Chapter Eight

“What do you think about this one?” Tammy held up a slinky red dress that looked as though it would barely cover her backside.

“What are you trying to do?” I asked. “Get yourself arrested?”

“Ouch.” She returned the dress to the rack. “A simple yes or no would suffice, sweetie.”

I sighed, following her to another rack where she looked for dresses. I’d already filled two shopping bags of my own at the last store, so I was content to wait while she shopped. “I’m sorry. It’s been an interesting week. A lot of old ghosts are coming back to haunt me.”

She looked up, concern showing in her eyes. “This isn’t about your date with Kris? What’s going on?”

“The usual. You know how my luck’s been lately.” She grimaced. “Oh, there have been some good things too. I just need to stop thinking about the yucky stuff and get on with my life. But some interesting things have been happening lately.”

“Oh? Well, tell Mama Tammy. Maybe I can help.”

I wasn’t quite sure where to start. I hadn’t told her about Grant and his proposal. When I described him and his interest in the business, her face lit up.

“That’s fantastic! You should definitely buy yourself something nice today to celebrate.”

“So that’s your advice? Retail therapy?” I chuckled. “Do you really think it’s so great?”

“Well, yes! I mean, this is what you been wanting, right? The chance to expand. Only now, you’ll get to do it without all the hassle. You won’t have to fund it all yourself. It’s a win-win, sweetie.”

She had a point. And in some ways, I had to agree with her. I reminded myself it was better to look on the bright side than to worry about everything that might go wrong.

“What’s the story with this Grant guy, huh? You said he’s a little older, dashing, debonair. I like him already.”

“He’s also a bit of a pill,” I said, trying on a pair of really cute shoes that had caught my attention. “He’s strong, domineering and has to be in control. I mean to the point of being overwhelming. He dominates the conversation, no matter what the conversation is about.”

“That’s never fun, but hey, maybe he’s just trying to impress you.” Tammy threw two more dresses over her arm to try on in the dressing room. I followed her there.

“Like he has to impress anyone.” I laughed. “But he has some redeeming qualities. In addition to being obviously very good looking and wealthy, he does work with the women’s Shelter,” I said, moving on to his positive characteristics. “And he’s clearly smart and successful, so he has that going for him.”

“Good, good.” Tammy’s arms and legs were visible, but nothing else with the door between us.

“Yeah, well even with all that, I’m still not sure about him. He made a smarmy comment about how fun it would be to mix business and pleasure, and it didn’t sit well with me.”

Tammy came out, rocking a classic boat neck, flare-skirted black dress that came to her knees.
