Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

Judy's POV

I parted my lips to speak, but before I could, Gavin stopped me.

"You have a speech to make," he told me, gesturing towards the stage. I looked at the stage where Dean Rivers was waiting, a smile on her face as she watched me. I turned back to Gavin, feeling a flurry of butterflies in my chest.

"I don't have my speech with me, and this happened so fast, I don't have the time to reprepare for it," I admitted.

"Don't worry about that," Nan said, stepping beside me. She had a piece of paper in her hands, and she handed it to me with a grin. "I have your speech right here."

I looked at it and then back at her face.

"You knew about all of this?" I asked her.

She shrugged.

"Of course I did," she told me, nudging my shoulder. "Who do you think helped him make all the phone calls to all our classmates. Once I explained things to them, they were more than happy to help."

Tears brimmed the corners of my eyes; I cut her out like I cut everyone else in my life out. I ignored her calls and texts when I reached Redcliff, and I felt so guilty about it. Now, here she was, helping make this day absolutely perfect, and there were no words that could describe how much that meant to me.

I stepped closer to her and wrapped her in my arms, hugging her tightly as tears fell from my eyes.
