The story they pieced together was no fairy tale. Jenna’s cousin Carla had apparently been calling her, trying to entice her into coming down to Houston. As Jenna’s friends told it, she’d refused, going on about how she had been helping the ex-countess Laslo get a girls’ resource center up and running, and how she was going to learn about all sorts of things. Once she did, not just Houston but the world would be her oyster. Carla had countered with how she was doing just fine without “broadening her horizons”—how else could she afford a new car? In fire-engine red, no less. Still, Lacey learned, Jenna had stood firm—until Carla had dropped a bombshell: her boyfriend had given her a diamond engagement ring for her birthday. Yes, she—Carla Hayes—was getting married! It’s what she and Jenna had dreamed of since they were little girls. As fate would have it, Carla had told Jenna her news in a telephone conversation which had taken place the evening before the little drama with Nicolai had ensued.
