CHAPTER 20

ELLA

“What is that all over you? You smell like…” I leaned closer and sniffed again. There was no mistaking the smell stuck in his clothes.

Josh was unable to keep the excitement from his voice as he beamed from ear to ear. “Gunpowder. I shot a cannon.”

I felt my brows pull tight. “A cannon?”

He nodded. “And Mr. Solomon, the owner, is letting us borrow it for the wedding.”

“For the wedding,” I repeated, trying to gauge if it was another one of his jokes. Judging by the goofy grin he wore, and the smell of gunpowder on his clothes, I was leaning toward it being very real.

“Looks like I can take two things off my list for the wedding. A cannon and a parrot,” he said with a laugh.

“Funny. You’re off shooting cannons while I was stuck wanting to shoot myself. That hardly seems fair,” I huffed as I slammed my hands on my hips.

I didn’t mean to snap at him. I was just annoyed I’d been stuck in wedding-planning hell, forced to choose between Allyson’s favorite color purple and Summer’s favorite color turquoise. I’d finally come up with a suitable solution—I’d choose both and the seamstress would make it work.

“Maybe if you’re nice, Mr. Solomon will let you shoot his cannon,” Josh said with a smirk.

“I’m always nice,” I snapped, storming away from him and closing myself in the bathroom.

I needed to get my anger under control. It wasn’t all Josh’s fault. The blame could be split right down the middle. Partners in crime paying for our lie.

There was a soft knock on the door as Josh said, “I don’t mean to rush you, but are you almost done in there? I’d like to get a shower before dinner.”

Opening the door, Josh slipped past me, turned on the shower, and then shucked out of his clothes as he asked, “Shopping wasn’t that fun, I take it?”

I crossed my arms and leaned against the sink with a grumble. “No. It wasn’t.”

He darted in and kissed my forehead. “I thought all women liked to shop?”

Rude words about what he thought struck the back of my teeth as I snapped them together. It was hard to keep focused when he hooked his thumbs over the waistband of his boxer briefs and then pulled them off.

I forced myself to look away. Pinching the bridge of my nose, I counted to ten. And then counted to ten again until the shower door closed behind him.

“I picked something up for you,” he said, breaking the silence between us.

“Unless it’s a one-way ticket back to Chicago, I’m not interested,” I said, leaving the bathroom.

Needing something to keep myself busy, I stuffed our dirty clothes into the linen laundry bag and tossed it over beside the door.

The shower shut off and a minute later, Josh wandered out of the bathroom. A towel was wrapped around his hips, the end tucked under to keep it in place as he scrubbed his head with another one.

Why did he have to
