Laura

All this constant looking over my shoulder had me on edge, it was exhausting. Almost ten years of doing the same and though the circumstances were entirely different, I was so sick of it. I wanted Stella to make her move, so I could get it over and done with.

“Is Taylor meeting you there?”

“Yes.” I snapped. Lucca had asked me a million times, or so it seemed. See - exhausting.

“Laura…” he admonished, and I instantly felt like a bitch. He was trying his best, none of this was his fault.

“I’m sorry. We’re getting married in two days. I just feel a bit out of sorts is all.”

Stopping at a traffic light, it gave him time to focus his attention on me. “Not cold feet, I hope?”

I’d put doubt in his head. “No,” I sighed, “not like that.”

“Has it been too quick?”

After Stella had finally signed the divorce papers; amicably would you believe, not a week later, Lucca had got down on his knee in the kitchen where we were all eating breakfast and made me cry. He proposed, said he wanted it sooner rather than later. But no, it hadn’t been too quick, not at all. I was simply worried it was all going to go pear shaped, what with a deranged lunatic sitting back and biding her time. Because that was exactly what she was doing, I knew it as plain as the nose on my face. She’d been quiet, and from what Tony had said, she was being a normal woman. Shopping, buying beauty products, lunch with friends. How she had any friends was beyond me.

“No,” I answered honestly.

But everything was up in the air. Sophie was due her baby soon and both her and Ayden were struggling to hold the other up, though he seemed to be faring better then she was. It was all a mess.

“It will be fine,” Lucca soothed. I was so ready to be his wife, I didn’t want him thinking otherwise.

Five minutes later, Lucca pulled the Cayenne to a stop outside the bridal boutique for my last dress fitting. It had been a rush job but the dress I’d chosen hadn’t needed many alterations. The seamstress had done an amazing job, one last fitting and the dress was coming home with me.

Once inside the quaint shop, I relaxed. Two women fussed around me as Lucca hovered by the door.

“I can’t try it on with you here, baby.”

“Just gonna wait until Taylor arrives.”

My phone beeped from my bag and I knew it was my sister. She was always late. Always. Pulling out my phone, I groaned when I read her message.
