“Polly?”
“Hmm?”
“Who do you want to have at our wedding?”
She turned her head. “You. Maybe Loki.”
He chuckled. “I have to involve a lot of work contacts. Accountants, lawyers, and general managers of the hotels. Family. Distant family. That sort of thing.”
She sighed. “I don’t have family to invite. They all came out on Molly’s side of things. My friends are all work-related.”
“I will be there for you.”
She smiled and stroked his knee. “Good. You are the one that should be there.”
He ran his hand through her hair and found something strange near her temple. “What is this?”
She turned and looked at the pale coating on his fingertips. “Oh, makeup. The makeup artists had some spare time, so they tried a few designs on me.”
“Did anyone get photos?”
She paused and nodded. “I did.”
He stroked her cheek. She laughed and said, “Really, the thought of me in makeup gets you turned on?”
He frowned. “What?”
“Your hands. Your nails elongate when you start having frisky thoughts.” She sat up and got her phone from the arm of the couch. “So, you want to see these?”
He nodded. She thumbed her phone open and brought up her gallery. She handed him the phone with the finished look on it. He thumbed through the preceding photos, then blinked. “What’s this?”
“Oh, one of the kimonos being used for the shoot. I thought it was pretty, so I took a picture.”
“You like this style?”
“It was very striking, on loan from someone’s private collection.”
“It is a charming piece. I am glad it is being seen. Art like that deserves to be seen.” He smiled.
“I agree. All of the kimonos on display today were lovely, and it’s good that they are being included in the campaign. The artists who make them need recognition, and it needs to be revived as a viable art form.”
He was surprised. “You are interested in the methods and artisans?”
“Absolutely. If you want any kind of custom work for me, you will have to order it soon.”
He chuckled. “Already done. I made the arrangements before I flew back.” He sighed. “But I have to go back and finalize some family business.”
She blinked. “Oh, right.”
He was particularly delighted when he saw the disappointment in her expression. “I will be back in two weeks.”
She sighed. “Right.”
“Will you come to my place tonight?”
She looked at him and shook her head. “I have an early start tomorrow.”
“How early?”
