Page 4 of Nothing to the Wedding

“Talk to Knox?”

“Most every day.”

“Is he nervous?”

Zairn laughed.“He’s a Collier, babe.There’s no such thing as a nervous Collier.”

“Cam’s in town.”

“He come to the club last night?”

“More to see Tripp than me.”

“Disappointed?”

“I hid it well,” she said.“I have errands today.”

“You told me.”

“Errands feel… beyond me.”

“Nothing is beyond you, Roxanna.”

“This kind of thing.Wedding errands.”

“Jane’s made all the big decisions,” he said, “just make the necessary tweaks.You’re doing itforher.”

“Ranks are still closed, right?”

“You, me, Knox, Ballard.”

“And Toria.”

“And Toria.”

“Told Tripp yet?”

“Do you know how hard it is to keep a secret from that guy?”

“Especially when you’re drinking with him every night.You’re strong, Lola.His usual tactics don’t work with you.”

“You hope they don’t work,” she teased with no sincerity.“This is the right thing.We’re doing the right thing.”

“Hey, the rest of us are too busy being astounded you and Knox agree on something.”

“We agree that Beautiful Jane gets whatever she wants.”Arching her back, her feet slipped from the vanity.“This means the world to her.It’s exciting, I can’t wait to see her face.She may just pass straight out, maybe we should push the guests’ arrival an hour.Give her time to rebound.”

“You and Knox have this.I have complete faith in both of you.”

“Says the guy who only has to show up.If you want to that is.Amount of money this thing cost, it’s happening no matter what, just so you know.If you change your mind, don’t cancel, jilting me at the altar is completely fine.I told Bastian we’d put names in a hat and pick some guy at random to take your spot if you don’t show up.”

“Could land on Blayne.”

She shivered.“Don’t even joke about that.And now you know why Roman didn’t get an invite.One way or another, I’ll be getting married that day.”

“Why’d you think we settled on LA, Lo?You love getting arrested over there.”

“Least this time it wouldn’t be on you to bail me out.”
