Chapter Six

“I look fat,” Skye said, standing in front of the mirror. “Shit, I look like an elephant. I should have worn black.”

“You can’t wear a black wedding dress,” Maisey told her sister patiently, “and you don’t look fat, you look pregnant.”

“Yes! I’m pregnant. I shouldn’t have worn white. Now I’ll go to hell and be damned for all eternity.”

The girls all chuckled, even though Tasha saw Skye’s mother, Fiona, roll her eyes as if she secretly agreed with her daughter.

“You look lovely,” Tasha said sincerely. “It’s a beautiful dress, and it’s going to make Owen cry.”

Skye looked stunning in a simple white empire line gown with sleeves to the elbow and a pretty fitted bodice sewn with pearls. She rested a hand on her five-month bump and narrowed her eyes at Tasha. “Are you going to cry? Jeez. If I’ve made Tasha cry, I must look horrendous.”

Tasha laughed and wiped beneath her eyes. “I’m not crying. Well, only a little bit. You just look so lovely.”

“And now it’s time to go,” Maisey announced. “Dad’s here, Skye. Come on, let me sort out your veil.”

Tasha watched while Maisey carefully lowered the veil, and Elle and Caitlin fussed around the dress, making sure it hung just so. Then it was time to go down.

When they reached the hotel foyer, the girls left Skye and her father behind and joined the guys outside. The marriage was taking place on the lawn, beneath a beautiful rose arbor. Luckily there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, and the autumn breeze blew warmly across them all.

Tasha’s heart skipped a beat as Kole turned to watch her approach, reminding her of the moment she’d seen him at the altar on their wedding day. He wore a slightly less fancy suit, but he still looked suave and gorgeous. Hopefully he’d keep the suit on when they got back to their room, she thought as she slipped her hand into his. She’d let him take the jacket off, but she’d quite like to do him in the waistcoat and trousers.

He raised an eyebrow and bent to whisper in her ear. “Something rude just went through your mind, didn’t it?”

“How can you tell?”

“I can always tell, Tasha Graham. What naughty plan are you concocting?”

“I’ll tell you later,” she murmured as they approached the arbor. “Behave.”

They moved along and took a seat with the others. Owen stood at the front with Mozart and grinned at them all as they waved. His parents had both passed away, and Skye had wanted only her close friends and her parents, so it was going to be a very small affair, but Tasha thought it was all the more poignant because of that. When Skye had fled the country after Harry died, Tasha wouldn’t have been surprised if she’d never returned. The dark-haired beauty had looked permanently haunted, and Tasha knew Skye’s family had been worried about her.

Tasha turned and watched Skye approach with Glen Graham, emotion filling her again at the sight of the huge smile on Skye’s face.
