Penny was sitting in her kitchen the next morning, enjoying a cup of coffee and a book when she heard her cell phone ring. “Huh?” Who would call her at this time? She scrambled for her purse, which she had tossed onto the couch last night. “Hello?”

“Penny, it’s me.”

Ben. Oh God, did he change his mind about her? “Hey, there,” she said, trying to sound casual. “Did you need to reschedule or something?”

“No, we’re still on for tonight. Unless you need—”

“No! Er, I mean, I’m good.”

“Good. Now, I called you because … well, don’t hate me, but I kind of did something.”

Penny sank down on the couch and twisted a curl of her hair in her fingers. “What do you mean?”

“Well, remember last night when you said you didn’t have anything to wear to a wedding?”

“Yeah?”

“And you wouldn’t let me buy you a dress?”

“Uh-huh?”

“Well, I got someone to help.”

“Who?” Before Ben could answer, an insistent knock made her jump up. “Hold on.” She put the phone away from her ear and bounded to the door. When she looked in the peephole, she frowned in confusion. It was Kate Caldwell, Nathan’s sister. She’d met Kate twice before, once when she served them at Catherine’s bachelorette party and the second time was when she walked up to Christina at the cafe. But what was she doing here?

“Kate?”

“Penny, my girl!” Kate breezed into her living room the moment she cracked the door open.

Another figure was right behind Kate. “Hey, Penny!” Sybil Lennox greeted as she followed behind Kate. Sybil was Matthew and Jason’s sister, and Ben’s cousin. “How are you?”

“Good. It’s nice to see you, but what are you guys doing here? How did you know where I live?”

“Ben sent us!” Kate said cheerfully as she plopped herself down on the couch.

“What?”

“You’re on the phone with him, right?” Kate nodded to her hand.

“Oh. Right.” She put her phone up to her ear. “Ben?”

“Are they there?”

“Kate and Sybil?”

“Yeah.”

“They are. But I don’t understand.”

“Well, you know how you didn’t have anything to wear to the wedding?”

“Uh-huh?”

“I told you, they’re there to help.”

“I said I didn’t want you to pay for a dress!” she exclaimed.

“I’m not.”

“He’s not,” Kate piped in. She stood up and grabbed the phone from Penny. “Ben, we’ll take care of this, okay … Yeah, yeah, don’t worry about it. She’s in good hands. Now stop moping. Bye.” She rolled her eyes and passed the phone back to Penny. “Get dressed, Penny, my girl! We’re going out!”

“But—”

“Go!” Kate shooed her, pushing her toward the bedroom.

Penny wanted to protest more, but she had a feeling it would do no good. She grabbed some clothes from her closet and quickly dressed.

“Where are we going?” Penny asked later as they sat in Sybil’s car. They were driving in the direction of Blackstone. “I told Ben not to buy me a dress.”

“He’s not,” Sybil said.

Penny slumped back and crossed her arms over her chest. “You guys are not buying me one either.”

“We aren’t.” Kate looked back at her from the front passenger seat.
