The day was flying by. After their pedicures and facials at the spa, the ladies retired to the bridal suite for hair and makeup. A knock on the door indicated the champagne had arrived, and with an hour until the ceremony, it was time to give a toast to the bride and wish her well. Avery poured a few sips into each flute, and each of the ladies gathered around and raised their glasses.

“Leila, I just want to say that there isn’t anyone on earth I’d rather see my brother with, and I’m so glad the two of you found each other. I’m honored to welcome you into our family. You’re already the sister I never had, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness.”

The ladies all cooed and clinked glasses. Leila took a sip before setting hers down to wrap Avery in a hug.

“Thank you for everything, Avery. You’ve really gone out of your way to make today special.”

“Shall we get you into that dress?” Avery motioned toward the beautiful white flowing gown that hung on the back of the closet door.

She took the dress off the hanger and held it open and low to the ground so Leila could step into it. Leila placed her hands on Avery’s shoulders to brace herself as Avery shimmied the dress up her body and then moved around to the back to zip it up.

“So, what’s going on with you and Shane?” Leila asked.

Avery was taken aback by the question, and the rest of the girls in the room fell silent from their chatter, as if awaiting her response.

“What do you mean? There’s nothing going on between us.” She did her best to stay cool as she knelt to dig under the bustle and fiddle with the fastenings.

“I was just curious if you two had given in yet. Seems like you’ve been fighting it since he got here.” Leila shot her a playful smile over her shoulder.

“Nah, that all ended a long time ago.” Avery rose to her feet and immediately went to work securing a ringlet that had sprung loose from Leila’s updo.

“So, you’re telling me you have no interest in Shane?” Leila tested her in a tone that told Avery her future sister-in-law wasn’t buying her story.

“Not in that way, I don’t. We were kids. Those feelings died long ago.” She didn’t see any harm in fibbing. Technically, they weren’t family just yet.

“Then you don’t mind if I go for him?” Chelsea chimed in from the corner, a hungry smile spread across her face. “I think there may be something between us and—”

“Suit yourself,” Avery said, perhaps a little too quickly, still fidgeting with Leila’s hair. She tried to back pedal because she could feel all eyes on her, and she didn’t want to let on to her annoyance. She did her best to plaster on a smile and soften her tone. “Like I said, that was over long ago. He’s fair game.” Those may have been the most painful words she’d ever spoken.
