CHAPTER SIX

“What color is the dress?” Becca asked, sounding like she was ready to jump out of her skin. She was the best kind of friend to have; sometimes Abby thought Becca was happier for her than she was for herself. Tonight seemed to be one of those occasions.

“It’s red. Boatneck collar, cowled back.”

“Make sure you wear your hair up.” Becca sounded like a kid on Christmas.

“I am. I’m almost finished with it,” Abby told her as she curled a strand of hair around her finger and pinned it to her head. She probably should’ve paid to have someone do her hair for her, but a messy up do always seemed to work for her and tonight was no exception.

“Have you been doing your hair all this time?”

“Yes, thanks to the technological wonder that is speaker phone.”

“Take a selfie and send it to me.”

“Okay,” Abby replied as she brushed back a few stray hairs. She misted a little hairspray on top of her chignon, just to make sure it stayed in place. “Hold on a sec.”

Abby pulled up the camera app on her phone and snapped one picture of herself from the front and one from the back in the reflection of the full-length mirror on the back of the bathroom door, then texted them to Becca.

“I sent a couple,” Abby said, placing the phone on the bathroom counter so she could give herself a once-over in the mirror. Her makeup was perfect, her hair was flattering. There was nothing else to be done but meet Cole. She wondered if she should walk out into the living room or wait for him to knock on her door. It was close to seven already.

“Holy shit!” Becca yelled. “Oh my god, Abby. You look…you just look amazing. Do you get to keep that dress?”

“I don’t know, someone came over with a rack full of dresses and I picked this one out. She left me shoes and jewelry too. She told me it had already been taken care of.”

Becca sighed. “I want to be rich. Seriously, rich people don’t know how good they have it.”

“Hey, do you think I should walk out to meet him or wait until he knocks on my door to see if I’m ready?”

“I’d probably wait until he knocked on my door, so you should do the opposite. Go out there and let him know you’re ready to go.”

Abby took a deep breath an exhaled. “Okay, wish me luck.”

“Call me tomorrow and tell me all about it. First thing.”

“You’re picking me up from the airport tomorrow evening, Beck.”

“Like I said, call me first thing in the morning and tell me all about it.”

Abby laughed. “Okay, I will.”

“Have fun tonight, Abs. You look beautiful.”

After Abby ended the call, she gave herself a once-over before she grabbed her tiny evening bag and gripped the doorknob. She took a deep breath, then pulled open the door.
