CHAPTER 13

On the day of the wedding, Jennifer primped like she hadn’t done in years. The straightening, then curling, of her wavy hair brought back memories of prom night years ago. Prom night, when her father had interrogated her date, and she did not use that term lightly. Prom night, when her aunt chose the dress Jennifer would wear. Not the one she’d wanted because the yellow gown was “far too bright.”

“You’ll look like the sun. Do you want to look like Big Bird? A tall girl needs to wear more subdued colors so as not to appear even larger. You should look delicate. Like the petal of a flower. Think pink pastels and blues.”

No, thanks!

Petal of a flower? She was far more like the stem.

That’s probably why Jennifer went a little “girls gone wild” at university. But after that one unfortunate kegger, she kept her boldness and adventure confined to her clothes. It was nothing unusual to see her wearing cut-off overalls, and she rarely wore anything but yellow, orange, and red. “Here comes Jennifer! You can’t miss her,” her friends said. One fellow student had affectionately called her a walking stop sign. She’d gotten it out of her system that first year, but it had been her choice.

Aunt Betty probably wouldn’t approve of the floor-length royal-blue gown she’d be wearing today, either, but at least it wasn’t yellow.

Today, she wanted to impress, for Colton’s sake more than her own. This was her part in their ruse. He’d taken such good care of her, even feeding her fantastic meals when that wasn’t part of the deal. The least she could do is look drop-dead gorgeous. She’d never looked drop-dead gorgeous in her life but there was always a first time. Hope sprang eternal. After all, she’d been gifted with all the proper, um, equipment. Generous-sized breasts and long legs.

The gown was tight around the bodice and flared out a little, somewhat camouflaging her wide hips. She was sensitive about her rather ample behind, even if a former boyfriend had said she had a butt like the famous Jennifer. This Jennifer would have preferred to be model-thin and svelte. She had the height, but no amount of dieting or exercise made her butt any smaller. It would probably require surgery and she wasn’t willing to go that far.

All the dieting made her rear end appear even more pronounced when the rest of her was too thin. So, back to potato chips she went, so the rest of her would match her behind. Oh well.

First world problems.

Today she’d watch two of her favorite new people vow their love for each other, followed by a huge party at the ranch thrown by a Hollywood production company. Who knew? Maybe she’d even make some contacts and find a way to revitalize her photography career. Colton made a good point. It could be a backup plan, because truth be told, she didn’t miss the podcast like she’d thought she would.

Last night, she’d chatted with Mallory for over an hour before bed.
