Chapter 7

Sandy and Wyatt exchanged looks and then opened the door to the bridal suite near the chapel. Her heart pounded as they dashed from the elevator. Something was wrong. She took a deep breath, and they walked in together. Sandy pasted a smiled on her face as she stared at the back of her best friend's dress. "Penny, you look amazing."

Then Penny turned around and Sandy saw that her best friend's cheeks were puffy and her eyes were glassy. She collapsed into a nearby seat for the vanity. "Eva…"

Sandy grabbed a box of tissues while Wyatt leaned closer. She handed Penny a tissue as she asked, "What about her?"

"She's…" Penny wiped away her tears and stopped speaking. Sandy reached out for her hand.

Wyatt said, "Sis, tell us so we can help you fix it."

Penny stared at her brother with her chin still trembling, like she needed to let out a cry. "She said she was pregnant with Jay's baby."

"She what?" Sandy shrieked. Eva was their friend. Yes, Eva dated Jay before Penny returned to Miami, but that ended as soon as Jay saw Penny again. Jay hadn't glanced at Eva since Penny arrived. It was impossible.

Then Eva's words in the elevator rang in her head.

Penny reached out and took her brother's hand. "She said they were having an affair, and an accident happened."

Again Sandy glanced at Wyatt, whose other hand curled into a fist. "What did Jay say?"

"I can't find him." Penny sniffled.

Wyatt needed to remember what Eva said in the hallway. His face became flushed as their gazes met for a moment. Sandy turned to Penny. "Eva reminded us in the hall she was a paid actress. I think someone paid her to say that to you."

Penny let out a sigh. She took her hands out of theirs and patted her eyes with the tissue. "I thought she was lying, but why would she do that to me? I know we're not close friends, not like you are with her, but that's just mean."

"She needed the money, and Jay's mother wants you to leave him," Sandy said, as she was the only one in the group who knew Eva's situation. "Her last play wasn't well received and closed early, leaving her without an income for a few months."

"It's true," Wyatt said. He had no way of knowing, but it was good he believed her. "We should still ask Jay, though. I don't want my sister marrying a man who she never even discussed this with."

Penny nodded. "You're right. Go find Jay."

"We can all go. I'll stand behind you," Wyatt said.

Sandy brushed a speck of dust off the wedding gown as Penny stood and said, "I can't."

He blinked. "Why not?"

Penny tugged at her dress a little. "I'm in my wedding dress. Wyatt, I need you to go get him."

Wyatt straightened his shoulders then crossed his arms. "To do what? Bring him to you or throw him overboard?"

"No, don't do that." Penny's hands waved and then settled on her sides. "Sandy's right.
