I sit in the driveway, my car idling trying to figure out a nice way to tell my future wife I hid another secret from her. After my dad, I promised her there was nothing else I was keeping to myself. Jesus, who am I turning into? In my mind it all made sense. I’d inherit the money, put it into an account for us. Then we’d have some money to go on vacation or if anything should happen to either one of our jobs, we’d be okay. I hadn’t thought about what it’s going to sound like now. If my mom tells her first. I shake my head. “No.” It won’t happen. Never.

Before I realize what I’m doing, I throw my car in reverse and pull out of the driveway. The house to my left having no sign of movement. “Lucky Bastards,” I mumble at my friends who are most likely still sleeping. I drive as fast as I can without being reckless to the dress shop.

I parallel park outside, directly behind Sadie’s Honda. Downtown Western is completely vacant, and I wonder how Sadie is in the store before opening hours. The sign to Vera’s Bridal reads closed, but I try the doors and like magic they work.

A nice middle-aged lady tries to stop me, but if I don’t tell Sadie about the inheritance right now, it might ruin everything.

“Sorry, ma’am. I’m here to see my fiancée.” I weave past her, peering over her head of salt and pepper hair, seeking out Sadie.

“You know it’s bad luck to see the dress.” Her hand plants on my chest.

“Sadie!” I call out and a snort releases from the woman.

“Really, honey. Give her time. You’ll spoil your wedding day.” She attempts to fight me, but Sadie walks out of the fitting room at the exact moment she says spoil.

Spoil nothing. My girl is drop-dead gorgeous. I’m speechless, and honestly my throat burns and my eyes well up.

“Brady.” She scurries back to the dressing room.

Maggie and Ida stand and meet my eyes.

“You’re beautiful.” I call out to her, but she doesn’t come out. “I need to talk to you.” I’m trying to be polite and make this lady feel as though she has a chance of keeping me at bay, whereas I could easily dodge past her. “Baby, I need to talk to you.”

“Brady, what are you doing here? It’s bad—”

“Luck. Nothing is bad luck, Ida. Not with Sadie and I.” I finally swivel around the woman’s hand glued to my chest.

She groans but thankfully doesn’t follow me.

I knock on the white door, leaning my forehead on the wood.

“Brady. Why is this so important?” she says from the other side of the door.

“I have to tell you something.” I jiggle the doorknob, but it’s locked.

“You can’t see my dress. You know that.” She fights me, but I see the swish of the dress peeking under the door. She wants to give in to me.

“That’s not the dress you’re wearing to the wedding anyway,” I whisper, remembering Maura’s divulgence from earlier.
