CHAPTER SEVEN

What was Lucy supposed to do? The love of her life had asked her to give him a chance.

After he’d kissed her senseless, every bit of resolve she had cobbled into place systematically unraveled, as if he had pulled a single thread and left her guard lying in a tangled heap at her feet.

Of course she’d give him a chance. As if she even had a choice in the matter. A girl could only be so strong.

However, a chance didn’t necessarily mean she’d marry him. Not yet, anyway. Maybe not ever. She didn’t know. She was still reeling from the force of that kiss. Her lips were still tingling.

All she knew right now was that Ethan and Chelsea needed to get married first. It wasn’t a competition, of course, but if Lucy had learned one thing since opening the Campbell Wedding Barn, it was that every bride, no matter how humble, deserved to be a princess for a day. Lucy wasn’t going to do anything to upstage Chelsea on her big day.

Lucy knew that the truth of the matter was if she and Zane ran off and got married—or even hinted that they were considering it—the focus of the entire town would turn to them and how little Lucy Campbell had run off and married Celebration’s most eligible bachelor. People would speculate about the reason—and they’d be right.

So, no, Lucy wasn’t going to even consider anything until after her brother and Chelsea had tied the knot.

That was fine. After the kiss, Zane had presented her with two gallons of paint—not just any paint, but the perfect shade of yellow for their baby’s nursery. In some ways, this gesture made her even more inclined to entertain the thought of marrying him. It had made her really ponder—what exactly was the meaning of love? How was the best way to declare love? Anyone could say those three little words. He could’ve very well told her exactly what she wanted to hear and she would’ve fallen for it. Because she had already fallen for him.

But in the Zane fairy tale in her mind, his going to the trouble of finding the perfect shade of yellow was almost metaphorical to Prince Charming searching the kingdom for the woman whose foot fit the glass slipper.

Well, sort of… It had seemed a bit more romantic as it came to her in a rush. Practically speaking, she could use two gallons of the perfect shade of yellow much more than she could use a glass slipper.

Or had Cinderella ended up with a matching pair? If so, why did everything but the glass slippers revert to their original state at the stroke of midnight? And if only a single slipper remained… Oh, who cared? Hadn’t fairy-tale standards caused her more trouble than they were worth? And who needed glass slippers anyway, when the man of her dreams gave her a whole heck of a lot more than lip service?

Zane had come through. He had been there for her.
