There should have been some kind of warning, but there wasn’t. One minute I was walking through the hallway to meet with Master K, the next I was attacked—by Aspen.

“It’s about time,” she screeched. “I’ve been waiting all day for you.”

Her four-inch heels made clicking sounds on the marble of the large, formal living area.

“Aspen? What are you doing here?” And why the hell didn’t someone warn me?

“Well, I kept calling and texting you, but you never answer. I decided I’d camp out here. You said there was always an open invitation, so I’ve been staying in one of the guest wings waiting for you to come home,” she chastised. “Penny told me you were busy with business things, but really, you’re my best friend. You’re planning my wedding. Surely you can take a little time to get some of the details together. I mean, it’s less than two weeks away. What could possibly be more important?”

So many things. I could put her off. Tell her that there had been big problems with the computer systems at the clubs, but she was right. She deserved more from me. Well, not really, but I still felt guilty.

“I’m sorry. I’ve been on the road, and I tend to get tied up in business these days. With every club I open, the responsibilities increase, and I guess I’m not balancing things so well.”

She gave me the once-over, taking in my hoodie and jeans. I looked like someone trying to bring back grunge. Then she took my hands in hers. “It does look like you’re running yourself ragged. I know I’m asking a lot, but besides Huff, you’re the person I’m closest to. I know how successful you are, and to be honest, I really admire what you’ve done with your life.”

I wanted to put my hand on her forehead to feel for fever. This was not the Aspen I knew. Maybe she’s possessed.

“Are you feeling okay?”

She smiled, but it wasn’t the fake one she gave the paparazzi cameras. “I know I can be a bit much. Huff has sort of made me realize that it’s not always all about me. Except, this is my wedding, and it kind of is. I just have all these expectations, and I want everything to be perfect. And I feel like”—she bit her lip—“I feel like you don’t really care.”

I’m such a jerk. I actually felt bad. “I promise I do; all this came about at a really tough time for me.” I did a mental check of my schedule and glanced at my watch. “I have a meeting I have to go to right now. Give me an hour, and I’ll be yours for the rest of the day. With the two of us together, we can knock out myriad details. We’ll get everything set. I promise.”

She screeched and then hugged me. “You are the best. I have several chefs on standby. They can be here in an hour to present the food choices, and we have companies with linens, china, and flowers.
