The wedding is tomorrow!

Do what you gotta do. Decorate the church, decide what to wear, buy a gift for the happy couple, bake all the things... throw a bachelor party?

Oh and don't forget to water the apple trees. Never do that.

[really just wants to say yes. let him take her away, but why? he's amber's guy. he's a stranger. a familiar stranger]

[frowns at him and that sad little dejected puppy face of his]

I'm sorry.

[crossmyhearts]

[smiles wistfully at her. there's definitely something about this girl, he just can't quite put his finger on it just yet.]

[takes one last glance at the town limits just a few steps from them.]

No, it's alright. My whole life is in this village too. [even though now he starts to think about it he can't really remember it.] It was just a silly thought, I don't know what came over me. I'm sorry, Sheriff.

[recurred]

Don't be.

[instinctively reaches out to give his arm a slight squeeze]

I change my mind, I'll let you know.

[crossmyhearts]

I'll keep my things packed, then.

[what things, he doesn't have things. guess the spare bowties should count, though.]

[recurred]

[lingers there for a moment before taking a breath and turning the horse around]

We should get back. Big night at the inn and all. I'm sure they'll need you.

[crossmyhearts]

[takes another couple seconds, runs up to susan to catch up on the way to the town.]

Yes! I'm sure they had something they wanted me to do. Several things, possibly. I'll have to ask about that again when I come back.

[recurred]

You know, after talking to you, I didn't peg you a service man. You seem too clever for that.

[crossmyhearts]

I am, aren't I? [hope you weren't expecting modesty.] It's what I've done all my life, though. I never thought to question it before.
