Chapter Fourteen

“What exactly is a Maid supposed to do?” Anne asked as we sat squashed in the back of Michelle’s Camry on the way to a fitting. Michelle was the only one of us allowed to keep a car on campus, since the rest of us were freshman.

“We’re supposed to smile and look pretty, and to make sure Allie doesn’t ruin her dress when she uses the bathroom.” Michelle looked at us in the rearview mirror.

Anne nodded. “Got it. We’re like bridesmaids.”

“Except the ball isn’t my wedding.” I fidgeted. Being stuck in the middle seat is never fun.

“Nope, that’s not until this summer.” Hailey turned back to look at us. I could tell she’d been grinning when she made the wedding comment. “I can’t wait to see my dress.” Hailey may have been talking about the outfit, but it was the position she was most excited about.

“Are our dresses going to be like Hailey’s?” Tiffany asked. “Or are they just a little different?”

“Probably similar, but they won’t be quite as fancy.” Michelle turned onto the Laurents’ street. My stomach churned the way it always did when I thought about seeing Robert.

Tiffany put a hand on my shoulder. “Maybe he won’t be home. He isn’t exactly going to be part of the fitting.”

“You’re right. I don’t know why I let him intimidate me so much.”

She smiled. “He’s a supernatural king and your future father-in-law. I think I know why.”

“Maybe it isn’t so crazy…”

Michelle pulled into the drive, and even she looked nervous as she stepped out. I’d insisted Hailey sit in front in hopes that the two would talk, but I don’t think it did any good. They both jumped to walk in at my side. I held back a smile. Like there was any competition. Everyone knew whose side I’d take every time. Still, I was glad Michelle was going to be a maid. I knew it was an important olive branch to extend.

Helen opened the door with a huge grin on her face. “Come in, come in.” She gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek before greeting the rest of the girls. We followed her back into her sewing room.

“Is that Allie’s dress?” Anne’s mouth fell open when she caught sight of my gown. “Oh my gosh, it’s amazing.”

“I’m so glad you think so.” Helen beamed. “Should we do Allie first, or do you girls want to see your dresses?”

“Allie first. I can’t wait.” Hailey grinned. My expression matched hers. I hadn’t had time to think about it much over the past few weeks, but I was definitely excited to try it on again. I still couldn’t believe how little time had passed. Jess hadn’t even missed her first day of class yet because NYU was still on break. Suddenly, I lost all interest in trying it on. I wasn’t supposed to be enjoying things. My head throbbed and I felt dizzy.

“Allie? Are you okay?” Helen asked with concern.

“Yeah, I was just thinking about something.”

“Why don’t you take a seat, sweetie.
