CHAPTER FOURTEEN

“Is all this really necessary?” Becky eyed the extensive makeup palette spread across her kitchen counter. She should have known better than to ask for Roseanne’s help.

“Yes, it is.” Her friend rearranged the assortment of paints and creams, most of which Becky couldn’t identify. “Amy did a great job on your hair, and the dress we picked out is killer. All you need is a little makeup, and Ford Adams won’t know what hit him.”

Amy Kilgore, former classmate and present owner of Dippity Do, had done a fantastic job on Becky’s hair. The new layered cut made the most of her natural curls while framing her face in the best possible way. Thrilled with the outcome, she’d made an appointment for the following week to have her hair styled before the next show, too. “I don’t want to hit him. I just want him to notice me.” Becky closed her eyes while Roseanne smeared some kind of lotion stuff on her face.

“Trust me, he’s going to notice.” She put the cap back on the tube and tossed it aside. From another tube, she squirted a dot of pale liquid onto her fingertip. Brush in hand, she tilted Becky’s head back. “Hold still, will you? We’ve got to get this done, pour you into your dress, and get you there in time for the show.”

“Preaching to the choir.” Becky twitched her nose. “That tickles.”

“Shut up. Artist at work here.”

Aware of the minutes ticking by, she tried to remain calm, but the closer she came to actually carrying out her plan to bring Ford to his knees, the more she doubted she should. “Am I doing the right thing?”

“No doubts, girlfriend. The man deserves to be taken down a peg or two after the way he tricked you on last week’s show.”

When Roseanne came at her with another brush, Becky closed her eyes again. She didn’t know why it bothered her so much if Ford thought her uptight, but it did. And she’d made up her mind to change his opinion.

Becky closed her mouth while her friend drew a line beneath her lower lashes. As soon as her hand lifted, she asked, “What if he doesn’t notice?”

“He’s gonna notice. He’d have to be dead not to. Take my word for it. Lips open, honey.”

Becky parted her lips. While Roseanne worked her magic on them, Becky envisioned Ford’s face when he saw her. Maybe, for once, he’d see her as a woman, not just his business partner. What kind of relationship could he have with this Ronnie woman? Ford had been in Butte Plains for half a year, and she’d yet to make an appearance. If she had a guy as gorgeous and great as Ford, no way would she let him wander off on his own for months. Ford had never given Becky reason to believe his affections were up for grabs, but his actions didn’t speak of a commitment to his long-distance relationship. Besides, she had no intention of trying to steal Ford.
