Blushing, she put her hands against her face. “I’m not the only one.”
They were halfway to his car, but Blake stopped and kissed her, right there in the middle of the street for all to see. In an hour’s time the whole town would probably know that one, she and Blake was engaged; two, she was pregnant; and three, Gavin was back.
But she couldn’t be happier. And maybe now that he knew a baby was on the way, Blake might just want to talk about wedding plans.
CHAPTER 20
Charlie clapped herhands. “This is the one, don’t you agree, Eleanor? Brooke? What do you think?”
Lindsay stared at herself in the mirror. It was a beautiful dress in champagne-colored lace enhanced by layers of misty tulle and organza, which added texture to the A-line silhouette. Beaded spaghetti straps balanced the sweetheart neckline of the semi-sheer bodice while more lace cascaded down the entire length of the soft skirt. It was perfect, and Blake would love the lace.
And if she’d known when she’d be getting married, she’d buy the dress in a heartbeat, but for some or other reason her fiancé refused to talk about wedding plans. Every time she mentioned it, he mumbled something about a surprise but she had yet to discover what the surprise was.
The last few days had been crazy. Her days were busy in the shop and she’d looked forward to spending time with Blake in the evenings, but each night he’d told her he had things to do. She’d hardly seen him. She had enough to keep her busy and she could hardly keep up with mixing enough creams for her shop, but she missed him.
“Oh, it’s perfect.” Brooke sighed.
“I love it,” Eleanor said, her eyes full of tears.
“What do you think, Linds?” Charlie wanted to know.
Lindsay turned away from the mirror and tried to open the row of tiny buttons at her back. “It’s a lovely dress, but I have no idea when we’re getting married. How did we end up in a bridal shop anyway? I thought we were Christmas shopping?”
“We are, but we happened to see this bridal shop, and seeing that we have a bride-to-be with us, it makes sense to try on wedding dresses.” Charlie smiled.
“I still can’t believe you talked me into joining you today to go Christmas shopping in Bozeman.” Lindsay smiled, trying to get out of the dress. “It’s three days before Christmas and it’s the busiest time of year in the shop.”
“There’s always time for fun,” Eleanor said.
Charlie helped her with the dress. “And now it’s time for lunch, what do you all say?”
“Yes, please.” Lindsay grinned. “Baby seems to be always hungry.”
Charlie patted her own tummy. “Tell me about it.”
Outside, Charlie motioned to a coffee shop across the street. “I think I’m going to get that pair of shoes I saw earlier. Get a table for us; I’ll be right there.”
