asked Jonas to take her shopping in Santa Fe, and he actually said yes.”
All the joy went out of Seton’s day. “Surely he’s not falling for Wendy!”
Sam shrugged. “It’s too soon for that, I think, but Sabrina better get here and stake her claim if she’s going to.”
Seton shook her head. Five days from now, she’d be married, at least temporarily. And Sabrina’s news would be all over town.
“I hope this is what you want,” Seton said to Sam, and he winked at her and departed as her office phone rang.
Suddenly, she felt a little nervous.
Surely this wedding was the right thing to do.
A T THE M AGIC W EDDING Dress shop, Seton chose a knee-length ivory suit for herself and a deep emerald suit for Sabrina. The color would be perfect for her sister’s hair and skin tone, the green refreshing and springlike. The shorter style of Seton’s ivory wedding suit was modern. There was no need for long and lacy. She’d been married before, and though she’d never worn the magic wedding dress, she didn’t believe in magic.
Even though she knew every other bride who wore it did become big believers in the tale.
“I have to be practical,” Seton told Darla and Jackie as they checked her suit for fit. “I’m too old for fairy tales.”
“But the gown was your mother’s.” Darla, who was married to Judah Callahan, looked at her in the mirror. “This suit is lovely, it fits you like a glove, but we’ve all worn the gown. Trust me, Seton. You want to, too.”
“I don’t think so.” Seton looked at herself with satisfaction. “This is a very practical choice.”
“Who wants practical on their wedding day?” Jackie asked. She was married to Pete Callahan, and they seemed happier all the time.
“This is exactly what I want. And Sabrina will be here tomorrow to have hers fitted.” That was going to be more of a challenge, and the secret would be out. But there was no hope for it. Seton sighed. “I have an appointment in Santa Fe. Do you mind choosing all the appropriate accessories for me? Shoes, stockings, maybe even some small bouquets?” she asked hopefully.
“No problem,” Darla said, and Jackie chimed in, “We do it all the time.”
“What kind of appointment do you have, Seton?” Darla asked, opening a bridal magazine and looking at the latest fashions. “How about a bouquet like this?”
“Fine.” Seton barely glanced at the page. “Thanks, girls.” She went into the dressing room and changed, tossing the suit into Jackie’s hands as she dashed out. “You’re lifesavers, both of you. I couldn’t do this without you. See you tomorrow for Sabrina’s fitting!”
She ran out the door.
Jackie looked at Darla. “She’s in a hurry.”
Darla laughed. “We would be, too, if we were getting married in two days.” She hung up the suit in a plastic bag. “I wonder where Seton’s going?”
“Maybe a hair appointment.” Jackie looked over the off-white pumps they had in stock, her lips pursed. “Does it seem like this is sort of a fast-food wedding?”
Darla glanced up. “What do you mean?”
“I don’t know,” Jackie said. “Just fast. Like hold the pickles and the mayo, extra cheese, please.”
“Oh. Because she’s having us pick everything out.” Darla shrugged. “Seton’s got a lot to do.”
“Yeah.” Jackie looked at the plain suit with some concern. “Not very romantic, though.”
“The romance probably comes later.”
“I guess so.” Jackie couldn’t put her finger on what exactly was bothering her. But this was Diablo, and if Seton was keeping secrets about her and Sam’s wedding, they wouldn’t be kept long.
T HREE HOURS LATER , Seton sat in a doctor’s office in Santa Fe, looking at a young go-getter of a doctor who was probably fresh out of med school and not married long. But she’d looked up his credentials, and he was supposed to be excellent for her situation.
