CHAPTER ELEVEN

BELLE

It’s been a few days since I’ve seen or talked to Molly and with her wedding coming up, I want to make sure her jitters aren’t getting the best of her. She’s a tough, spunky kind of gal, but wedding prep is hard on the biggest, baddest bridezilla, which Molly isn’t.

I stop at Smoothie, Smoothie, Smooth and buy her a peach mango freeze then drive the eleven blocks to her place. When I climb out of the car, she has the front door open already and comes out, tiptoe running to throw her arms around me. “I thought you died.”

In fairness, it’s been three days since we talked and we never usually go so long, but I had so many houses to show since the Fourth, I didn’t have a spare minute after my morning shower.

I hug her back then hand off her smoothie. “How are things?” She links our arms and we walk to the porch and inside. “Are you buried in wedding details?”

Hunter chuckles. “She is. And it’s got something to do with her BFF doing a slow fade on a day when the caterer called to say they don’t have a cook available on our wedding day.”

“Ooh. Bad news.” But I have tricks for this kind of thing. I smile and pull out my cell, dial and wink at Molly until the voice on the other end answers. “Crawford! It’s Belle.” We’re old friends and he owns a fancy restaurant in the city. We small talk for a second and then I nod at Molly. “Do you remember when we were in Cancun and you wanted to date that chick from the reality show? Who got you that date?” I don’t give him time to answer. “I did.”

“Uh, she smashed my name all over her show when we broke up.”

“But the fact is, I did my part.” I grin and wink again. “And now I need a favor.” I lay it out for him with the date and time and menu. “What do you say, pal?”

“That’s the return favor. All of it?”

“Her smashing your name on TV made your restaurant a go-to destination and a household name.” I’ve called in this favor a time or two.

“This is the last time, Bananabelle.” But he chuckles. “Until next time I guess?”

“I’m going to let you talk to Molly now so you guys can get the details and you can send her one of your fancy contracts.” And he will because Billy Crawford is a stand-up guy.

When Molly hangs up she hugs me again and Hunter smiles, puts his arms around both of us. “I haven’t been able to make her smile in days. You think maybe you could move in with us?”

He’s dressed in gym clothes and there’s a bag by the front door, but apparently he stuck around when the wedding food fell apart.

I laugh and watch him kiss her, reassure her, love her the way I’ve always known love could be, even though I don’t have a whole lot of examples in my life to go by.
