Chapter Eighteen

“You look beautiful.” I smiled at Pilar as I walked into her room.

“Thank you.” She turned around and showed me the rest of her gown, which was now completely altered and fit perfectly against her curvy frame. “And thank you again for everything you’ve done. I knew you could, but it’s still . . . I’m in awe.”

“And you haven’t even seen the reception.” I winked.

“I can’t wait.” She squealed. “I can’t believe I’m actually getting married.”

“You better believe it after all the work we put into this.” I raised an eyebrow. She laughed. The women around her, helping her dress, also laughed lightly.

“Do you know if Tamara and Asher are here?” Pilar asked. “We don’t know if Ash fits in his little tuxedo.”

“I’m sure he—”

As if on cue, the door opened and Asher, Ben’s son, ran inside. His mother followed closely behind him, a bashful smile on her face.

“I’m sorry. He just couldn’t wait and the guard said it was okay,” Tamara said.

“Are you kidding? We were just talking about you.” Pilar moved, making the women hemming her dress stop, and crouched to throw her arms around Asher, kissing his forehead gently, before standing and hugging Tamara.

“You look stunning,” Tamara said, pulling away. “The most beautiful bride.”

“Thank you. Thank you for coming on such short notice. Is Jack here?”

“He’s here. He went to take Ben some cigars he brought him.”

“Oh, he’ll love those. I just hope he doesn’t smoke them before the wedding,” Pilar said.

“I’ll kill him if he does.” Tamara scowled. “I told Jack to wait but he kept going on and on about a humidor, so . . .” She shook her head. “Ben’s parents are also here. You owe me for that one.”

“Oh my God. They flew in with you?” Pilar laughed.

“Only because I love you.” Tamara shook her head.

Pilar laughed louder, then stopped, turning to the small garment bag on the chair beside her. “These are Asher’s tuxedos. We can hem either one if they’re too long. I think the photographer wants him to get dressed with Ben for photos.”

“I’ll take him right over.” Tamara grabbed the garment bags and tapped Asher’s head. “Let’s go get changed for the wedding.”

“I’m going to have the most important job,” Asher announced to the room. “I’ll have the wedding rings and without wedding rings you can’t get married.”

“Very true.” Pilar smiled. “I hope you’ll take good care of them for us.”

“I’ll guard them with my life.”

“That’s a bit excessive, but thank you.” Pilar laughed. I couldn’t help but laugh as well.

“He watched a movie about knights on the way over.” Tamara shook her head with a chuckle. “Come along, Asher.”

“See you in a bit, Ash.”

“See you, Princess,” he called out, blowing her a kiss as they walked out of the room.

“He’s so sweet,” one of the seamstresses said.

“Adorable,” another added.

“He is.” Pilar grinned widely.

Of all the things in the world that could surprise me, the biggest one was my friend’s ability to not only accept the fact that her fiancé had a son, but cherish it.
