The rest of the family burst into laughter.Lucas Harlow's cousin, Spencer Harlow, clapped him on the shoulder and waggled his eyebrows. "What's wrong, Lucas? Don't tell me you and Katherine have already slept together. We're all family here. There's nothing to be embarrassed about!"My face instantly turned bright red, and I hurried to wave away the accusation. "No, we haven't. We really haven't."I turned toward Lucas, expecting him to step in as gently as he normally did and steer the conversation in another direction.Instead, Lucas didn't even look at me. His gaze remained fixed on the newlyweds' bed, and beads of cold sweat had formed across his forehead.His aunt, Nora Whitmore, failed to notice anything unusual. She marched over, grabbed Lucas by the arm, and tried to push him toward the bed."Oh, come on! You're the only unmarried man for miles around. If you don't bless the newlyweds' bed for good luck, who will? Hurry up and get on there. Bring them some good luck!"
