I turn, happy with the reflection in the mirror. Knowing Cadence’s love of couture, I wasn’t sure what us lowly bridesmaids would end up with. But this dress is pure Paige. The cranberry color makes my blue eyes bluer and my light hair pop. I lift and position my bust beneath the sweetheart neckline. Once I get a good strapless bra, I’ll be good to go. I can’t wait for Alex to see it.The thought of him brings a naughty smile to my lips. Four nights of amazing sex has left me glowing like a Christmas tree on fire. Paige noticed immediately and I had to come up with an excuse on the spot. I’m not confident she bought my story about catering a big, expensive wedding next month, but it bought me some time. Alex and I agreed that Cadence should be the first to know of his decision not to go through with the marriage. He’s dreading the conversation. I’m trying to feel bad for Cadence but she’s making it really hard. When she told the seamstress to leave room in the skirt for my wide hips, I wanted to sew her mouth shut.“Charlotte, are you ever coming out of there?”Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard.
