“Okay,” Sylvia said. “We are going to the play area. We’ll meet you at the food court in forty-five minutes. Think that’s enough time for you to find a dress?”

“Are you sure you can handle all three of them?”

“If there’s a crisis, I’ll call you.”

“If you insist.” Louise hurried toward the nearest department store, trying to ignore Zoe crying for her to come back. The sound echoed in her ears, even after she was out of hearing range.

As she walked through the women’s section, Louise fought to suppress her anger toward Brendan. She shouldn’t care that he was marrying Julia. She hadn’t expected otherwise and she certainly didn’t want him back. So why was she upset? Because she was alone? On impulse, she got out her cell phone and called Sal.

“Hey,” he said. “Look, I’m sorry I haven’t called. My stupid expensive strawberry plants are dying. I’m trying everything, but nothing works. And the crop of strawberries I actually sell is in, so I’ve been working like crazy.”

“I’m sorry.” Louise let out the breath she’d been holding. It had only been a week since their date, but she’d still been worried that he hadn’t called or stopped by the library. “I want you to take me out. Please.”

“Okay. I mean I hate to ask, but why?”

“I have to go to Brendan’s wedding and I don’t want to buy a dress for it. If I knew I could wear it on a date with you, I might be able to actually choose something.” Louise flipped through a rack of dresses that reminded her of the polyester nightmares her mother favored. She moved on.

“I’m going to see the first profits from the strawberries next week, so yeah, let’s do something. I’m sorry about the wedding.”

“Oh my God. I just had a thought.”

“What?”

“You should come with me. I mean, you can always bring a date to a wedding, right?”

“Yeah, I guess so. I’m not an etiquette expert.”

“You have a suit, right?”

“A bunch. From my fancy, high-powered lawyer days.”

“Please?”

“Okay. Hey, we’ll make it fun. Dance a little.”

Louise spotted a royal blue calf-length dress.

“Perfect.”
