Her eyes widen. Which answers my earlier question. She’d been oblivious to our relationship dynamics.

“The three of us will need to be included.”

“Ahm…” She clears her throat. “You understand there are legalities?—”

“We do,” Link interrupts.

“I’m sure we can work something out.” After typing into her pad, she nods. “Reverend Clara is available to meet with you in the morning. I’ll…ah…explain the situation.”

“See that you do.”

“Will ten o’clock be suitable?”

Link looks at me, and I nod my ascent.

“That’ll be fine.”

“Followed by a rehearsal? Say ten thirty, just to give us a little time buffer?”

Again, he agrees.

“Both appointments will be at the Sky Chapel. Do you need a text or email reminder?”

“We’ll be fine.”

Pax types notes into his watch.

“Thank you.” Link stands and offers his hand. “Darling?”

Darling?Is this an act for the planner?

If so, it’s not needed.

Link and Pax thank the woman for her time, and she shakes hands with all of us.

She smiles at me. “I look forward to seeing you all in the morning.”

When we leave the event planning area, Torin and Mira fall in step with us as usual.

Pax checks his watch. “We should have just enough time to make it.”

And I’d rather go sit by the pool than go to another boutique.

But my protests don’t mean much.

We leave the resort by the back entrance, the same way we arrived yesterday.

A sleek, black limousine is waiting for us, driven by the same Hawkeye team that picked us up from the airport.

Torin and Mira flank us as we make our way to the vehicle. And when we reach Lumière Bridal Atelier, Mira once again accompanies us inside.

The owner, Eloise St. Clair, greets us personally and welcomes us to her Parisian-inspired shop.

The store is larger than I expected, and an enormous chandelier dominates the space. Mirrors are everywhere, refracting the light in magical, dancing prisms.

Mannequins are stylishly dressed in every kind of gown imaginable, most in white or ivory.

There are racks with several different selections on each and mirrored glass cases with jewelry and headpieces and belts.
