CHAPTER 6

“I can’t believe how cute these baby clothes are!”

Berlin grinned over at the pink frilly dress Arianna was holding up. “I know, right. I don’t think clothes were this cute when my niece Gabrielle was born.”

“You’re making me wanna have a little girl,” Arianna said with a playful pout.

“Yeah, right. I remember you saying you were never going through eighteen hours of labor again.”

She shook her head. “I don’t remember that.”

“I can show you the video,” Berlin teased.

The two shared a laugh as they moved over to another rack of little outfits. A bell over the door chimed as customers stepped in and out Precious Moments. The walls were decorated in garland and candy cane, poinsettias were all around the showroom floor, while the strain sounds of “Silent Night” drifted around the specialty baby store.

“Oh, you have to buy this sweater!” Arianna screeched.

Berlin gazed over at an adorable yellow cashmere sweater thoughtfully then frowned. “I don’t know if it’s a girl, and Reggie would kill me if I put his son in that.”

There was no mistaking her disappointment. “I guess you’re right.”

“Stay focused, Arianna. I’m depending on you. Otherwise, I’m going to fall off the wagon and buy a bunch of ridiculous stuff. And Lord knows we can’t afford to do that until that house is sold.”

“Okay,” Arianna said, dragging her shoulders back and taking a deep breath. “Alright, I’m back in control.”

“Good. We’re here to pick out furniture for the nursery,” she reminded.

“Okay, then we need to move over there.” Arianna steered her away from the clothes and over to the display window where furniture had been set up like a baby’s room. Outside the window, the street was decked out for Christmas. Garland hung from lampposts. Storefront windows had been wrapped with twinkling lights, and wreaths hung from doors.

“Ooh, I like this one!”

She looked over at Arianna and frowned. “Too much blue. I want something that would work for either a boy or a girl.”

“Then how about this one?”

It was tropical styled, featuring playful monkeys frolicking in colorful palm trees. With shades of chocolate, blue, yellow, green and rust, the color palette was both vibrant and soothing.

“I even like the rich dark furnishings.” Berlin was running her fingers across the railing, admiring the fine craftsmanship when something outside the display window caught her attention. She looked up and watched while her heart pounded at her throat.

“What are you looking at?” Arianna asked before she followed the direction of Berlin’s eyes. “Who’s that woman?”

She swallowed tightly. “No, the question you should be asking is what the hell is she doing with my husband.” Berlin watched Reggie climb out of his Escalade onto the snowy street and then walk around to the other side to help a woman out on the passenger side.

She was not only tall but had long jean-clad legs and stiletto boots. She was wearing a red pea coat and a black turtleneck that emphasized a long elegant neck. Watching her, Berlin felt fat and unattractive. She was beautiful with long black hair pushed underneath a black fedora.
