Chapter 11

“You made it back!” Bryce hugged Gina.

“Careful of the dress.” Gina kissed him and pushed him away.

Nadine tried to inch past, carrying the pale-pink bridesmaid dress. Fortunately, Gina hadn’t gone for some awful meringue concoction. Instead, the bridesmaid dresses were simple and just below the knee. Something she should be able to wear again, in theory.

“I was beginning to think I should send out a search party.” He tried to unzip the bag that was protecting the dress.

“Ugh, there was a car accident. People can’t seem to drive in the rain.” She smacked his hand away. “You can see it in a couple of days. I hope the rain has passed by then.”

“I’m sure it will,” Nadine said. She’d checked the forecast at least a dozen times. Now all she wanted to do was go to sleep. It was way past her bedtime and she had to work tonight.

“Can I at least see what the bridesmaids are wearing?” Bryce asked.

“Guys, I’m going to bed.” She took a couple of steps away and almost thought she’d made it.

“Who are you bringing to the wedding, Nadine?” Bryce asked.

No one. She frowned and turned back to face him. Tall, rugged, he looked like he could survive just about anywhere with a box of matches and a Swiss army knife. He could probably kill someone a dozen different ways with the same items…and Meryn could probably do the same.

“Not one of your mates. I’m kind of seeing someone.”

Yeah, she kind of was. It felt nice to say it. Gina blinked and then stared like Nadine had sprouted horns and a tail or something. Bryce raised his eyebrows.

“Who?” He crossed his arms.

“Someone. He’s British ex-army.”

“Really? When did this happen? Where did you meet him? How come you never told me?” Gina’s voice rose with each question.

“I met him two weeks ago and we sort of ran into each other again. It’s only been a couple of dates.” Not even dates. Date maybe, if she included buying him breakfast.

“You have to bring him.” Gina nodded and smiled.

Bryce was looking at her, studying her. “He got a name?”

“I can’t bring him. We’re still getting to know each other. And yes, he has a name, but I’m not going to tell you so you can go do nefarious background checks.”

Bryce put his hand over his heart. “Me?”

“Have you kissed him?” Gina asked.

Nadine shook her head but heat crept up her cheeks.

“You have. Please invite him. I want to meet him. The guy who you dated more than once—that’s almost a record,” Gina said with mock shock.

“It’s him or my friend Blue.” Bryce smiled, teasing.

Nadine knew she wouldn’t be allowed to keep Meryn a secret from her friend forever, but she’d hoped to keep it under wraps for a little longer, until she was sure there was something to talk about.

“Neither.” Nadine lifted her chin ready to stare Bryce down.

“What did he do?”

“Don’t know.” Meryn hadn’t said, just that he’d been a soldier.

“Why’d he get out?”

She almost mentioned
