Chapter 13

“What do you think of Allie’s dress, dearest?” Mags sauntered into the office.

Trevor glanced up from the computer screen. “Sorry?”

Mags held a dress by the hanger. “Allie’s dress? For the wedding?”

“She’s wearing white? I thought that was the bride’s prerogative. Look, I’m very busy. I don’t have time for this right now.”

She held the dress in front of her and examined it. “I’m tired of white. I’m wearing red this time. Plus, Allie looks stunning in it.”

“Mmm hmm.” Trevor dismissed her and the wedding from his mind and returned to the stock analysis.

“Although, I think Allie would make a lovely bride.”

There was always the risk in buying a stock on its way down. Most likely it would go lower still, but Trevor always trusted his gut and his gut told him to buy.

“I want to be a grandmother.”

He bought a few hundred shares, sat back, and smiled. He didn’t care for gambling in the casinos that much, but he loved gambling in the market. It was a rush to prove the experts wrong.

“How many do you think you’ll have?” she asked.

What was she on about? Oh yes, Allie’s dress. “What does Allie think?”

Mags glided into a chair. “How would I know, darling?”

“Well, didn’t you have her try it on?”

With her head tilted to one side, Mags smiled. “You haven’t been listening to a word I’ve said, have you? Just like your father.”

He pierced her with a look. “I’m nothing like him.”

“Oh, darling, why can’t you forgive him?”

“I don’t wish to discuss this. As I’ve said, I’m busy.” He clicked his mouse, shifted to another monitor, and looked at the cost projections for a design team that wanted to borrow money. Didn’t seem like a good fit.

“He’s made mistakes. But he’s sorry. Do make up with him.”

“He married Anna. I’m not likely to forgive that any time soon.”

Mags flicked her fingers. “I’m not thrilled with his choice either, but you and Anna had broken up.”

“Yes, that was kind of him to wait. Would have been damned awkward if she and I had still been fucking.”

She took a deep breath, her lip pursed. “He’s changed, Trevor darling. I promise.”

Trevor assumed a neutral expression. “I don’t really care one way or the other. When are the two of you leaving, by the way?”

He picked up his phone and texted Allie, wondering how the talk had gone with her father. Probably a disaster—much like the conversation he was having right now. Parents were nothing but a pain in the ass.

“Not until after the wedding.”

“Mother please, we both know there’s not going to be a wedding. Go back to England or, better yet, Italy. You’ve not had an Italian yet, and you do love the warm weather.” He picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee.

“I think you and Allie should have a Christmas wedding.
