She scowls, "I can’t accept all of this."
"You will."
"I don’t want it." She all but stamps her foot.
Aww, how cute."You do want it," I murmur. "You just don’t know it."
"What will I do with so much fabric?" A line appears between her eyebrows. "It’s more than I have bought in my entire life."
"Good," I bare my teeth, "you can use it to stitch your wedding gown."
"No." She shakes her head, "No, no, no."
"Yes." I allow my grin to widen, "You can and you will."
"I will not."
"Is that right?"
She folds her arms across her chest, "I refuse to participate in this sham of a wedding that you keep threatening me with. I refuse to give in and act all helpless."
"Pity, you’d make a great damsel in distress."
"But you are no knight in shining armor."
"I am glad you recognize that." I bend my knees, peer into her face, "You will do as I say."
"And if I don’t?"
I glare into those bright green eyes. Eyes I can lose myself in, eyes that are angry and frustrated, and yet, so filled with life that they take my breath away. "If you don’t, I will—"
The phone in my pocket buzzes. She glances down at my pocket just as I whip her phone out, stare at the message. "If you don’t, I won’t let you see the message that your sister sent you."
"My sister?" She cries, "Summer? That’s a message from Summer?" She stretches out her hand for the phone and I hold it up and out of her reach.
"Give it to me," she huffs.
"First, agree that you will stitch your wedding dress."
"No."
"Then you won’t see this message from your sister."
She hesitates and I glance at the screen. "Don’t you want to find out how she is doing? How her husband is treating her after the wedding? Where they are going for their honeymoon—"
"Bastard," she snarls.
I arch an eyebrow, "Now, you are definitely not going to see her message."
I swipe the screen and she frowns.
"Hold on. My phone is profile protected. How the hell did you unlock it?"
I lower my chin, "Really, that’s all you are concerned about? How I hacked your phone?"
"Jerk." She sets her jaw, "Guess you got someone to get around the security."
I tilt my head, and her color deepens. "Show me the message."
