THURSDAY

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Her wedding day.

From the moment K.D. awakened, the words drummed in her head and tumbled her stomach.

Now they were trimmed down to Her wedding.

This wasn’t supposed to be happening. She’d been so sure it would never happen, she hadn’t even considered that she might need to be braced against it happening, and now, here it was. Oh, God.

It’s fake. Pretend. A necessary part of their cover story.

A make-believe wedding, that’s what Anne had called it . . . and there was Anne sitting on her side of the aisle, smiling so broadly at her. All of them turned to look at her, smiling and smiling and smiling at her.

She clung to Ken’s arm and tried to focus on the strange outfits of these supposed wedding guests. Anything to get her mind off the short walk she was about to take.

Ella’s idea to make it seem that there were more guests than this small group had been embraced by everyone here. Patrick Knight, RJ’s brother, who was involved with Phoebe, had even found a reversible sports jacket to add another look.

Ella would call out when she was shooting them from the waist down or the waist up — doubling the “guests” who appear in the video without increasing the number of attendees. Ken wore one suit jacket now to walk her down the aisle, with another waiting for when he played best man. Myrna, now sitting in the audience, would slip on an oversized maid of honor dress over her clothes, both to add another attendee and to give her a different silhouette. With a quick clothes change, Tyce would portray minister and multiple guests.

It was going to take careful editing by Ella to make sure there were no slip-ups. Only she and Eric wore a complete outfit from head to toe.

Eric.

She hadn’t seen him since last night.

Not because of superstition. That would have been ridiculous.

It simply worked out this way. She’d had the final fitting this morning, while he’d driven back to the Schmidts’ tiny shop to pick up the rings.

She knew he’d succeeded, because Myrna, as her pretend maid of honor, had shown her the groom’s ring and given K.D. the engagement ring to put on. Presumably Ken had the bride’s wedding band.

The music started.

Nothing like Your Cheating Heart or Love Stinks. She almost smiled at the thought. This was familiar, so fam— Oh, good heavens. The Wedding March. The honest to goodness, never thought for a moment that she’d be the bride it announced, Wedding March.

Ken started forward. She followed. Her knees shook. She was going to fall over on her face. This video was going to have an entire laugh reel of outtakes.

“One step at a time,” Ken murmured beside her, placing his free hand over hers as it rested on his arm.

One step. And focus straight ahead.

To where Eric stood. Looking back at her.

With such a strange expression. Solemn, with something else mixed in. She looked at him as another step brought them closer.

Several something elses mixed in.
