“One hundred and thirteen would go out in the mail later on today, and she expected the same amount of RSVPs to be returned. Last year, when Travis became of age, he’d flatly refused a party. This year she wasn’t going to let him back out of one.
Twenty-two years old. It didn’t seem possible that a month from now, she’d toast her son with champagne. Where had the years gone?
