On cue, tires crunched in the distance. Finn swung and saw the girls’ white van pulling up to the ticket booth. The engine shuddered and went quiet.
Jewel was the first to jump out. Finn watched her intently, noticing the way she turned back around to help the bride.
Sky was a vision in white. The satin contrasted her light brown skin and dark eyes. Her hair had been coiffed into an up-do with tendrils that fell to her naked shoulders.
Joon Gi was a lucky man.
But, after that initial sweep, his eyes glided to Jewel and stayed there.
She was by far the most stunning girl he’d ever seen.
Slim, black brows arched delicately over alluring brown eyes. Dark as melted chocolate and tipped with long, fluttering lashes. Lips too luscious for any man’s sanity. Her high cheekbones appeared to have been sculpted out of stone. Her hair was long and black, teased to tight spirals. Her dark brown skin absorbed sunlight and shot it back into the air.
Gorgeous.
Jewel’s eyes slid over to him. She caught him watching and her lips tightened.
He smiled.
Annoyance flared in her gaze. He got the sense she didn’t like it when he stared at her. Finn wondered how he was supposed to do anything else.
Jewel was a beautiful woman, even when she tried to disguise it in sweats and baggy jeans. But she was even more jaw-dropping today in that blue dress that hugged every curve.
“Finn!” Sky dashed toward him. Benson’s girlfriend, Carrie, ran behind, scrambling to keep her extravagant train out of the dirt.
“Hey.” He nodded to the ticket booth. “Your groom’s already in place.”
“I hope everything goes smoothly.” Sky wrung her hands.
Sun Gi tipped his head at the nervous bride. “You look beautiful, Sky.”
“Stunning.” Benson agreed.
Finn nodded in solidarity.
“Thank you, guys.” Sky fluttered her glove-covered hands. “Butterflies are rushing in my stomach, but I’m excited.”
“Then let’s get this over with,” a woman with almond-shaped eyes and smooth brown skin announced. “Remember, no linking of arms.”
“Why not?” Sun Gi asked, adjusting his collar.
Sky, Carrie and Jo whipped their heads around, looking at everything but Jewel.
Sky cleared her throat. “We’ve decided it’ll look better than way.”
“Whatever you want.” Benson shrugged.
Finn fixed his eyes on Jewel and strode forward. She stared at the ground. He imagined she was fighting the urge to run away, but he didn’t let her cower.
Not linking arms was ridiculous. Besides, this was a perfect opportunity to break through those walls and get her to trust him.
Finn reached out to her. “All you have to do is put your palm on mine.”
Sky sucked in a breath.
The fiery, dark-skinned woman he’d met in the foyer planted both hands on her hips. “Hey! What are you doing?”
Finn ignored everyone else and spoke for Jewel’s ears only. “There’s fight in you. I can see it.” Finn heard her sharp inhale and pressed. “I won’t do anything more than hold your hand.” He raised his fingers higher. “May I have the honor?”
