Chapter Ten

After spending a few days back to back with Mitch and the Barons, the last couple of days at her own home had felt especially empty for Gwyneth. She’d never found her house anything special, or even warm and friendly, but suddenly it felt downright stark and cold. More than once, she’d considered calling Mitch to simply check up on how his plans for the new legislation were going, but never found the nerve to actually pick up the phone.

When Eve called last night to ask if she was free to join them shopping today, Gwyneth was thrilled. When the invitation included supper with the family at the ranch afterward, including Mitch, she almost did a jig in place.

She hadn’t said a word the day they’d tried on dresses, but it had been years since her mother had taken her out to an actual shop. All of her dresses were now custom made to her mother’s standards from a dressmaker’s form of her figure. Once she’d gotten over the shock of dressing and undressing in front of Eve and her cousins, she’d actually enjoyed the day, but today was a whole new learning curve.

The first thing to surprise her was when the saleswoman came out with a tray of red and white wine. Did people actually shop and drink at the same time? She tried on sandals, summer heels, dress shoes, and a pair of cowboy boots in pink that had glass studs on them and enough bling to send her mother into a tirade for a week. She absolutely loved them.

“Oh, you have to get those.” Rachel waved a hand at the pink boots. “They are so cute.”

“They are, aren’t they?” Gwyneth turned her foot tapping her toe then her heel. They felt like fine leather gloves.

Rachel took a long sip of her red wine. “I love a good pair of cowboy boots. They’re especially helpful when you need to kick a man to the curb.”

“Uh, oh.” Eve slipped out of a sleek pair of black Christian Louboutins. “That sounds rather strong for a general statement. Trouble in paradise?”

“Not anymore.” Rachel shook her head.

Leah frowned. “Does this have something to do with Derek?”

Taking another sip of wine, Rachel shrugged. “I gave him the boot a couple of weeks ago.”

“And you didn’t tell your own sister?” Leah dropped her jaw. “Two years with this guy, one year of constant complaining, you finally decide to call it quits, and you wait till now to tell us?”

Rachel shrugged and stepped into a pair of high spike heels. “I was waiting until the sour taste wasn’t in my mouth anymore.”

“So this time you’re really over?” Eve pushed the multitude of shoe boxes in front of her to one side and reached for a box of Manolo Blahnik shoes.

Nodding her head with enough force to snap off, Rachel sighed. “Haven’t heard a word from him.” She raised her wine glass. “I’m moving on.”

Gwyneth did her best to keep track of why Rachel had broken off her relationship with Derek.
