The place was in a frenzy of activity in preparation for the big event, and Chance didn't want any part of it. The celebration his parents had planned for their Silver Anniversary was extravagant, the biggest production the hotel had ever seen, and even more lavish than the wedding had been. Chance found the whole thing ridiculous. His parents didn't even share a room anymore; they hadn't since he'd been a small child. He couldn't even remember the last time he saw them kiss or hold hands. They had a very successful business relationship, but their personal relationship seemed nonexistent. He couldn't understand the desire to make an elaborate show of renewing vows they'd been indifferent to for twenty years. Alex had grown cold and distant toward him since the night they arrived, ignoring all of Chance's sexual advances whenever he tried to initiate anything in the bedroom. Alex was pulling away, leaving Chance with the distinct impression that he would be losing his boyfriend this trip, rather than the last of his virginity.
