Wednesday, they're a happy, fun loving group, the Kelmann cousins and friends.
Wednesday night, Matt Kelmann is dead.
Matty's senseless death hits everyone hard, most notably his best friend and Joleigh-Anna's fiancé, Dr. Irvyn Woodworth, MD. They've been close friends since toddlerhood; closer than brothers. Each had pledged to be the other's best man on their respective wedding day. But, on the day that was to have been his and Joleigh's wedding day, Irvy is instead one of Matty's pallbearers.
Unexpectedly, he walks away from Joleigh-Anna at the gravesite. No explanation.
Stunned and heartbroken, Joleigh's at a loss as how to deal with this situation. She understands his grief, but why, why, why is he breaking up with her now? Frustratingly, he keeps his reasons to himself.
When she sees him out with someone new—a tall, gorgeous blonde who'd scored in the top 20 of his mother's elite list of Eligible Women For My Beloved Son, Joleigh is determined that her history with Irvy isn't going to be buried just because Matty is. No, they've shared too many experiences in the past twenty-four years for that to happen! Why, her first word had been his name— "Irby!"
Only, no tactic Joleigh employs seems to work— glorious bouquets of flowers, passionate emails, hand-drawn cards with original poetic verses . . .
Reasoning with Irvy is almost like reasoning with her four-year-old brother, Jarrett!
What, for heaven sakes, can she do to break through to him? He belonged to her! That marriage license he still possessed said so! Or has he tossed that away too?
Is his love for her really as dead as poor Matty? Has she truly lost Irvy to this dream of his mother's?
Joleigh conceives of one more desperate ploy to bring her world together again.
But . . . how to carry it out . . .?
