“What do you mean we can’t get married tonight?”

After eating an extravagant room service dinner, they’d gotten dressed together, bumping elbows in the bathroom and giggling about what they were going to do. Kyle had looked up the marriage bureau address and confirmed they could do a same day service. It looked pretty straightforward.

But now they were at the Graceland Chapel, license in hand, and it was packed. The clerk gave them an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry. We do recommend making a reservation in advance.”

Kyle turned to Laney, who looked crushed, and brushed a kiss across her temple. “You want to go somewhere else?” he murmured.

She shrugged. “I’d kind of gotten attached to the idea of being married by Elvis.”

The clerk cleared her throat. “We could fit you in at three tomorrow afternoon.”

Laney brightened up. “We’ll take it.”

Disappointment warred with anticipation in his gut. What was one more day? It felt like a lifetime, which was ridiculous.

“Come on, high roller, let’s go see if we can find a midnight burlesque show.” His almost-wife gave him a naughty smile and his maudlin reaction to the delay was forgotten. Hell yes. He pulled out his phone and texted Willem that he wouldn’t be attending the next day’s poster display or plenary luncheon. Turned out he had the date of a lifetime instead.

A quick cab ride delivered them to the doors of the hot new dinner theatre where Willem had bought tickets earlier, but it seemed like denial was the order of the day.

“We do have another show on our smaller stage. A comedy thing. It’s weird. And free.”

“Wow, you’re really selling it.”

“The drinks are only two bucks.”

Laney groped his ass and whispered something about stripping for him when they got back to the hotel if he bought her a few drinks, but not quietly enough because the ticket guy grinned and told him that sounded like a bang-up deal. Kyle glowered but couldn’t deny the truth.

She’d put her black mini-dress back on. Her suitcase had been brought up from the front desk, where she’d left it, and she’d teased him with a glimpse of a leather corset, but she decided she wanted to be able to show their mothers a wedding photo so it had been stashed away again. She’d look good shimmying out of that dress in a bit, and weird and free would at least make for a good story.

And it did. They laughed, and drank, and stumbled out two hours later feeling pretty damn good.

Even though it was the middle of the night back east, Laney texted her sister a picture of them in front of the show poster—both of them flushed and happy. Evie was apparently awake, because she called Laney just as they arrived back at the Venetian. From the half of
