Chapter 18

“What’s your vision?”

“My vision?”

I was sitting across from the wedding planner, whose perky attitude and commercial-perfect white teeth were having a real irritating effect on me. William’s personal assistant, Shawna, sat next to me on the cream leather couch in the pristine office decorated like a bridal suite. She was supposed to be taking notes, but so far she had spent most of the meeting texting furiously with William’s business partners.

“You know,” the wedding planner said, nodding at me with a smile that would have blinded Stevie Wonder. “Your grand vision for how the wedding should go.”

“I… don’t really have one.”

“Don’t be shy. William Fawkes has told me that I should do whatever I need to to make things perfect for you.”

The wedding planner leaned forward and put her hand on my knee, as though we were conspiring about napkin color and flower arrangements.

“You are a very lucky woman, believe me,” she said. “He must love you very much.”

“He’s a wonderful man,” I agreed, biting my lip. “So, about this vision thing. What do people normally, uh, envision?”

“Well, it all depends on your personality. Some women want a pink and white romantic luxury wedding. Some people want to go modern and high-class. There are plenty of venues in Denver and the surrounding areas that are special. You could do a wedding at a ski lodge—it’s not quite the prime season for a lodge wedding, but spring is lovely in the woods—”

“The woods,” I said, thinking of William’s house nestled amid the pines. My first wedding, to Justin, had been a hasty trip to Vegas. He hadn’t even shelled out for one of the fancier quicky wedding elopement spots. No, the place he’d chosen had been grimy and claustrophobic. When I envisioned the perfect wedding, I wanted exactly the opposite. “How about a wedding in the woods?”

“An outdoor wedding?” The wedding planner perked up even further. “Absolutely. We can do that. I know the perfect venue—”

“What did I miss?!”

William’s mom burst in through the door, waving her hands in the air.

She plopped herself down on the other side of me on the couch, kissing me on both cheeks and giving a wave to Shawna. Shawna smiled curtly and waved back.

“Sierra, I’m so glad to see you again!” Bobbi cried, as though we hadn’t seen each other at the luncheon only the day before.

I’d spent the rest of yesterday avoiding William, which, as it turns out, wasn’t that hard to do. After the luncheon, I’d escaped in my own car to take Kit to the park. He was so preoccupied with business that he hadn’t come home until after midnight. I’d still been up, but I’d pretended to be asleep, and he hadn’t even knocked at my door. Some part of me was disappointed that he hadn’t made any kind of move towards me after that one night. But I could understand.

I was a thief, after all. And this wasn’t a real wedding. I wasn’t a real wife. I had to remember that.
