Chapter 10

Friday flew by for Corinne. She tried to concentrate on the alterations of Opal’s—well, Mary’s—wedding dress but she kept checking the internet for old time photographs, and fun props to use for the photo booth. Tamlyn had gone in to the studio, anxious to drive for the first time in weeks, and Corinne had called a couple of times to check on her.

“I’m fine, Aunt Corinne, really. I’m just working away here. Any luck on the wedding dress?”

Corinne stood and circled the wedding dress, lifting up the sleeves one at a time. She was making pretty good progress, most of it delicate hand work.

“I think so. It should be fine when all is said and done. Do you remember when they said the wedding is?”

“Not for a few weeks, so there’s no hurry. You shouldn’t have any trouble finishing both that and your photo project.”

Corinne nodded. She got lost in her projects and time flew by. She was still surprised at how excited she was when Tamlyn walked through the door.

“Oh, wow, you’re home early,” Corinne said before she looked at her watch. “My gosh, how time flies when you’re having fun.”

Tamlyn laughed and said, “It’s after six. You must really have been deep in it.”

Corinne wanted to say that the dress alterations had been taking up all of her attention, but Tamlyn knew her well enough to ask more questions. She just kept her mouth shut, but it didn’t work.

“So, are you excited for tomorrow?” Tamlyn asked as she opened the refrigerator and smiled at the casserole that Corinne had put together earlier in the day.

Corinne turned on the oven and reached for the casserole, setting it on the counter while the oven heated.

“Excited? For what?” She reached for some plates and set the small table in the corner of Tamlyn’s apartment.

Tamlyn plopped down on one of the kitchen stools by the counter.

“So you’re basically just waiting until tomorrow, right?” Tamlyn asked, taking a quick glance at her aunt from the corner of her eye.

“Whatever do you mean?” Corinne asked, trying to keep her voice light and airy.

Tamlyn laughed. “Okay, never mind. How about if we just eat dinner and watch a movie. Maybe it’ll make the time go faster for you. Have you picked out something to wear tomorrow?”

“Tamlyn, that’s absurd. Why would I pick something special out? I’m just going to a rummage sale.”

“Uh-huh. Okay. But it’s a rummage sale with a very handsome, single man.”

Corinne let out a huff and realized that Tamlyn wasn’t going to let it alone.

“Okay, what do you suggest I wear. Not that it matters. Allen was very much in love with his first wife, and he and his girls miss her dearly.”

She pointed at the wedding dress on the mannequin in the corner.

“As you can well see.”

Tamlyn turned her ankle in circles and glanced at the wedding dress.

“I know that. But I also know that there are some kind of sparks between you and Allen—Jaclyn even said so. So why not put your best foot forward?”

Corinne glared at her niece.
