Chapter 17

Bethany stood in front of her closet staring at her clothes. She had no idea what to wear. Jamie said he had a few things to take care of and took off. They had an appointment at the courthouse at four. What did one wear at a fake wedding? Especially one at a courthouse with only a witness couple.

She still couldn’t quite believe she was doing this. Her parents would have been horrified, but she didn’t know what else she could do to save her house. This was the only option that presented itself. And it was a damn good option.

The doorbell rang, and she ran downstairs. She’d called Bunny last night and told her she had some news. If she’d gotten married without telling Bunny, she’d never forgive her.

Bethany flung open the door. Bunny spotted her ring before she could even open her mouth.

“That is gorgeous. He’s marrying you for your money, right?”

Bethany rolled her eyes. As many times as she tried to explain to Bunny that she was broke, Bunny never believed her. Though Bethany saw a wink and thought that maybe she was underestimating Bunny’s intelligence.

“No. He has plenty of money of his own.”

“Then why’s that ring so small?” Bunny held out her own hand. “Look at mine. And I know Jamie’s got more money than Danny.”

Bunny had a rock that even that snooty saleswoman would be envious of. “Because I wanted this ring. Maybe it has nothing to do with money. Maybe we’re in love.”

Bunny snorted. “Oh please. That man hasn’t so much as kissed you. I don’t know why you’re getting married, but love has nothing to do with it.” Then she shoved past Bethany and waltzed up the stairs. Bethany followed.

Bethany hoped that no one else was that observant. “Believe what you want. We’re getting married today.” The butterflies in her stomach were going bananas. Everything about this was surreal. The marriage. The money. Everything.

“Whatcha gonna wear?”

“I don’t know. I was just looking in my closet. Want to help me pick something out?”

“Of course.”

Bunny froze in the doorway. “I’m not going in there with that thing.”

Bethany peeked around Bunny and saw Hexa asleep on her bed. Bethany wiggled past her and jumped on the bed with the dog.

“If you want to help me pick out my dress, you will.”

Bunny screwed up her face. “This isn’t fair.” She tiptoed in the room, staying as close to the wall as she could and then slid into the closet. Bethany giggled at her. Silly girl.

Bunny started tossing dresses out of the closet. Then she poked her head out.

“You’ve got nothing sexy. This will have to do.” Bunny pulled out a light pink sundress that Bethany wore to a tourism convention once. The material was silky, and the skirt flared out at the waist. Then Bunny found a pair of strappy white heels. Bunny helped put her hair up in a twist, but Bethany wouldn’t let Bunny touch her makeup. She took a few deep breaths. This wasn’t exactly how she imagined her wedding day, but the next one could be normal.
