CHAPTER 12

Lara had never been inside Taylor Made. Any clothing adjustments she’d ever needed she could easily take care of herself or by asking Betty to help her, but that had been for simple hems on outfits that were inexpensive and easily replaceable. Lara didn’t trust herself to fit an entire suit, which was why this one had never fit right.

She made sure to show up exactly when Kerry had told her. They might be dealing with fashion, but Lara didn’t do fashionably late. She didn’t want to risk coming too early and seeming desperate or interrupting Kerry’s work either, though. She approached the front door at exactly six and caught the store hours listed on the sign posted to the door. Nine to five. Kerry must have stayed late for her.

Lara felt herself smiling when she walked in. Kerry smiled too upon seeing her. She was sitting near the front of the shop at her work station. She had a measuring tape wrapped around her neck like a boa, and pencils tucked behind each ear like horns. She looked like something out of a variety show, and Lara wondered if she herself looked this eccentric when she was surrounded by her knitting equipment.

“Hey there, stranger.” Kerry stood, and her stool squeaked across the linoleum floor. “Welcome to my domain.” She held out her arms like a queen presenting her kingdom.

Lara took a brief look around. It was a nice little shop. Quaint, but not too small, considering the number of customers they probably had. There was Kerry’s messy work station, another cleaner sewing station on the opposite side of the room, and rows of shelves and fabric in the back that were harder to see. Only the front lights were turned on.

“If you’re looking for cats, you won’t find any, I’m afraid,” Kerry said, her tone teasing. “We only serve humans here, and having pets in the shop seems like an allergy hazard. Wouldn’t want to kill anybody.”

“Please tell me that you’re secretly all of the Internet trolls who go around calling me The Cat Killer, and that it was a fake prank all along.”

“I’m afraid not. Unfortunately those are real idiots,” Kerry said.

“Yeah, I had a bad feeling about that.”

“Is this the suit?” Kerry asked, pointing to Lara’s garment bag.

“Yep.”

“Let me see.”

Lara handed her the bag and Kerry unzipped it. She assessed the fabric carefully. “I like it. Get changed.”

“Uh.” Lara shifted self-consciously. “Right here, or?”

“Yes, right here.”

“Oh.” Getting half naked within the first five minutes of the second date wasn’t exactly something Lara made a habit of, but in hindsight she probably shouldn’t have agreed to a suit fitting if she wasn’t prepared to take off at least some of her clothes.

Hand on hip, Kerry tapped her foot on the tile, stared Lara down, and waited impatiently for her to start undressing.

Sheesh. Talk about lesbians moving quickly.

Slowly, Lara dropped to one knee, prepared to make a fuss of untying her shoes to stall for time. Intently, she
