“What the hell just happened?” Allie stood with her hands on her lace-covered hips, staring at the empty doorframe Swede had just passed through.

“He’s a man. They can’t handle all this girl stuff.” Sadie tilted her head to the side and tapped her chin. “Or, is it that he didn’t like seeing you in a dress you’d be wearing to marry another man?”

“Don’t be ridiculous.” Allie turned her back to Sadie. “Unzip me. The dress is fine. We can leave as soon as you’re ready.” She couldn’t wait to get out of the dress shop. Really, she couldn’t wait to ask Swede why he’d run out like a cat with his tail on fire.

“What’s up between you and Swede?” Sadie asked.

“Nothing,” Allie replied, a little too quickly. She took a deep breath and answered more slowly. “Nothing. I’m marrying Damien on Saturday.” Come hell or high water.

“Look, Allie, you don’t have to go through with this wedding.”

“I accepted his proposal. I’m marrying Damien on Saturday.” She refused to be a wishy-washy bride. Having made her decision, she should stick to it.

Sadie finished unzipping the back of the dress and turned Allie to face her. “You don’t have to marry him.”

“I keep my word.”

“This is a case where you can break your promise, if it doesn’t feel right.” Sadie squeezed her hands. “From the look on your face, it doesn’t feel right, does it?”

“I don’t know.” Holding the front of the dress up, Allie turned to the mirror, trying to see what Sadie saw in her face. But all she saw was a cheater who’d kissed her bodyguard. “I need to see Damien. Everything will be okay once he’s back in town.”

“Will it?” Sadie rested her hands on Allie’s shoulders.

“This is all pre-wedding jitters. I’ll be fine as soon as Damien is back in town.”

Sadie planted her hands on her hips and stared at Allie in the mirror. “Okay, assuming you really love Damien, and you still want to marry him, tell me why. What’s so great about him that you can’t see yourself with any other man?”

That was the problem, Allie could see herself with another man. Swede. Hell, he’d been the groom in her wedding dream. What was the matter with her? Damien was everything a woman could want in a husband. “He’s handsome,” Allie started. In a preppy, businessman way. Not in that rugged, outdoorsy way, like Swede.

Not helping.

“So? Handsome isn’t everything. I work around extremely handsome men in Hollywood.” Sadie snorted. “Trust me, handsome isn’t everything.”

“He’s a very successful businessman,” Allie stated.

“So, he knows how to make money. How important is that to you? You and your father haven’t wanted for anything. What can money buy that you don’t already have?”

“I can travel more. See the world.” Damn was she that materialistic?

“With a man you’re not sure you’re in love with?” Sadie crossed her arms over her chest. “I’d rather stay home. I’ve been on sets in different countries. Without someone you love to share the excitement of exploring a foreign country, the trip is just sad and lonely.
