, so maybe Dustin missed something. For all we know, Kaelynn could be adopted and that’s why she is so scarce about her family.”

“That’s true; I didn’t think about that,” Blake said. “So, what do you want me to tell him?”
