“Whit.”

Picking up her headset at the sound of Ross’s voice, Whitney grabbed the piece from the vanity behind the stage placing it back into her ear. Picking up a pile of clothes by the dressing room, she searched for her dress. Her loose, graceful and modest dress. One that hadn’t had her bottom hanging out. “I’m here.”

“I need you down at the merchandise table to help take these buyers’ orders for these clothes. I don’t know what system you set up here. Plus, I have to deal with the kitchen.”

Shoot. Where in the world is my dress?

“Give me a few minutes, okay,” she requested, walking to another vanity. Her heart felt like it was pounding inside her throat. Walking out onto that stage had been the most frightening thing she had ever done. The people had blurred together and she had focused on nothing but not falling. That was until she split her eyes through the front of the crowd and seen Shay in the front row, his face like stone. And like only he seemed to be able to do lately, she felt herself relax, mimicking the same moves she had watched the models before her perform. And by the time the other women had joined her on stage, she had even been able to breathe again.

“No. More like now. It’s insane down here,” Ross ordered inside her ear.

Rushing down the steps towards the front of the courtyard, she smiled to herself. She may have looked ridiculous and certainly felt it too, but showing off a piece that Charlotte had spent so many hours creating, had almost been fun.

Almost.

Pushing through the crowd she heard Ross again, “Whit!”

“I’m coming, I’m coming,” she promised, squeezing through the crowd, as two women gasped at her outfit commenting that it was the one they wanted for their boutique and themselves. Giggling to herself, she pressed through the crowd some more. Who in the world would ever wear something like this to a football game? Or in public for that matter? Charlotte was a genius and based on the crowd hovering over the merchandise table, she was a genius that everyone wanted a piece of. Feeling a long arm reach around her waist, she nearly fell off her feet as it pulled her behind a curtain away from the chaos. Feeling Shay before seeing him, she gasped as her legs bumped against a tall music speaker that had the ground shaking beneath her feet.

What in the world?

Falling down onto the speaker, she watched Shay move between her legs. He was so close, leaving her with no choice but to look up at him, the wool from his suit warming her body against the chilly air. Swallowing hard, she watched him while her hands shook as if she was back on stage again. She knew trouble when it stared down at her. And she also knew all about this man’s trouble. His face unreadable, he almost looked angry, as he gripped the back of her head.
