“Why did you paint all the daisies purple?” Gracie poked one finger into the giant red, yellow and purple centerpieces that were supposed to decorate the tables at her wedding. “I hate purple and these are awful.”

“I made these centerpieces exactly how you ordered them.” Mary Greer, the florist, was looking more than a little green in the gills as they stood in the back room of her one-woman shop and surveyed 50 of the ugliest centerpieces Gracie had ever seen in her life.

“No, I didn't.” Gracie silently cursed her mystery impostor. “Like I already explained to you, someone is contacting the vendors for my wedding and pretending to be me. I never changed my order. You were emailing with a fraud.”

“I don't believe you.” Mary pointed at the purple daises. “You said you were going for a bolder look and you emailed me a picture of what you wanted the new centerpieces to look like. You asked me to rush the order.”

“No, I didn't. I don't know who you talked to, but it wasn't me.” Gracie took a deep breath and willed herself not to scream. “I'm sorry, but my wedding will not be full of purple daises and red orchids. You're going to have to re-do absolutely everything. I can't use any of these arrangements.”

“I still have the email. I even printed it so I could look at the picture for reference when I was revising the centerpieces. I don't know what kind of a trick you girls are trying to pull but I don't appreciate it.” Mary walked over to an old computer that occupied a tiny desk in the back of the room. She picked up a piece of paper, glanced at it once and then passed it to Trish.

Trish drummed her fingers against her thigh as she scanned the email with a glance. It was the same one they had seen last night.

Gracie knew she should probably shut up, but she was so horrified by the hideous centerpieces that she couldn't stop herself from arguing. “I don't understand why would you make crazy changes to such an expensive order without speaking to me personally?”

“I did speak to you,” said Mary. “You're just a spoiled brat who changed her mind at the last minute and doesn't want to take responsibility now that she doesn't like the results she got.”

“That's not true,” Gracie said.

Normally the very embodiment of serenity, Trish's cheeks were flushed as she surveyed the red and purple catastrophe that currently surrounded them. “I'm sorry, but Gracie is right. These flowers simply won't work. Even if we were the ones who changed the order, you spray painted the daises. They look terrible. The paint is peeling off in strips. They look like melting grape lollipops. Plus, the orchids are all wilting. None of these arrangements look the least bit fresh.”

“Why I never.” Mary set her jaw in a tight scowl. “I've been working on your centerpieces for two weeks solid. I've had to work 16 hour days in order to get your order completed while still handling the rest of my business.
