Janelle hung up the phone and sat back. “Marc says to wear something nice. He has a specific request for a certain pair of disco chicken shoes.” Despite her general crankiness where Marc was concerned, Janelle’s green eyes crinkled at the corners with amusement. The contest was over, but he’d planned something fun, so Alyssa and Marc were keeping the date.

“Any idea where we’re going?”

“Normal rules. It’s a surprise. I can tell you to wear your hair up and bring a bathing suit.”

Alyssa’s nose wrinkled. “I didn’t bring a suit.”

“I have one you can borrow. It’s a bikini.”

Alyssa wrinkled her nose. “I’m not ready for a bikini in December.”

Janelle rolled her eyes. “You look great, Aly. Nothing we can do about the lack of a tan, but at least you won’t have awkward lines.”

Swimwear settled, Janelle set to work curling and pinning her hair up off her neck. Tonight, she’d opted for a backless dress made modest with a white cardigan. Other than the ridiculous heels that shortened her steps and added five inches to her height, she could’ve been headed to church service. The bikini was rolled up and tucked into her handbag.

“Showtime.” Janelle grinned as the BMW’s headlights turned into their driveway. Marc stepped out and slammed the door behind as if he’d owned it forever instead of borrowing it from his brother.

A sudden attack of nerves struck Alyssa as she tottered out onto the porch. The shoes were ostentatious—fine for Manhattan, but Florida was a less fussy scene.

“You look great.” Marc reached for her free hand and pulled her close enough to buss on the cheek. The heels put her nearly on eye level, a scant inch between the tops of their heads. No wonder he’d asked her to wear the damn shoes.
