“Red.”

She looked down at her white shirt and black dress shorts. “Are you sure?”

“Yep. Makes that tiny little waist—I hate you by the way—look all cute and cinched in.”

She ducked back into the closet and pulled out the thin red crocodile belt. She slid it through the loops of her leather shorts. “So I should do the red wedges huh?”

“Tanned legs. Hells yeah.”

Bella waggled her eyebrows and

kicked her black shoes into the closet and stepped into the red. “What about Cole?”

“Oh, yeah right. He opened the shin dig tonight with that foxy chick.”

“Lindsey.”

“Right. Lindsey York. She’s a sweetheart. We had dinner with all of them last night at Valentine’s.” Nic folded her arms. “You were strangely absent.”

“Hair up or down?”

“Changing the subject, B…”

Bella sighed. “I’m not giving you all the details.”

“So, there are details to be had? How many times have you got it on with the super sexy stud millionaire dude?”

“Do I ask the details between you and Adam?”

She curled a lock of her thick hair around her finger. “No. But I’d tell you. Like this one time, he pushed me right up against the mysteries bookcase in the back. Wow, we—”

“Oh, I so don’t need to know.” And now that’s all she’d see in her head. Not cool. She twisted her hair up, then let it fall to her shoulders. It was going to be a crazy hot at the concert.

“Hair up, by the way.”

Bella nodded and gathered it up with a clip. She messed with her bangs a little and turned around. “Okay. How’s this?”

Nic held up a finger and went over to Bella’s jewelry box. She came back with a long silver chain with a red glass pendant and a chunky silver ring. “Now you’re done. And I expect details at eleven.”

Bella pressed her lips together. “I plan on being naked around eleven.”

Nic burst out laughing. “Oh, this dude is good for you. Now, let’s go watch some music so I can indirectly get all worked up and attack my husband later.”

“Stop putting naked images of you and Adam in my head.”

She hooked her arm through hers. “You’re the perv that keeps getting the images. It’s not my fault.”

They laughed their way down the stairs and wandered up Main Street. It wasn’t worth trying to drive up to the barn. Not with the streets clogged thanks to the festival. The main stage had a band from the city playing and the grass was overflowing into the street with people. Kids were running around in packs and tethered to parents.

All in all, it looked to be a success. Sharon had been riding her ass for days, and she was pretty sure the mayor’s favorite number was Bella’s cell. But in the end, it had been worth it.

Cam spotted her from the sound booth and waved her down.

“Hey. Are you on your way to the barn?”

She nodded. “I’m going up with Nic to check out the show.” She’d missed the chance to go up during rehearsals thanks to a Sharon meltdown about ice. They were going through it much faster than they’d planned. The humidity just wasn’t cooperating.

“Good. Sharon is up there. Keep her please. I’m gonna kill her.”
