Chapter Eleven

Holly stared out of the window as they took off from the little airport at Summer Lake. She couldn't quite believe that for the fourth time in less than a week, she was flying around in a private jet. She looked across at Emma and Missy sitting opposite her.

“So, ladies, are you ready to shop?”

Missy grinned. “Ready, willing, and able!”

“Oh yes,” said Emma. “Look out San Francisco, here we come!”

“Where are we meeting Laura?” asked Holly.

“The car is picking her up first and bringing her to the airport,” said Emma.

“This is just so Pete,” laughed Missy.

“I know,” Emma smiled. “He and Jack went back and forth so much about a wedding gift they drove me nuts. They are so competitive. Jack didn't want Pete doing anything he could do himself. Since Pete is my brother in all but blood and my parents are gone, he wanted to foot all the costs that the parents of the bride normally would. Of course Gramps wouldn't hear of it. Jack was pissed and I wasn't being heard above all the testosterone!”

Holly and Missy laughed.

“Then Pete came up with this, he'd take care of all the dresses and of course he has to fly us to San Francisco and lay on a car and driver.”

Holly smiled to herself. It really was such a very 'Pete' thing to do. She loved that she was part of it, but knew that, for her, this life would soon be over. With Emma living up at the lake now she'd be seeing much less of her friend too, as well as saying goodbye to Pete.

Missy looked over at her. “Are you going tell us what's going on between you two?”

Holly shook her head. “We're just having fun, I doubt it will last after the wedding.”

Missy wrinkled her nose. “I cry bullshit!”

Emma laughed. “Right there with you Miss. Have you seen them together?”

“I haven't seen them apart!” cried Missy. “They're inseparable. I thought you and Jack were bad with all the face sucking goodbyes, but Pete is even worse. The big macho man with his 'See you later, Sweetheart' and wrapping himself around her, the temperature goes up about a zillion degrees whenever they get within three feet of each other. The man is smitten I tell you, smitten!”

Holly couldn't help but smile, she wished he really was smitten. It was a nice fairy tale, for now, but that was all.

“And you,” added Missy, “You're totally besotted with the man, so why won't you both admit it?”

Holly didn't want to hide it from her friends. “Listen guys, be gentle with me, please? Yes, you're right, I admit I am rather taken with him, but I'm trying very, very hard not to be.”

“But WHY?” cried Emma. “You're so good together, what's the problem?”

“The problem, Sweetie, is that Pete has a plan. Surely as two of his best friends you know this?”

Missy's face grew serious. “Of course he does, Pete always has a plan. Oh, sweet baby Jesus. The plan
