We showed up at the boutique eight on the dot, and Nancy was there all smiles and helpfulness as we looked at dresses.

“Getting married. How nice.”

I could hear the question in her tone.

Simon was all charm. “I was surprised she said yes, myself. Now that I have her commitment, I don’t want to wait.” He put his arm around me. “Isn’t that right, honey?”

I smiled broadly. “I couldn’t believe it when he asked me.” That wasn’t a lie.

“I always thought you didn’t like Mr. Stark. No offense, but this town isn’t very warm towards you.”

He waved away the comment.

I jumped in before he could, because after all, this was what he was paying me for. “Simon is just misunderstood. My work has helped me see that. He’s rough around the edges, a little bit like a feral animal who is untrusting, but deep down wants to be loved.”

He quirked a brow at me. I attempted a loving smile. He looked at Nancy and smiled. “That’s me. Feral animal that wants to be loved.”

“They say there’s someone for everyone. Now, honey, what would you like to wear?”

I found a few ivory colored dresses that were actually quite lovely. I went into the dressing room to try them on. One was an A-line tea length dress with lace and beading, but the A-line didn’t hang as nicely as I’d like over my full hips.

Next, I tried on a vintage chiffon tea-length dress that had a strapless bodice, but a filmy mesh halter. The skirt lay smoothly over my curves. I felt pretty and I had a moment of sadness that this wasn’t real. Five years ago, I’d have been giddy to putting on this dress and marrying Simon.

“Mr. Stark.” I heard a voice that sounded like Sinclair’s outside the dressing room.

“Deputy Mayor,” he said, confirming my thought.

“Oh, Sinclair, are you looking for a new dress for your debate coming up?” Nancy asked.

“I will. I was walking by on my way to the office and noticed people in here. I just wanted to make sure you’re alright.”

“Oh, we’re right as rain, aren’t we Mr. Stark? He’s getting married, you know.”

“No kidding?”

I looked through the curtain in the dressing room to see what was going on.

“Yes, to the nice young reporter lady.”

I wanted to hide in the dressing room, but this was what Simon was paying me for and I didn’t want to mess this up for Mason.

I stepped out. “What do you think, honey?” I put on a surprised expression. “Sinclair? What are you doing here?”

Her eyes narrowed as she studied me. “Just checking in with Nancy.”

I looked at Simon. His eyes were dark as he looked at me, but not with menace or anger. No, if I wasn’t mistaken, he liked this dress.

“You know it’s bad luck to see the bride before the wedding,” Sinclair said.

“It seemed to work alright for you and Mr. Jones,” Simon said.

Wanting to avoid a pissing contest between Simon and Sinclair, I said, “Ms. Bitmer, I’d like this one.
