Chapter Twenty-Eight

Amy picked Lauren up the next morning and when they pulled into the school parking lot, Lauren braced herself for an onslaught of hungry media. But, much to her surprise and relief, there wasn't a single van waiting.

"Maybe they got all they needed on this, or realized that Jack was right and there's no story here," Amy said.

"Thank god," Lauren said as she got out of the car and grabbed her tote bag and coffee. Maybe Jack and David were right and people were smart enough to realize this really was a non-issue.

After school, Amy and Lauren went over to Nellie's to pick up their dresses. Lauren was in a fabulous mood. It seemed like the media insanity might be over and now she could concentrate on the wedding, which was a week and a half away.

Plus, it was snowing again, big fat flakes slowly floating down. The snow had started a few hours ago and was expected to keep on through the night. It didn't look like much of a storm now, but the winds and intensity were supposed to pick up overnight. The kids in her last period class were all excited, and wishing verbally for a snow day tomorrow. Lauren had to admit the idea appealed to her as well. She wouldn't mind a day off to curl up and watch old movies while the snow swirled outside.

When they arrived at Nellie's place, Lauren saw that she had the house decorated for Christmas. Delicate strings of white lights blinked merrily along the many well-groomed hedges, all along the Gingerbread trimming, and around the railing of the farmer's porch. The front door held a shiny silver wreath of jingle bells tied with a shimmery purple ribbon. Lauren recognized the wreath came from the Pottery Barn and she had the same one at home.

The door opened before they had a chance to knock. Nellie had been keeping an eye out for them.

"Come in, come in. This weather is terrible!"

They entered the front hall foyer and per Nellie's instructions took off their shoes and then followed her down the hall to the sewing room.

"Now try these on again real quick. Make sure they both fit the way you like. Lauren, you first." She carefully handed Lauren the wedding dress and held the curtain of the dressing room back so she could enter. Lauren held her breath as she slipped on the dress, hoping that it wouldn't be too tight since that would be hard to fix with so little time before the wedding. But she relaxed as she saw the dress fit perfectly with no tight spots anywhere. She stepped out of the dressing room for Amy and Nellie to see. Nellie took a step back and peered intensely at the dress from every angle, asking Lauren to do a slow turnaround.

"You look beautiful!" Amy said.

"The fit is good," Nellie said and seemed satisfied with her work.

"It's absolutely perfect! Thank you so much." Amy was next and her dress was also a success.
