Kelsey parked in front of the dress shop a little while later and headed in to find her sister Brynn was talking to one of the eave a little wave Brynn excused herself and hurried over to Kelsey, giving her a big hug "I’lad you made it And God, it feels like I haven’t seen you in forever You’re so tan"

Kelsey laughed "Being on an island vacation will do that to a girl"

Brynn tilted her head in a way that said she saw right through Kelsey’s s, a lot of sex, a bit of a broken heart, but I’m still in one sober piece, so there’s that"

"A, honey" She gave her another squeeze "I’m sorry"

Kelsey waved her sympathy away "We’re not here to boo-hoo about me I’m here for the fun stuff Get me in this dress that’s stolen your heart"

Brynn clapped her hands together with glee "I think you’re going to love it It’s a fifties vintage"

"Sweet, I’m already sold I love fifties style" Kelsey followed Brynn to the dressing area with a grin, her sister’s enthusiasious

Brynn reached into one of the unoccupied rooht out the dress

"Oh, er froorgeous, strapless, and ruby red The fitted bodice gave it a sexy flirtiness, but the skirt of gathered tulle layers was pure vintage perfection It was exactly the type of dress she would’ve picked for herself "I want to o on a liquid diet before the wedding"

Brynn laughed "I don’t think that’ll be necessary But let’s try it on"

They went into the dressing roo everything into the right place and adjusting as needed Finally, Brynn looked her up and down and nodded "Turn around"

Kelsey spun around and stared at her reflection in the mirror Her boobs were pluht place, and the tulle skirt hit her right past her knee She did a little twirl "It fits!"

Brynn pressed a hand to her chest like a proud ood, right? This is the one?" Kelsey asked, turning to her and rocking on the balls of her feet

Brynn bit her lip "Would youfor a fewdeether"

Kelsey stared at her, aed, a little sheepish "I’m a perfectionist"

Half an hour later, Kelsey’s hair was in an intricate up-do and herout the blue in her eyes and the angle of her cheekbones but not looking overdone Kelsey stood on the center platform between a trio of mirrors "So, noe have a winner, bride-to-be?"

"I’d say so," said a familiar voice

Kelsey spun around so fast, she alht off her heels

He grasped his hands behind hiive you a bit of norot"

She stepped down from the platform, her heart like a bass drum in her ears "I don’t understand"

He walked over to her withto run away if he moved too fast But he never took his eyes off hers He stopped an ar froo to proaze dropped to the clear box in his hand and the delicate red and white corsage contained within "Proe, and took her hand "Just say yes, love"

He gave her the full wattage of his se over her wrist "Thank you I even have the white horse this ti if she’d actually fallen asleep in the dressing roo so flashback "This isn’t my dress We can’t walk out--"
