I smoothed my hands over the silky sapphire-blue ball gown, doing a
little twirl in the women’s bathroom. The fabric flared in a circle
around me, swishing softly around my calves when I came to a stop.
“Bethany-Melissa!” Sandra’s eyes were wide, her head bobbing up and
down in approval. “That dress was made for you. It’s stunning.”
I smiled happily at the other woman. “Isn’t it beautiful? Caleb bought it
for me especially for tonight.”

Sandra leaned against the little sofa to the side of the room, her
extravagant dress spread out around her. It stood out beautifully, its brightred vibrant against the black-and-gold luxury bathroom. “He must have
dropped a pretty penny on that one. At least you know he has good taste for
when he buys you an engagement ring.”
I studied my reflection in the mirror. She was right. The dress fit me
perfectly, dipping between my full breasts, hiding the rolls on my tummy,
and flaring out around my wide hips. It accentuated all my curves and hid
the wobble in my thighs. I loved it. I’d gone to the hairdresser’s that
morning and spent hours letting them freshen up my color and then curl the
lengths. A makeup artist had been my next stop, and she’d worked her
magic until I felt like I was Cinderella, ready for a ball.
Which wasn’t exactly where we were, but the charity auction did have
the same sort of feel. A sleek black car had picked me up from my house,
and when we’d arrived at the entrance to the fanciest hotel in Providence,
Caleb had been waiting by the door for me like my very own Prince
Charming.
I watched Sandra in the reflection of the mirror. “You don’t really think
he’s going to propose, do you? It’s only been a year. It feels too soon…”
Sandra tutted, coming to stand beside me so we both stared into the
mirror. “Does it matter? He’s handsome. Successful. Rich. And you’re
downright fabulous in every way—”
I laughed. “Not sure about that.”
She waved around a manicured hand in dismissal. “Of course the man
wants to marry you. Did you see there’s a ring up for auction tonight? It’s
got an absolute boulder for a diamond too. Maybe that’s what Caleb will
bid for.” Her gaze met mine in the mirror. “It’s the smart move, you know?
The two of you, I mean. It would be such a great union for your families.
Your father must be so thrilled the two of you are dating.”
I nodded. “He adores Caleb. They’re playing golf every other weekend
lately. I barely get to see my own boyfriend.”
“Perfect! Leaves you plenty of time for shopping and lunch with me.”
That was true. It did leave me with plenty of time to myself. I’d never
exactly seen that as a good thing, though I liked that my boyfriend and my
father got along. It was just that perhaps they got a long too well. Their
work talk tended to monopolize most conversations, to the point where
anything I wanted to say was lost in business politics.
