Chapter 11

Water from the pot boiled over and gushed onto the burner. Brooklyn let out a squeal and removed the lid. Then she grabbed a sponge and wiped up as much of the spillage as she could. The beef on the stove was bubbling, and she turned it down so it wouldn’t burn. She wiped her forehead, glancing at the clock—a quarter to six. Fifteen minutes before Dax was to arrive for dinner, and she still had to put the garlic bread together, make the salad dressing, and finish setting the table. She’d hoped to get home from work earlier but had to put out a fire before she could leave. Jessica, one of the brides, was turning out to be the most indecisive person on the planet. Her wedding was in two weeks, and she’d changed her mind four times already about which flowers she wanted for her bridal bouquet. Brooklyn explained that she’d already ordered most of the flowers and that it would cost extra to order more. But Jessica insisted she didn’t care. She wanted her wedding to be perfect. And, of course, she could afford to be picky because her parents were footing the bill. The phone call with Jessica had taken an extra forty-five minutes, putting Brooklyn way behind. Plus, when she got home from work, the house was a disaster. Madison was camped out in the living room, her crap strewn everywhere. It was hard enough to have her mom there without having Madison too. Brooklyn’s quiet, orderly house had been turned into chaos.

At least Brooklyn’s mom, Paula, was taking a nap. Otherwise, she’d be in the kitchen lecturing Brooklyn on the proper way to prepare a meal. Brooklyn wasn’t keen on the idea of having Dax over for dinner, while her mom and Madison were in the house. But her mother insisted on meeting him, so Brooklyn figured she might as well get it over with.

Madison stood at the island, chopping vegetables for the salad. She looked at Brooklyn, frowning. “You’re stressed to the max.”

Brooklyn’s first inclination was to say something smart, but she resisted the temptation. After all, Madison was trying hard to be pleasant. And she was putting the salad together. “It’s been a busy day at work.” She felt Madison’s eyes, scoping her. “What?” she mumbled, pushing her hair out of her face.

“You must really like Dax.”

Discussing Dax with Madison wasn’t something she wanted to do. “Yes.” Better to keep her answer short.

“It’ll be good to see him. I haven’t seen him since—”

Brooklyn spiked an eyebrow, shooting Madison a death glare. “Since when?” If Madison knew what was good for her, she wouldn’t mention the infernal Valentine’s dance or she’d throw her out on her ear.

“Um, high school,” Madison, mumbled, taking interest in the carrot she was slicing. “I’m glad you found someone.”

“Thanks.” She couldn’t tell if Madison was sincere or if she was just paying lip service. Brooklyn watched as she peeled a cucumber and began slicing it. “Of course, Mom’s pretty set on fixing you up with Ramsey Smith.
