Chapter Ten

“Ugh. You’ve got to be kidding—pink?” Dani held the dress up against her and scowled at herself in the mirror. “You know, I didn’t sign up for any pink dresses.”

Kim grinned. “It will suit you, and it’s hardly pink-pink.”

Dani supposed she was right; the dress was a dark dusky pink. But pink was pink.

“It was a sort of dare,” Kim said. “I told Jake I’d wear the whole long white dress thing if he told the two of you that you were wearing pink dresses.”

“I’m not sure he ever did tell me,” Dani said. “I might have run in the other direction.”

“You probably weren’t paying attention. He told me,” Jess said. “And I told him—do your worst. No pink dress is going to scare me.”

But then Jess would no doubt look gorgeous in the dress. She looked gorgeous in anything, with her perfect oval face, tall slim body, and fall of almost white, platinum-blond hair. The perfection was only made more obvious by the scar that ran down her right cheek to the corner of her mouth.

Kim was also tall and slender and beautiful, her dark brown hair streaked with various shades of red. Her honey-colored eyes glowed with happiness. Sandwiched between the two of them, Dani felt like a midget.

She was glad for Kim, but it made her feel alone somehow. Kim hadn’t believed in love, but obviously, Jake had convinced her. What would it be like to feel like that? To love someone and know he cared in return, to trust that he would always care. That he wouldn’t one day turn his back on you, abandon you when you needed him most. Or die.

She shook her head. It had been so long since she’d allowed herself to think of her family, and she really didn’t want to start now. This was Kim’s day and she would put on a big smiley face for it.

“I would have been happy with a registry office wedding, but Jake’s mother wanted to do this and…” Kim gave a resigned shrug. “She’s a nice lady.”

“God knows where Jake got his personality from then. Because I don’t think ‘nice’ comes into his makeup anywhere.”

“Hey, he’s…” Kim trailed off. “Okay, maybe not ‘nice,’ but he has his moments.”

“I bet he does,” Jess said drily. “Do any of those moments take place on his desk? I still can’t look at that desk and not see the two of you—”

“Shut up. More than shut up. Forget I ever told you that.”

“Can’t. I’ve tried but the image is indelibly imprinted on my mind.”

Dani grinned as she let the conversation wash over her. These two were her friends. She’d known Jess since they joined up together ten years ago and she’d known Kim for five years, ever since Kim had come to work for Jake’s security company as the receptionist. They were the closest she had to family now.

“Come on,” Kim said. “Let’s try this dress on and see if it fits.”

Dani lay the dress down and started to unbutton her shirt.
