When I was silent, she looked at me with pity. “Oh, Kat.”
“I know,” I groaned.
“I wish we could talk about this more, but your first client will be here any minute, and you still have to set up the room.”
“I know. Thank you for being there for me.” I stood.
Sarah came around the table and pulled me into her arms. “Any time. And I mean that. If you need someone to talk to about this, you can come to me. No judgment.”
“Thanks.”
She left me to finish getting ready. I was about to put my phone in my locker when it vibrated. I quickly checked it, and my stomach dropped.
Mindy:My house tonight after you finish work. We’re going to plan your wedding.
I chewed on my thumbnail and contemplated what to say back.
Mindy:You can’t hide forever.
Me:I’m not hiding, but I’m not ready.
Mindy:That’s why you have us.
Me:Fine.
I tossed my phone into my locker.
“Kat, your client is here,” Sarah said.
“Thank you,” I said and closed my locker. I’d have to worry about everything later.
“WHAT ARE YOUR WEDDING COLORS?” Kate asked.
She had a giant binder in her lap and a pen poised over the page it was open to. Books with colors, venues, dresses, flowers, and more were strewn all over the large table in Mindy’s sunroom. It was overwhelming.
“I haven’t thought about it,” I said.
“We should probably talk about the date first. That will help with colors,” Laney said as she bounced Isaac. She was trying to get him to sleep.
Mindy came into the room and handed me Ava. “I agree. But whatever you do, please stay away from blush or peach.”
Kate slammed her hands down on her binder. “I’m never going to live that down, am I?”
I’d heard all about the infamous blush bridesmaid dresses from Mindy. First when she was planning her wedding and then during Laney’s. It seemed to come up with every wedding. Mindy had been traumatized, and rightfully so. I’d seen pictures. She looked horrible.
“No. You’re not,” Mindy said matter-of-factly and then left the room again.
“I swear to God, she drives me insane. She could have said that she hated them when she was trying them on,” Kate said.
“I heard that,” Mindy yelled.
Laney and I laughed.
“Anyway, when’s the date?” Kate asked. She lifted her pen, ready to jot it down.
I started to sweat. “I…I’m not sure.”
“What?” Kate asked. “Have you and Sid not talked about it?”
