that she didn’t want him as much. It would at least be fun to try, she thought with a smile.
    Sophie had breakfast and began the onerous task of dusting the twelve-thousand-square-foot home. It took her all morning to do the ground floor. The upper ones weren’t as big, thank goodness, and she tackled them after lunch. She was nearly finished with the last guest bedroom when the phone rang. Sophie looked at the display and saw the name of the dress shop where they had purchased her gown.
    “Hello?” she said.
    “Ms. LaPlante?” said the woman on the other end.
    “Yes.”
    “We have your dress hemmed and ready to go,” she said. “Would you like to come and pick that up today?”
    Sophie glanced at her watch. “How late are you open?”
    “Until six o’clock.”
    She had time, so she told the woman she would be there and hung up. After she finished cleaning the bathroom in the master suite, she looked longingly at the Jacuzzi. Maybe this evening. She grabbed her purse and keys, hoped she set the alarm correctly, and headed to the mall. She had taken the new bra along with her so she could see how it worked with the dress and Sophie was amazed at how good she looked.
    “The dress is perfect,” she told the saleslady after she changed. “I’ll need to get my hair done, but I’m new in town and don’t know where to go.”
    “There’s a great place at the South Hedon Falls Mall,” she said. “And they don’t charge a fortune, either.”
    Sophie got directions from the woman, thanked her again, and headed over to the other mall. It was small, and more like a strip mall, but there were a number of businesses there. Sophie spotted the salon beside the aquarium store and pulled into a parking spot nearby. When she entered, a handsome man with stylish clothes and gorgeous hair greeted her.
    “Hi there, sweetie,” he said, with a faint hint of a lisp that made Sophie smile. “What can we do for you?”
    “I need to get my hair done for an event on the first of December,” she said. “Do you have anything available?”
    “Ooo, is it for the gallery opening?” he asked as he began flipping through the appointment book on the desk.
    “I think so,” she replied. “I kind of forgot the details.”
    “I bet that’s what it is,” he said excitedly. “Isn’t it fabulous that we’re going to finally have a place to showcase local talent?”
    “I guess,” Sophie said. “I’m new to the area and I don’t really know anyone. But I like art.”
    “Well, my name is Remy, hon, so now you know me!”
    Sophie couldn’t help but smile. “Hi, Remy. I’m Sophie.”
    “A beautiful name for a beautiful girl!” he gushed. “Sophie, I can do you myself at two o’clock on the first.” He waggled his eyebrows suggestively.
    That made Sophie laugh out loud. The man was acting extremely gay, though she hated to judge based on stereotypes. But it put her at ease with the outrageous flirting. “Sure, Remy. You can do me then.”
    “Fabulous!” he said as he made a note in the book. “How do you want me to do you?”
    “An updo,” Sophie replied with a giggle. “Something elegant.”
    Remy made another note and then wrote the information on an appointment card for her. “There you go, sweetie. I’ll see you in a couple of weeks!”
    Sophie thanked him and left. Out of curiosity, she decided to look in the aquarium store. She was amazed at the huge variety of fish she saw in tanks around the outer walls. She was even more impressed with the huge tank in the center of the store with an eel of some sort. She stood watching it for a few minutes.
    “Can I help you?” a voice behind her asked.
    Sophie turned to see a beautiful man standing behind her. A quick glance at his name tag told her that his name was Liam. “I’m just looking around,” she told him. “I’m new to the area.”
    He smiled. “Then welcome to Hedon Falls. I’m Liam Dalton, one of the store owners. Please let me know if you need
