House Rules: The Jack Gordon Story - Plot & Excerpts
Sun warmed his back. He could smell the fragrance of roses, and sunscreen. He touched the flower pinned to his shirt, trying to convince himself this day was actually happening. Activity along the beach was dying down as the guests started taking their seats. He was tucked towards the back, still in the shadow of the multi-layered deck that connected Rob and Blake’s Lake Michigan house to the shore below.

He spotted his sister and her kids sitting in the front row.
