Eva seriously thought she had died and gone to heaven. The last two weeks—wow, her life had changed so radically! Before she was an invisible cripple with nothing more pressing in her life than making sure to take her pain medication and watch Gabriele have the life she thought she’d never have. Today Eva felt alive and… hopeful.

Last month each wedding-related task assigned to her was like a needle in the heart, poking and taunting her with envy and pity. But now she made ribbons for the table decorations with enthusiasm. One day she would have her own wedding.

Even if it wasn’t to Sebastian (Oh my heart, please let it be him!), he’d shown her that she was worthy of adoration and affection. Of love and devotion.

Not that he’d declared his love to her. But he obviously really, really liked her. Every time she’d gone over to his flat (sneaking away while her parents were busy with the church, and Gabriele with Lennon) with the guise of writing a song, Sebastian struggled to keep his hands off her. She’d had a lot of practice at kissing lately (!), and more than once she had to gently move his hand when it crept too high or too low.

“Eva?”

“Huh, what?” She’d become the queen of daydreaming lately. Gabriele stared at her across the kitchen table with consternation. “You’ve made one bow in the last five minutes. We’ll be here all day at that rate.”

Gabriele’s friend Julia and Eva’s mother were seated around the table, helping as well. Her mother just tsked and kept her eyes on her own handiwork. Julia had short dark hair, and a severe side part. She raised a brow and nodded subtly, like she was signaling that she found the bow-making task boring too.

“I’ve done three in the time that you’ve done one,” Gabriele continued.

“Okay, I’m working,” Eva said.

“Give the girl a break,” Julia said. “I’d find it hard to concentrate too, if I had the attentions of Sebastian Weiss.” She grinned wickedly at Eva. “You must be going crazy!”

A hush descended on the table. Her mother’s head shot up. “She’s not seeing that boy anymore, Julia,” she said.

Her family didn’t know she was still seeing Sebastian, but that didn’t mean they hadn’t been spotted together. The Neustadt was relatively small.

Julia narrowed her eyes at Eva, and Eva could tell that she knew. She’d seen them. “Oh, I’m sorry,” she said tactfully. “My mistake.”

The door chime rang, and Eva was thankful for the distraction. Gabriele sprang from her chair to let Lennon in. She stepped into the hallway and the women left behind at the table could hear Lennon’s footsteps stop in the stairwell and the subsequent passionate greeting.

Eva rolled her eyes. Her mother and Julia studied the ribbons in their hands like they couldn’t hear the smacking of lips coming through the open door.

Gabriele led Lennon in by the hand and waved at the mountain of bows on the table. “The big ones are to decorate the end chairs in the rows in the church,” she explained.
