“Sweets!” I hissed into the phone.

“Linda?”

“Yes!” The paranoia was strong in my voice.

“What’s wrong?”

My mind spun. “The whole thing got messed up!”

“Oh no, what happened?”

I swallowed as I paced the length of the empty lady’s room. “First of all, they both made their own toasts before I could even get mine out—at which point they both drank from their glasses!” I gushed. “Then I said my toast and before I’d even put the paper away, Mark drank my wine.”

I heard Sweets suck in her breath. “He drank your wine?”

Even though she couldn’t see me, I nodded. “Yeah, but it was an accident. His was right next to mine, he just grabbed the wrong glass. So I was going to finish his glass, but before I could, he drank the rest and ordered us more wine!”

“So you’re saying you did the toast and didn’t drink any of the wine?”

“Yes!”

“But the men drank it all?”

“Yes!”

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

“Sweets?” I was panicking now.

“Yesss,” she said slowly.

“What’s going to happen now?”

Sweets blew out her breath, making a crackling sound in the phone. “Well, one of two things is likely to happen.”

“Okay?”

“One, nothing will happen. The spell won’t work. In which case, you can try for a do-over by pouring them more wine and see if doing the toast over again works.”

“Oh-kaaay?” I said slowly, wondering how I was possibly going to speak that ridiculous toast again without feeling like an idiot. “Or?”

“Orrr,” she purred. “Or it might have worked after all.”

With the phone pressed to my ear, I shook my head wildly. “No, no, no. It didn’t work. I don’t feel any different. I still can’t pick.”

“I didn’t mean it worked on you. I meant it might have worked on them.”

A second ticked by as those words sank into my brain. “So you mean one of them will fall out of love with me and the right one will stay in love with me?”

“Not exactly…”

“Okay? Then exactly what, Sweets? I’m panicking here!”

Sweets didn’t say anything.

“Sweets!” I hissed. “Tell me! Exactly what could happen?”

I heard her gulp. “It’s possible they could fall in love with each other.”

My eyes widened and I had to clap a hand over my own mouth to keep from screaming. What?! “Sweets. You can’t be serious! Why didn’t you tell me that could happen?!”

“How was I supposed to know that you couldn’t pull off a little toast with three glasses of wine!”

“Uh!” I breathed. “It wasn’t my fault they came in ready to drink!”

“Calm down, Linda. Like I said, it’s highly possible that nothing will happen. The love potion will just roll off their shoulders like water off a duck’s back, and the spell will be ignored.”

“Or I could go back out there and the two men that I love could be madly in love with each other?” I hissed into the phone.

“Or—that could happen,” agreed Sweets. “Listen, Linda. I have to go. Corey’s here now. We’re headed to the dance. If things go badly, bring both men to the dance, and I’ll see if we can’t figure something out.
