Felicity turned to look at the back of her dress in the full-length mirror, fidgeting nervously. “Does it make my butt look weird?”

Patience laughed. “Your butt always looks weird. It’s no weirder than usual.”

Felicity stuck her tongue out at Patience, making Corinne giggle. “I think your butt looks just fine, Auntie Felicity. Mama’s just being mean.”

“Your mama’s always mean to me. It’s part of having a sister, I think.”

Corinne tilted her head to one side, thinking about that. “I want a sister. When are you going to have a baby so I can have a sister, Mama?”

Patience glared at her sister. “Look what you did!”

Rikki giggled and took Corinne’s hand. “Maybe you should practice your dance down the aisle.”

“Okay. Are my wings on straight?”

Rikki helped the little girl adjust her butterfly wings before opening the door. The last Felicity heard as they left was, “Your tutu’s a little crooked. Will you let me help or do you need your mama?”

Felicity looked at Patience. “Sorry about that. I didn’t know she’d latch on to the idea of a sister that way.”

Patience shrugged. “Oh, don’t worry about that. We’re trying. I’m just not pregnant yet, and I don’t want her to freak when I’m not next week either.”

“Is there a problem?” Felicity asked, looking at her sister worriedly.

“We’ve only been married a couple of months. At my age, it’s not a problem until I’ve been married for at least a year. No big deal. I just don’t want Corinne to get her hopes up.”

“I’ll say a little prayer for you.”

Patience smiled. “Thank you.” She carefully repinned a stray lock of Felicity’s hair. “What about you and Allen? Are you going to try right away?”

Felicity shrugged. “I have no idea. We haven’t talked about that.”

“Or much else, I’m sure.” Patience shrugged. “Plenty of time for all that after you marry.”

“You think?”

“Absolutely. Ryan and I didn’t talk about any of that before we got married and we’re doing fine. Of course, it helps that both of us believe that marriage is ‘til death do you part.”

“I think Allen believes that. He’s divorced though, so who knows?”

“That was different. I think even Dad would approve of a divorce under those circumstances. Well, he’d approve of a man divorcing his wife under those circumstances. He’d probably say a wife should stand by her husband even in the instance of adultery.”

“I’m so glad the church here doesn’t preach that nonsense.” Felicity took a step back. “Well? Do I pass muster?”

“You are the most beautiful sister a woman could ask for. I’m really happy for you.”

Felicity grinned. “I’m happy too. I can’t wait to be married.”

“What are his kisses like?”

Felicity laughed. “I haven’t let him kiss me yet!”

Patience looked shocked. “Because of what we were taught growing up?”

“Oh, of course not. I never believed that nonsense. No, I feel so much from simply touching his hand, I told him it would be best if I was already naked and horizontal the first time he kissed me for real.”

Patience threw back her head and laughed.
