How the hell did I fall asleep so early? I looked around to find Matteo still asleep. Wait, why was I in his bed? I had no recollection of falling asleep in the bed. What the heck did I sleep through last night?

Usually, he was the first one up, moving around loud, like banging pots and pans together. I did the right thing and got up quietly, trying not to wake him while going to take a shower. When I came out, I found Matteo sitting up watching TV. He told me good morning, and I reciprocated.

I would say last night went well. It seemed his family really believed this big lie. Matteo did a way better job last night at selling it. He made sure to hold my hand a lot and look at me from across the room. I think he even winked at me a couple times.

“So, what was the verdict after I left last night?” I asked curiously. Who knew? Things could have gone downhill once I left.

He put a couple more pillows behind him. “Well, it’s official, my parents love you. My dad even mentioned marriage. That’s a big deal. We received a gold star for our acting skills.” Matteo’s eyes were glued to the television. He seemed nonchalant about it, which was good.

I didn’t mention the conversation with his mom. That would be weird. Hell, only three days left, and then I got my $10,000. I could do this. “Well, I’m off to meet your sister. She wanted me to tag along for last-minute wedding stuff. See ya later.”

Downstairs, I met up with Abigail who looked like a wreck.

Her hair, which usually looked perfectly curled, was in a frizzy mess, and she had on a wrinkled shirt.

“Is everything okay? It looks like you didn’t get any sleep.”

She rolled her eyes and looked at me like I said something out of line. “No, everything is not okay. My dress was supposed to be here two days ago for a final fitting. It just got here this morning. We need to go there first.”

Wow, she was stressed. I thought about maybe spiking her water with vodka, just to get her to loosen up a bit. Just kidding. Really though, she needed to calm down. This wasn’t going to be a good day if she was in a bad mood.

“Well, I’m sure things will be okay, Abigail. Try not to stress.”

She nodded, blinking back tears. I felt sorry for her in the moment because she looked miserable.

We made it to the bridal salon, and Lorraine was waiting for us. “Hi, honey. I called you as soon as I got the message. They are ready for you.”

Abigail took a deep breath. The only bad thing about her dress arriving late was if it needed any more alterations, it might not be done in time for the wedding. I hoped it fit. Lorraine and I waited outside the room, hoping we didn’t hear screams from inside. The door opened and out walked Abigail in one of the most stunning wedding gowns I’d ever seen.
