“Close your eyes,” the hairstylist told Gwen before giving her updo one last good spray. The thick perfume of the hairspray filled the room, and I coughed. Mom entered the room, nearly bumping into Kieran, who was busy taking pictures of her and Becca in their lavender bridesmaids’ dresses. “Everything’s ready downstairs,” Mom announced. “How’s it going up here?” Gwen let out a little moan. “Oh, it’s all right, honey.” Mom went to her and reassuringly rubbed her back. “Is my train too long?” Gwen sighed, looking on the verge of tears. Mom shook her head. “Oh, Gwen, it’s a little too late to worry about that.” “It’s perfect,” Becca said. Kieran chimed in. “Yeah, you look beautiful Gwen.” I stepped into the upstairs hall to get away from the hairspray that still filled the guest bedroom. My hip bumped into something, and I set my hand down to steady the little side table. My fingertips brushed against something softer than wood though. It was Peter’s book.
