Chapter 14

I DECIDED THAT HELEN was right. There was no point talking to Max, and certainly no point letting my mother ruin my life any more than she'd managed already. Sure, she kept texting me and trying to arrange that drink we “postponed,” but I just ignored her. I was going to get married and I was going to be happy. End of story I could forget about my mother, and I could forget about Hugh, too. Pretend I'd imagined the whole thing.

So for the next few weeks, whenever Chester started talking moonily about “that wonderful woman,” I just smiled tightly and pretended he was talking about some complete stranger. And whenever she swept into the office on his arm, looking like a giddy teenager and making a beeline for me just so she could twitter on about how proud she was of me and to tell me about their intoxicating romance, I did my very best to smile and pretend she was just some woman I'd met and didn't care about in the slightest.

Giles, meanwhile, was delighted to hear that everything was back on and immediately put ten meetings in the calendar (he'd pitched for twenty, but I'd gently reminded him that I did have a job to do, a job that didn't unfortunately revolve around table plans and wedding flowers, even spectacular wedding flowers). As for me, I called up the Wedding Dress Shop to ask for yet another appointment to get my perfect wedding dress fitted.
