“Harmony Kingsley and Elder Bragg. Welcome to your wedding reception,” Sage says and everyone cheers. “Let’s show them our t-shirts girls. Three. Two. One.”
The five women whip open their cardigans to reveal bright pink t-shirts with the wordsI Do Gossip Gal Crewwritten in gold on them. They’re adorable. I clap with everyone else.
“Now, it’s time for wedding karaoke,” Sage says.
I really hoped the t-shirts was the reason they summoned us to the stage. I should be so lucky. “There’s no such a thing as wedding karaoke.”
“There is now.”
Elder doesn’t have any qualms about singing in front of the whole town while sober. He climbs onto the stage while dragging me behind him.
“What song shall we sing?” Music starts up. “I guess we don’t get a choice.”
And he doesn’t seem to care. “What song is this?”
He grins. “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.”
“Am I Elton John or Kiki Dee?”
“You’re wearing a dress.”
“So, I’m Elton. Awesome.”
“Neither one of you can sing. They should let someone who can carry a tune sing,” Love Hill shouts and I groan.
Love Hill is the mean girl of Winter Falls. If she’s not stealing someone’s boyfriend, she’s making nasty comments.
“And, afterwards, I can show Elder a good time since everyone knows Harmony is out of practice.”
Told you she’s a mean girl.
“Who invited the mean girl to the party?”
I step forward – intent on giving Love Hill a piece of my mind – but Elder grabs hold of me to stop me. He nods toward his brother. “Damon will handle this.”
Damon marches toward Love Hill. She licks her lips as he approaches her. I almost feel sorry for him. He has no idea the type of predator Love Hill is. He places a hand on her lower back and herds her out of the bar.
“Your brother is in trouble. She’s a maneater.”
“Maneater! Let’s sing that song instead.”
“You’re such a goofball.”
“I thought we agreed. I’m an adorable goofball.”
I giggle. The sound surprises me. I didn’t expect to laugh at my fake wedding reception. I glance over at Elder. And I certainly didn’t expect to find my fake husband sexy in his suit. He throws off the jacket and rolls up his sleeves before loosening his tie.
Oh boy. If I thought he was sexy in his suit before, I was wrong. This look is even sexier.
I tug at the neckline of my dress. It’s entirely too hot in here all of a sudden and I know exactly why. I’m looking at the reason.

I saw a cop pull over a moving van. He must be trying to bust a move. ~ Text from Elder to Brody

“You need to give me a key,” I tell Harmony when she opens her door for me the next morning.
