I arrived at the wedding venue out in the Hudson River Valley at an upscale vineyard early the next morning.

The blushing bride squealed when she saw the veil and hugged me. Her whole family told me how beautiful it was. The bride’s mother dabbed her eyes.

“Thank you so much for making this a special day. I always dreamed of the day my daughter would get married. You’ve just made my dreams come true!”

After double-checking the wedding dress, an ethereal ball gown with a cascade of silk flowers, to ensure that there wasn’t a thread out of place, I went down to the ceremony in a small outdoor amphitheater in the gardens on the vineyard grounds. Amy was bustling around, stringing up garlands of flowers.

“I have the chiffon you wanted,” I told her.

“Did you bring your needle and thread?” she asked, harried.

“What kind of seamstress would I be if I didn’t?”

Amy stuffed a bucket of white roses into my arms.

“Loop the chiffon along the aisles and fasten these roses on.”

Ivy’s voice squawked periodically out of Amy’s Bluetooth walkie-talkie. She was ticking off various items on her to-do list then asked Amy if there was extra ribbon, as the ring bearer, a Jack Russell terrier, had chewed up part of his tux.

“Brea’s here,” Amy told Ivy.

My friend came outside a few minutes later with the half-chewed vest.

“Oof,” I said, inspecting it.

“Can you save it?” Ivy begged. “The bride is upset and crying. She refuses to have the wedding if the dog isn’t properly attired.”

I whipped out my sewing basket. “One fixed tux coming right up.”

Amy was putting the finishing touches on the cascade of flowers on the awning, foregrounded against the rolling vineyard hills with a view of the Hudson River beyond. She asked me slyly, “So you’re going to be partnering with Ida’s sex company now, I hear?”

“Uh no. No way.”

Amy tittered. “She has you all over her company Instagram account. You were out drinking with her last night?”

“I don’t see why you’re following her sex toy company.”

“Hey, not all of us have a billionaire at their beck and call.”

“I don’t anymore,” I said, ripping out the seams on the dog vest.

Amy made a shocked noise. “Did he dump you?”

“I dumped him.”

“Why? Memphis Eve is in Boston.”

“Yes. That was the whole plan. I was just leading him on until I could get rid of her. Now she’s gone,” I said, stabbing the fabric with my needle. “So I’m not going to be with Mark anymore.”

“But you like him!” Amy cried. “And if the rumors are correct, he likes you very much.”

I blushed. “Ivy needs to keep her big mouth shut.” I looked back out to the garden. “There’s no way he and I would have worked out. I lied about my sister.”

“I mean it’s not like Memphis Eve is really your sister,” Amy said. “You didn’t grow up together, you legally aren’t sisters. You share DNA—that’s it.”

“It’s still a lie by omission.”

“I’m sure he’d be fine with it,” she told me.
