As much as Sarah hated to admit it, seeing Bradley in a tux turned a flock of butterflies loose in her chest. She steeled herself against the feeling. Star or no star, she had no business going all gooey-eyed over the man. Bradley wasn’t the kid next door anymore. While she struggled to hold on to her family’s ranch, he’d grown up and moved on. He’d overcome major hurdles that would have destroyed anyone who had less drive or talent and was fast on his way to becoming a legend in the country music industry. If all that wasn’t enough to keep them apart, in less than two weeks, he’d marry Catherine Mann.

Although, if she had to put her finger on the problem, that was it, wasn’t it? How could he marry someone he knew so little about? He didn’t even know his fiancée’s favorite flower. Yet he’d recalled her own love for mint chocolate, and they hadn’t been around each other for a very long time. Of course, he said Catherine never ate dessert, so maybe she’d never mentioned her allergy to coconut, just like she’d never told him if she preferred chocolate over strawberry, lemon over lime.

But…children. How could he be completely in the dark over whether or not Catherine wanted children? Or, if she did, where she wanted to settle down to raise them? Sarah had never known anyone who considered themselves in love enough to get married but didn’t know anything about the person they’d spend the rest of their lives with.

It certainly didn’t sound as if Catherine and Bradley had the forever kind of love she insisted on finding before she tied the knot. Then again, she guessed that was his business.

Just like it was her business to support him no matter what. ‘Cause that was what friends did for one another.

“Do you have your dress yet?”

Sarah tore her gaze from Bradley to face the saleswoman who’d walked up behind her. Her cheeks warming, she stared into the face of a kindly looking matron. “Oh, no. No. I’m just—”

“Don’t say another word,” commanded the woman, whose French twist was as much a part of her working uniform as the white gloves she wore when she handled the bridal gowns. “I have the perfect dress for you.”

“Well, I—” Sarah cast a pleading look at Bradley, but the man and the tailor were deep into a discussion of cuff versus no cuff. No help there. Not wanting to appear rude, she surrendered to the clerk’s insistent tug on her arm.

Besides, she reasoned, why not take advantage of the opportunity to try on a dress or two? With no boyfriend in sight—much less a fiancé—she might never get the chance again.

As she stepped into the dressing area, her gaze narrowed in on the single gown the saleswoman had hung from a hook in a curtained alcove. The butterflies that had settled in her stomach took flight again the moment she took in the dress’s simple lines and uncluttered look.
