Britt was struggling with the zipper of her gown when Jon knocked on her door just after five. Hoping to avoid flashing her friend, she held the dress in place with one hand and opened the door with the other. A tuxedo-clad Jon walked hastily into her apartment.

“He has the flu. Can you believe that? He has the flu!”

Britt closed the door. “You look great! Who has the flu?”

“Liam.”

“I don’t know who that is.”

“My date for the premiere.”

“Oh.” It was sometimes hard to keep up with Jon and his parade of boyfriends. “I’m sorry to hear that.”

“Home with a 103-degree fever. I blame you.”

“Me?”

“Yes, you and your maybe I’ll get lucky and catch the flu voodoo. It worked! It just worked on my date instead of you.”

“Trust me when I say I wish I could take his place.”

“You can. You’re now officially my date.” Jon stopped complaining and finally noticed his best friend. “You look gorgeous, by the way.”

She should. She’d just spent the last three hours being poked and pampered by the studio’s glam squad. But the long red dress was pretty, and they’d managed to do something with her boring brown hair. Even the shoes weren’t too uncomfortable. The zipper, however, was being a pain in the ass.

Britt turned around. “Thanks. Zip me?”

Jon reached for the zipper and gave it a tug.

“It’s stuck.”

“No kidding. Do something, please.”

“What do you want me to do? Where’s your stylist?”

“I threw her out. Three hours was long enough.”

“Three hours and she couldn’t zip you up?”

“She did zip me up. It keeps . . . unzipping . . . and my dress keeps falling.” Britt exhaled a noisy, frustrated sigh. “Please try. And what do you mean I’m your date? What if I already have one?”

“You don’t.”

“How do you know?”

“Because if you did, he’d be here zipping you up.”

It took some work—and a lot of cursing—but Jon finally got the zipper to cooperate. Flustered, tired, and already sick of this night, Britt turned around to face her friend, fully prepared to tell him that he was just going to have to find another date because there was no way she was going to this premiere.

Then he whistled.

“Seriously, Britt. You look hot.”

Her face flushed. “Really?”

“Absolutely. It’s really too bad I like boys.” Jon smiled and offered her his arm. “The studio sent a car. It’s downstairs. You look exceptionally beautiful, I’m devastatingly handsome, and we’re going to have an amazing night. Are you ready?”

His excitement was infectious. They did look great, and who knows? Maybe tonight wouldn’t be so bad after all.

Britt took a deep breath and linked her arm with his.

“I’m ready.”
