Madeline walked over to the mirror and studied herself She’d already redone her makeup and her hair was up in hot rollers In five er comb her hair, then spray it into submission

Taryn nodded “It’s a good one I have several shoe options, but I think I knoill work” She pulled out a box and opened the top Inside was a pair of high-heeled pu kind of silver

Madeline looked closer and saw the shoes were covered with crystals

“Christian Louboutin The crystals are hand-set Swarovski”

“Of course they are,” Madeline murmured “Just tell me this Are they worth more than a thousand dollars?”

Taryn rolled her eyes “All I hear is a buzzing sound Take them, Madeline They’ll look fantastic with the dress”

Madeline tucked her hands behind her back “No way”

Taryn’s brows drew together “They’re just shoes You’re old and Ted Take the shoes”

Taryn could be stern and deterenerous with her friends Madeline picked up the ridiculously high heels and sat down before slipping them on her feet

They were stunning “I’m not sure I can stand,” Madeline admitted “But I don’t know if I care”

“Exactly Just sit and look beautiful” Taryn eyed her “You know, the sapphires are going to be too matchy-matchy Let’s do diamonds”

She dug through her tote and pulled out a couple of Tiffany boxes Inside one was a pair of simple diamond studs In the other was a diamond pendant necklace

Shelby took the necklace and fastened it around her neck “Just hope that at ht this doesn’t turn into a pumpkin, because that could hurt”

Taryn held out the earrings “I insist Come on You know you want to”

“You have to” Tears started down Isabel’s cheeks

Madeline hurried to her side “What’s wrong?”
