But she’d already moved on to our shirts, assigning us identical ones to wear. She swiped on cherry-red, pregnancy-safe lipstick, spinning to face us. “Well? How do I look?”
Honestly, like a jilted runaway bride.
But also… “Adorable.”
After the four of us finished dressing, we charged down the stairs two-by-two, arms looped at the elbows.
From the kitchen island, Oliver dropped his spoon at the sight of us. He threw his head back and howled, not bothering to comment.
Romeo frowned, tugging the edge of Dallas’ dress. “Where are you going?”
She stood on her tiptoes for a forehead kiss. “The club.”
“Inthat?”
While Dallas wore a mini wedding dress and veil, Hettie, Frankie, and I donned bright tutus with hot-pink tank tops that read:
I’M WITH THE BRIDE.
Dallas smoothed down her shirt. “What’s wrong with our clothes?”
“Doesn’t seem appropriate.”
“It’s just Costco. Wait.” She cocked her head. “Did you think I meant a nightclub?”
“No one refers to Costco when they say club.”
She whipped out her executive card and flashed it at him as proof. “I have a membership, therefore it’s a club.”
As always, Romeo succumbed to his wife’s shenanigans, arranging for his driver to take us. A pang of envy zapped through me. I wanted what Dallas and Romeo shared.
Would I get my happily ever after? The possibility that the thirty days would end and Zach would stand me up licked at the fringes of my brain the entire car ride.
That was the thing about giving someone your heart. There was always a chance you’d never be whole again.
At Costco, we sampled every cart, then went around for seconds, thirds, and fourths until security kicked us out.
Dallas was right.
Nothing cured depression like a trip to the club.
Maybe Iwasa little down.
After all, I carried the key inside my bra, right above my heart.
The organ that would shatter the second I used it.
T-MINUS 23 DAYS.
