Charlie followed and tossed the Allegra phone back to Emma. “Message done,” he said. “Most of it’s even in English.”

“Thanks.” Emma set the phone down beside her other one. “Listen, Francesca. If you really want to stick around and help—”

“Oh, I do!” Francesca clasped her hands together, making her armful of heavy bangle bracelets clink. Emma wondered if they were real gold. Probably, considering what Paige had told her.

“Okay, cool,” Emma said. “I need to work on some sketches right now. While I’m doing that, maybe you could finish unpacking and sorting the fabrics I just bought for the collection.”

“Hey!” Charlie protested. “I was doing that.”

Emma shot him a surprised look. She’d expected him to be glad to be relieved of fabric-sorting duty, but he actually looked put out. And an annoyed Charlie was an annoying Charlie, as she knew from previous experience.

“I know,” she said, thinking fast. “But, um, I was hoping you could do it together.”

He grinned. Emma thought he looked ridiculous and made a mental note not to leave the two of them along for too long.

“Charlie? Please would you fetch me some water with gas? Or how do you Americans call it? Bubbles? Grazie!” Francesca chirped. “With a hint of fresh lime.” She dumped one of the shopping bags onto the worktable, almost knocking over Emma’s water bottle.

Charlie caught it just in time and set it aside atop a filing cabinet. “Gassy water it is. Em? Chips and soda all right for you?”

“Fine. Thanks.”

Charlie hurried out; Francesca turned her attention to the fabrics, humming under her breath as she started sorting them; and Emma went back to work. The party-dress design frustrated her every time she looked at it. She knew how perfect the original dress she’d designed would look on Rylan. Actually, it would look great on anyone with its totally simple lines and flirty skirt and, mostly, the amazing sash that turned it into different dresses based on how you tied it all up, like a present. With Mrs. Sinclare’s changes? Not so much.
