Chapter 7

Melanie and Brayden spent the afternoon scheming and shopping. Melanie even convinced him they needed to stop in at Luscious and So Fresh for some last-minute beauty treatments.

“You could use a trim before the competition anyway,” she quipped, tousling Brayden’s slightly shaggy hair. So while he went off to get a haircut and a proper shave, she had her hair trimmed and her nails done. They even swung by Jacqueline’s so she could buy a decent dress. She hadn’t packed anything formal for the competition. She was a tomboy who packed light. Nice dresses didn’t have a place in her small suitcase.

At five o’clock, they drove back to Darrion’s house and rang the doorbell. They both tried not to laugh when his eyes widened at the sight of Melanie in a dress.

“What on earth are you two doing?”

“We’re here to cheer you up,” Melanie said, placing a kiss on his cheek.

“Well, I don’t want to be cheered up. I want to be alone. You need to respect my privacy.”

“You’ve had all day to sulk,” Brayden said. “We’re not going to let you mope away a perfectly good Thursday night.”

“Go put on something nice. We’re going to take you out for a proper night on the town and show you exactly how much you mean to us, and how wonderful the past few days with you have been.”

“I don’t know. We really should stay in. We want to save our strength for Saturday. Plus, tomorrow is going to be a very long day of rehearsal.”

“You’re starting to sound too curmudgeonly for your age. We’re not going to throw away your youth like that. Now get dressed.”

Darrion rolled his eyes. “Okay, okay. We’re not going to be out late, though. Is that clear?”

“Whatever you say.”

After Darrion washed his face and threw on a suit, they got into Brayden’s truck and headed into town. The first stop was cocktails at the Boom Boom Room.

“Let’s try to limit it to just a few drinks, okay?” Darrion’s voice had a nagging tone. “The last thing we need tomorrow is to be suffering from hangovers.”

“Will you relax?” Melanie said with a smile. “Come on, we deserve some fun after the past couple of days.”

They sat down at a table. Melanie ordered a cheese plate, and Brayden selected an expensive bottle of wine.

“I thought you were avoiding carbs all week,” Darrion teased, a smile starting to pull at his lips, despite his best efforts to remain serious and refined.

“I believe a wise old man once taught me about the importance of having fun and loosening up once in awhile.”

“Good to see you know how to take advice.”

“Good to see you’re starting to take your own.”

The waitress brought out their food and drinks, and the three of them toasted before imbibing. They sat in silence for a few minutes, enjoying the taste of the wine and finally starting to unwind from the events of the day.

“I have a little surprise for the two of you,” Melanie said, after polishing off her glass.
