“Get in here.” She was sobbing on her bed.
“What happened?” I asked, laying my dress down on the chaise lounge.
“He said I was too clingy.” She let out a wet sigh.
“What?”
“That’s what I said.” She shook her head and fell back on her pillows. “It’s so ridiculous, the whole thing.”
“Men. They seriously need to come with a manual,” I said, making her laugh before lying down next to her. “You know, your eyes are going to look puffy from all this crying.”
“I know,” she grumbled. “I can’t believe he did this today of all days. Why not wait until tomorrow?”
“There is no schedule when it comes to being a douchebag,” I replied.
“Lauren,” she moaned.
“What? Sorry, I have no high opinion of any man right now,” I stated then rolled onto my back.
“Well, with the way Mason treated you, I can understand why.” She rolled on her side.
“We need some cucumber so we can get rid of those puffy eyes,” I suggested.
“I’ll go cut some up.” She said, cheerfully.
“Shoot!” I gasped, realizing that I had forgotten to bring my make-up bag.
Cassie gasped dramatically. “What?”
“I was in such a hurry I forgot all my make-up.” I sighed.
“That’s okay. I have a make-up artist coming here at seven,” she said shrugging.
“I can’t—”
“Oh, shut up,” she said with a roll of her eyes, sauntering out of the room. I got up from the bed and walked around her room looking at the stuff she had collected over the past few years while traveling.
When she returned, she placed the freshly cut cucumber on the vanity table, then turned to face me. “Mom said dinner will be ready in half an hour and you are welcome to join us.”
“Thanks,” I replied. It was still too early to get dressed, giving Cassie and me time to catch up. I figured what better time to ask about all her little trinkets and everywhere she has traveled.
After dinner the doorbell rang, and the butler announced that the stylist had arrived. Mrs. Harper nodded, telling him where we would be getting ready.
“Girls , you go ahead first,” Mrs. Harper said, standing in the doorway of the parlour.
“Good. We need more time to get ready anyway,” Cassie snickered, walking in. “Devon, hi.” She smiled, walking over and hugging him.
“Cassie darling, you are always a treat to dress up.” He smiled and then gasped looking over at me. “Who is this beauty?”
“This is my girlfriend, Lauren,” Cassie answered.
“Wow, those eyes of yours are incredible.” He leaned in closer.
“Really, I’ve always found them to be so . . . boring.”
“Grey tends to do that, but with my magic your eyes will sparkle, putting any lucky man in a trance.” He smirked and I blushed.
“Where is the dress?” he asked, glancing at Cassie.
