“Wow, Tiff, I just came from the conference room. The Gala set-up looks great, and you even tagged in the seating arrangement. What got you pumped up while I’ve been gone?”

Josephine began as she walked into Tiffany’s office.

Tiffany hoped the heat rising to her face wasn’t evident to her friend. “I just got a burst of energy and couldn’t stop.”

“Well, that’s great because that shaved an hour off our time tonight. We’ll give the names one final look and make sure there aren’t any ‘do not place in close proximity together’ people at the same table.”

Silently, Tiffany grabbed the file off her desk and followed her friend to the conference room, where she had only left moments before Josephine showed up. She hadn’t lied to her friend. She’d felt a burst of energy after Trevor left…guilt was always a great incentive. She threw herself full steam into the project in an attempt to compensate for the time used while she’d made hot, passionate love with Trevor instead of finalizing the gala plans.

Now, standing next to her business partner, they worked through the list of guests and seating arrangements. She couldn’t help but feel buried under the lie of omission she had withheld from not only her best friend, but also her father.

“Perfect as always, Tiff, all I’s and T’s appear to be dotted and crossed.”

“Thanks,” Tiffany said, distracted by the weight of what she needed to do. She took a deep breath. “Jo, we need to talk.”

“About Las Vegas?”

Tiffany wasn’t shocked Josephine was right on target about what was on her mind. Her friend had a memory like an elephant and was very intuitive. “And more. It would probably be best if we went to your office because you’re going to need to sit down…so am I.”

When they were seated at Josephine’s desk, Tiffany began, “Jo, I know you know I’ve been keeping something from you since we went to Vegas for the weekend? Also, knowing me as well as you do, you know nothing short of cowardliness has kept me from talking to you about it.”

“I’m assuming this has to do with why you didn’t get back to the townhouse until the following morning?”

“That’s right. I could go the long way around this in explanations, but I won’t. The fact is, I got married that night.”

There was no mistaking the look of shock on her friend’s face, but the look of hurt tore at Tiffany’s heart.

“You’ve been married for almost three months and you never felt like you could tell me?”

“Honestly, Jo, I didn’t want to tell anyone because I prayed I would be able to get a quiet divorce and no one would know. Besides, how do you tell someone that you got drunk and did the most cliché thing by getting married in Las Vegas?”

“Just like that,” Josephine snapped.

Tiffany smiled at her friend’s simple reaction. However, her father would see things differently.

Tiffany walked over to Josephine’s office window, pausing for a moment to watch the night activities on the street.
