Overview

A short story set after Spiral, with spoilers for Shield (LA Storm 3) and Spiral (LA Storm 4)

With one groom in hiding and an explosion of pink in the backyard, will this LA Storm wedding end in tears?

As his wedding day draws closer, Jackson is in the throes of closing a high-stakes case working in conjunction with ATF and aimed at dismantling a notorious drug supply chain. The long hours and intense focus have left him exhausted and marginally grumpy. The wedding is now here, and all he has prepared for his vows is one line scribbled out on a crumpled, coffee-stained napkin. Then there's the shiner he got in a scuffle with an old silent movie star. Was there a witness protection program for guys who hosed up their big day?

With Scarlett and Daisy at the helm of wedding planning, Oli isn't surprised that the theme is a Barbie fantasy. As a compromise, the backyard venue is a vision of pink and decorated with delicate spirals of lights that Jamie and the girls had spent hours hanging. However, as the wedding hour approaches and every detail falls perfectly into place, one crucial piece is missing.

Jackson is hiding in the study and won't come out.
