Chapter 12

Over the next few months, Brian was extremely busy. The wedding date was drawing nearer and nearer.

One day, the phone rang. Brian answered it.

"Hello?" he said.

"Hi, is this Brian?" a person asked.

"Yeah, this is Brian," Brian replied.

"Oh hi, Brian! This is Dave Ashmore." Brian felt his stomach drop. Morgan's father had never called him before. Had something happened to her?

"Hey, Dave! How is everything?" Brian asked.

"Pretty good," Dave replied.

"How's Morgan?"

"She's doing alright. She's really looking forward to being in your wedding. That's what helps her get by."

Brian smiled. "That's good," he said.

"I was calling to tell you that we are going to bring Morgan down to Florida two weeks before the wedding and stay until it's over. She's never been to Disney World or anything, and we thought we needed to take her there while we still can."

"That's great!" Brian said. "She'll love it down here."

"Listen, Brian, I know you're very busy, but do you think we could bring her by for a visit while we're in Florida?" Dave asked, hesitantly.

"Why, of course you can," Brian said. "I'd love to have her come over."

"Thanks," Dave said. "She'll be so excited."

"Well, when it gets closer to that time, just call me, and you can come visit," Brian said.

"All right," Dave said. "Thank you so much, Brian."

"No problem. I'll talk to you later. Bye."

"Bye," Dave said, hanging up.

Brian sat back in his chair, smiling, and tried to think of things to show Morgan while she was there.
