When they got to the bride’s maid table Liz and Bella started to giggle, scream and hug. It was hard for Harrison to decipher what was going on. But it would have been hard for any normal person to figure out what the two women had been laughing about.
As Liz and Harrison sat down Liz could feel the tension between Bella, Ricardo and Harrison.
“So what’s next for you guys?” Ricardo asked as he looked Harrison in the eyes.
Ricardo had some news of his own but he just didn’t feel ready to ask Harrison. It was a wedding and Ricardo thought that Harrison might freak out a little bit when Harrison heard the news Ricardo had to give to him.
“You’re next for the big wedding.” Liz joked with Bella.
“Actually we aren’t getting married anytime soon, but we did decide to go on a trip around the world.”
Liz instantly grabbed Harrison’s hand and help it tight. She knew this news would have Bella dropping out of school and that did not make Harrison happy. Liz didn’t want Harrison making a scene at their wedding and she held onto his hand until she felt like he had calmed down a little bit.
“Daddy isn’t that so exciting. We are going to travel around to everywhere and anywhere!” Bella said with a high level of excitement.
Bella’s excitement was so high that Liz thought there would be no way to convince Harrison that this was a good idea. Harrison already had it in his mind that he didn’t like Ricardo, this news obviously made those thoughts much worse.
Liz squeezed Harrison’s hand one more time as she stepped into the conversation.
“I think that’s an exciting idea. We can all help you prepare. How long will you be gone traveling?” Liz asked as she flipped through her online accounts.
“Yeah how long will you be gone? How will you pay for this extravagant adventure?” Harrison asked as he kept his composure and started to drill Ricardo with questions about his intensions with his daughter.
“We haven’t set a time yet, but we do have a plan to be gone for several months. We are preparing our things right now for our trip.”
“Right now?” Harrison asked.
Liz decided she needed to get in the middle of this conversation. Obviously drunken Ricardo was not selling Harrison on anything about their trip. Liz couldn’t stand to just sit back and watch the conversation unfold.
“I want to make a toast,” Liz said as she started gently taping her wine glass with her knife from the plate she had been served for dinner.
Liz was not the type of girl who usually made toasts, but she decided she could make an exception since Liz wasn’t going to be doing this again any day soon.
“To life, love and adventure.” Liz lifted up her glass.
Harrison lifted up his glass too as he looked at Bella and Ricardo sitting next to each other and Ricardo leaning in to kiss Bella. Harrison didn’t know if he would ever be alright with a man kissing his daughter. And he certainly didn’t like Ricardo enough to want him around for any length of time. But Harrison wasn’t going to get onto his daughters bad side.
He raised his glass to participate in the toast. Harrison wanted to get this reception over with, he needed to get his woman back to their hotel room for the night.
They all raised their glass and looked at Harrison. It was official, Harrison was getting old. He looked at his daughter and her new boyfriend as he delivered his speech.
“Yes, to Life, love and adventure. I’d also like to toast to my beautiful bride who was crazy enough to let me come with her on her quest for adventure and sweet enough to share her love with me. Cheer Cheer.”
