To the moon and back

Mr. Gold will see you now

HARPER

I hated not being able to touch him.

I hated seeing him less than two metres away from me and not being able to hug him tight and kiss him.

It was one of the worst things ever.

"So, I was thinking bridesmaids can wear fuchsia dresses?" Trish smiled.

"Dear, God, no" Mrs. MCGuinnes scoffed looking at Trish as if she had grown two heads, "Fuchsia, really?"

My eyes widened and I quickly looked away before realizing I wasn't the only one feeling awkward.

Talia, Elliot, Mrs. Mcguinnes, and Mrs. Fuller, had brought up the rest of Trish's 'Wedding Crew' save for her four other bridesmaids and Seth's two other groomsmen, besides Ethan, Chandler, and Andrew.

From the beginning of the meeting, it had been Trish trying to get her point across and her mother completely shutting it down with absolutely no remorse. She was worse than I had expected.

"How about emerald?" Mrs. Mcguinnes cheered gleefully, "It's the same colour as your eyes"

"My eyes are brown" Trish deadpanned not hiding her annoyance, "When have my eyes ever been emerald....Emerald is YOUR favourite colour"

Mrs. Mcguinnes tsked, "And for good reason"

I tried to tune Trish and her mother out and, instead, stared at Seth's mother who looked like she had just stepped off a runway.

She was wearing this gorgeous strappy blue dress that was both sexy and endearing and her dark hair was expertly framing her face in soft curls.

Mrs. Fuller pursed her lips, "Rachel, you've already gotten married~"

"And look at how that marriage turned out" Mrs. Mcguinness grunted with a sour look before harrumphing off into the kitchen, "Excuse me for not wanting that for my own daughter"

Trish let out a frustrated sigh as her mother began clanging about and turned to Seth, "Thanks for having your mom stand up for me...God knows you can't be a man and do it"

"What did I do?" Seth cried putting his hands up in surrender, "I can't go around yelling at your mother...she's your mother"

"And your a wuss" Trish snapped rubbing her stomach and sitting down next to Talia, "I can't believe you'd let me endure something like that"

Seth widened his eyes, "But thats YOUR mom!"

Mrs. Fuller let out a small smile at her sons absolute confusion before looking to Andrew, "I never asked how your father was"

"Oh" Andrew murmured putting his phone away, "He's...well, he's doing fine"

Although I didn't know much, I did know that there was something going on between Seth's mother and her brother, Andrew's father, and that was why they still hadn't seen each other besides the night of the gala. I figured she was still angry that her own brother had up and disappeared, in the form of jail obviously, because of his own greed despite knowing he had two children to consider.

"Tell him I send my regards~"

"Why don't you tell him yourself aunt Mona?" Andrew sighed rubbing the back of his neck, "He keeps asking for you and~"

Mrs. Fuller quickly stood up from her seat and smoothed out her dress, "Andrew, for all the years that you were angry with your father, I never once tried to tell you how to act or feel. So, I would appreciate it if you didn't try to act as if the moment you became all buddy buddy with him was all of our cue to do so as well"
