Chapter 2

As I left the boutique with Stephanie, the sky rumbled. My attention was drawn to it. It reminded me of the story that Gail had just told.

“I’ve got to lose the weight, Stephanie.”

“I’m sure you will, but try not to forget that you’re getting married. It’s supposed to be fun.” She gave me a quick hug. “I’d better run before I get caught in this rain. Where are you headed?”

“Dinner with Max.”

“Wonderful! Have fun!” She waved to me as she walked around the boutique to the parking lot.

I knew that I should rush to my car too, but my mind was on the sky. The way the dark clouds rolled in seemed like an ominous warning. When a flash of lightning tore across the heavy clouds I jumped and ran for my car.

As I ran, I fumbled for my keys in my purse. I found an old wad of gum, a set of earbuds—that I didn’t remember were in there—and some dryer lint from when I worked at Fluff and Stuff. What I did not find were my keys.

Suddenly I remembered that I’d held them in my hand when I went into the fitting room. I must have set them down on the bench in the fitting room instead of putting them in my purse. Stephanie was already gone and I could feel the first drips of the approaching torrential downpour.

I hurried back to the front of the boutique. When I tried to open the door, it wouldn’t budge. I saw that the sign had been changed from Open to Closed. I must have been Gail’s last appointment.

The sky rumbled again. Rain splashed down on the top of my head. I ran back to my car and checked to see if any of the doors were unlocked. Of course, they were all locked.

The rain began to pour down in sheets. I pulled out my phone and dialed Max’s number.

“Hey, babe, I’m waiting for you at the restaurant.”

“Well, it might be a while.”

“Huh? Why?”

“I’m locked out of my car.”

“Oh no! In this rain? I’ll come and get you.”

“It’s okay, you just enjoy your dinner. I’m not far from my apartment. I’m just going to walk home and get my spare key.”

“No way, I’m coming to get you.”

“Really, Max, it’s alright. I can use a walk in the rain.”

“Sammy, I’ll be there in five minutes.”

I sighed and hung up the phone. Max knew me very well. I would have enjoyed the walk in the rain, but not the lightning in the sky.

I ducked under the awning of the boutique. I watched the other people on the street scramble for cover. Within a few minutes Max’s car pulled up right in front of the boutique.

“Need a lift?” He grinned at me through the window.

I scrambled into the car and laughed as I pulled the door shut. “I didn’t expect a monsoon. I guess we’ll have to stop so I can change.”

“You look gorgeous to me.” Max leaned over for a kiss. I smiled through it.
