It was going to take more than a magic spell to get her through this ceremony in one piece. Where were all the leprechauns and elves with their magic when you needed them the most? She still had a few minutes left to back out of the deal. But for the past hour, Elizabeth had not been far from her side, and had been keeping a firm hand on her shoulder. Annie couldn’t bear to see the older woman be disappointed. Nick’s mother had been so kind, helping her choose this princess-style dress from a store in St. Thomas. It wasn’t all that fancy, made out of a sheer cotton and not cut from silk or satin. But it was long, down to her ankles, and was the most gorgeous swirling shades of amethyst and evergreen Annie had ever seen. She felt like a real storybook heroine in this dress. And not at all like a woman who was about to be sentenced to live a long, dreary life without love. Running away was out of the question. Annie had to keep reminding herself that she was still on an island with nowhere to run.
