CHAPTER TEN

At last, a quiet moment to gather her thoughts.

For the very first time, Clara could breathe easy after a meeting with Tula. The young woman had actually liked everything she’d picked out. That had never happened before. Clara smiled. Things were looking up.

Both Tula and Liza were gone by the time Clara had updated her spreadsheets. She made her way outside into the fresh, warm air. One of the things she loved best about the wedding chapel was the incredible view of the ocean. It was so relaxing. Exactly what she needed at that point in time.

She checked the time, finding that her meeting with Tula had been much shorter than she’d anticipated. And now she had some free time before her next appointment.

A gentle breeze rushed over Clara’s skin. She moved to the side of the chapel and took a seat on a bench. She lifted her face to the warm sun. At last this wedding was truly coming together. The smile finally returned to her lips. Soon her business would take off in ways she’d only ever imagined.

Her thoughts rolled back in time to the preparation for another wedding—her own. She’d been so excited to marry Andrew. Her gown had hung in her bedroom at her parents’ house for weeks before the big day. A frown pulled at her lips as she recalled how things had fallen apart so quickly between her and Andrew. One minute they were planning on exchanging their wedding vows, and in the next moment, Andrew was backing out of the whole wedding.

But was that really how things had happened?

Had it really fallen apart so quickly?

She’d had a long time to think it over. Sometimes when she was in bed late at night, she’d recall the events leading to their breakup. She remembered how the signs were there all along—signs she’d chosen to ignore.

Neither one of them had been in a proper place to consider saying, “I do.” They’d been too caught up in their fledgling careers. Their priorities had been their own goals instead of their relationship. The truth was that they’d had some growing to do—okay, a lot of growing to do.

“Clara?”

She glanced to the side, finding Andrew approaching her. It was as though her thoughts had conjured up his presence. There had always been some sort of unexplainable link between them, almost as though they could read each other’s minds. Was that what had brought him there today?

She gave herself a mental jerk, realizing she was being foolish. She was certain Brooke must have told him where she was. The young woman was a bit of a matchmaker at heart. But in this instance, Brooke’s efforts were misguided.

When he caught sight of her, he smiled. The breath caught in her throat. Oh, my, he was so handsome. Even more so than when he was younger. And he kept staring right at her. Her heart thump-thumped.

“Andrew.” Clara jumped to her feet, sending a slip of paper with some notes Tula had written out for the wedding fluttering to the ground.
