Chapter 12

Kat turned from setting the oven timer at the knock on the kitchen door in Susie’s bakery. Parker peeked her head in. Kat stiffened and blinked. Parker had ignored her apology texts and wouldn’t return her phone calls.

Now she was here at the bakery?

Parker shot her a lopsided smile. “Hi. Can I come in?”

Kat wiped her hands on her apron. “Of course. Parker—”

She put up a hand. “No, let me start. I…”

Kat felt rooted to her spot. She didn’t know if she was supposed to hug her friend or stand here and take whatever judgment Parker had for her.

“Drew and I made up yesterday.”

“I’m so sorry,” Kat blurted. “I didn’t mean for anything to happen.”

“Well, technically nothing did. And I haven’t said anything to anybody about it.”

Kat let out a shaky breath. “Thank you,” she whispered. “I’ve been feeling so guilty about it and the business to Susie…”

“Well, that’s kind of why I’m here. It’s back on. The wedding and everything.”

“It…it is?”

“Yeah. We both decided to give it another go, as they’d say in the UK.” She grinned from ear to ear. “So if you don’t mind giving another tasting to Drew, that would be great.”

Kat’s brows bushed. She hadn’t expected to ever see Parker again, let alone hear her ask to bake their wedding cake.—a second time. Did Drew say something to convince her to come back? Was it Parker’s idea?

“Okay,” Kat said with a nod. “Um, sure. But you don’t want to taste the cake?”

“I trust him. And I’m not going to have time. I have to catch a plane in a couple of hours. I figured I’d stop here on my way to the airport.”

“A plane? You’re leaving?” Kat started forward. “Where are you going? What about the wedding? It’s not just the cake you need but the flowers and—”

Parker put up both hands and leaned back. “Whoa! Calm down. Everything is under control. I’ll be back in time for it.” She did her best impersonation of a bunny hop. “I got the job!” She grabbed Kat’s hands and squeezed them tight. “I made president of the international division! Senior leadership wants me in London early tomorrow morning to discuss the particulars.”

Kat hugged her friend. “Parker, that’s amazing. It’s what you’ve always wanted.”

Parker laughed and hugged her back. “Yeah, to be president of something and lord it over people.”

Kat leaned back and gave her friend an encouraging smile. “You’ll definitely be good at it.”

Parker wagged her brows. “I certainly hope so. Anyway, it’s a big step for me, and I can’t screw it up. Drew’s a little miffed that I’ll be going out of town, but I think I took care of that.”

“How?”

“I’ve reinstated you as our wedding planner!” Parker looked pleased with herself. “I overreacted yesterday. Sorry. I need you back. Obviously I can’t be here to plan all that stuff.”

Kat didn’t share her enthusiasm. The last time she was alone with Drew, it had almost cost her two friends. And Parker was in town. But now that she was going to be a whole ocean away? Guilt made it difficult to trust herself.
