“You look tired,” Christie told Addy.

Addison sighed. “I am. Late night, last night. Scrambling to replace Denise for today. Thank God for Emma.”

Christie smiled. “She pulled another rabbit out of the hat, huh?”

“You could say that. I was on the phone for hours. She made a few calls and boom.”

“People respect her, Addy.”

Addison smiled. “Yes, I know. So? How do you feel about things?”

Christie smiled. “You mean things as in the show?”

Addison’s gaze narrowed. “I did until you just asked me that. What’s going on? What is Tam up to now?”

“Marriage.”

“Come again?”

Christie giggled. “We’re getting married.”

“Yep, I know. I was there when she asked, remember?”

“How could I forget?” Christie laughed. “I meant that we set a date.”

“That’s why she wanted to see Em today,” Addison mumbled.

Christie nodded. “Yeah, I think so.”

“When?”

“Two weeks,” Christie said.

“Wow.”

“Surprised?”

“A little,” Addison confessed. “Don’t get me wrong; I know that she wants to. I also know that she’s scared shitless. Which—again—is why she is with Em,” Addison smiled.

“Partly,” Christie said. She offered Addison a sheepish grin.

“Oh boy, what is Tam up to?”

“Nothing. She just was hoping we could do something small at your place when the girls get home.”

Addison tipped her head as she tried to process the information. “She wants to get married at our house?”

“Yeah,” Christie replied. Addison chuckled and shook her head with amusement.

“You don’t seem that surprised.”

“I’m not,” Addison said. “She proposed there, why not make it official there too,” she laughed.

“True,” Christie agreed.

“Just one question.”

“What’s that?” Christie wondered.

“How do you feel about that?”

“Me?”

“Yes—you,” Addison replied.

“I’m fine with it. Honestly, Addy, I wouldn’t care if she wanted to just go down to City Hall.”

Addison nodded. “Nah. She will want the people she cares about there. Deep down she’s a complete sap,” Addison observed.

Christie burst out laughing. “Don’t ever tell her you know that.”

“Nah, I’ll let her live in her own private La La Land.”

“How are you doing with the kids away?” Christie shifted topics.

Addison sighed and shrugged. “I have my moments,” she admitted. “Mostly it’s in the morning for both of us, I think. It just seems weird without them being home.”

“I’ll bet they are having a ball.”

Addison grinned. “Safe bet. Vicki’s phone calls have gotten shorter by the day. The first day she asked to call Em five times,” Addison said. “Yesterday? She couldn’t wait to get off the phone. Big things happening in Kansas apparently. Who knew?”

“Ah, but that is like Oz to her.”

Addison chuckled. That was true and it was bizarre. People dreamed their entire lives of coming to Hollywood. They envisioned a land of bright lights in a big city that made stars appear on earth. Addy and Emma’s children would grow up in a drastically different world than their parents had. Emma and Addy had once had those same stars in their eyes. It would differ for Vicki and her siblings. Hollywood was home. They would see Kansas as the gateway to Oz just as the movie portrayed.

“It’s weird,” Addison said.

“What’s that?”

Addison sipped her coffee and considered her explanation.
