her at first, but instead I saw Angel staring and smiling. When I followed her gaze, I saw Scarlett walking straight towards her wearing a simple white blouse with a bit of lace peeking out over the top and a black skirt. She was wearing tennis shoes but carrying a pair of low heels and a stylish purse.
She walked straight to Angel and kissed her briefly then turned to Elisabeth. "Better?"
"Yes," Elisabeth said.
I sidled under Lara's arm, kissed her cheek, and said, "There's going to be another wedding in a year or two."
"No," she told me quietly. "They'll both finish college first. I already talked to them. But other than timing, I think you're right."
We took the limo.
"We need a designated driver," Elisabeth said.
"The girls are too young to drink," I pointed out.
"Not today they aren't," Lara said.
Karen drove them limo, but Lara asked Eric and Rory to take a second SUV.
"For the record," I said, once we set out. "I am not trying on dresses in front of the guys."
I earned chuckles and assurances they would be stuck outside the shop and probably bored silly.
"They won't be bored," Karen said. "We undoubtedly won't be the only people shopping today, and there's going to be some single bridesmaid hitting on them, or some mother of the bride trying to hook them up with some daughter or niece."
I laughed. "Oh my god," I said. "Someone get video of that!"
"I won't have video," Karen said. "But I put a bug in both their pockets. We'll have audio. I'm recording it."
"Are you serious?" I asked.
She fished her phone out of her suit pocket and handed it back to us. "Elisabeth," she said. "Eric is 71. Rory is 89." Lara took the phone and handed it to Elisabeth. Elisabeth punched buttons on the phone, and then we heard Eric's voice.
"She's just so hot," he was saying.
"I know," Rory agreed. "If you mess up with her, I'm next in line."
"Oh my god!" said Angel. "Whom are they talking about?"
"Shhhh!" I said.
"Turn it off," Lara said. Elisabeth immediately silenced the phone. There was a round of complaints. "I know," she said. "And I would have loved to hear the rest of that conversation myself, but think about how all of you would feel if it were you. Worse, there's the distinct possibility they're talking about someone currently in the car, and I don't think this is how she should find out both of them are interested in her."
I looked back and forth between Karen and Elisabeth and realized they were both amazing catches.
"Don't look at me!" said Elisabeth. "I'm taken."
I stared at her. "Who?" I demanded.
"My job."
"Enforcer!" Lara said.
"Alpha?"
"If you are asked out on a date by someone you find attractive, You. Will. Go."
Everyone in the car laughed, everyone except Elisabeth.
"Lara."
"You heard the alpha," I told her sweetly.
"Yes, Alpha," she said meekly. But she was glaring at her sister. "Little Fox, I can't wait to see you in some frilly dress."
I immediately went into air head mode. "Me, either! It will be, I mean, just so super! And you're going to look lovely in the bridesmaid dresses I pick out, with a big bow right over your butt."
The car grew immediately silent. Elisabeth stared at me. "You. Wouldn't. Dare."
I smiled sweetly at her.
"Alpha, will you be wearing a tux?" Elisabeth asked.
"Yes," Lara said.
"Then I believe I will also be wearing a tux," Elisabeth said.
I immediately said, "Lara, I will cheerfully wear any dress you pick as long as I get to pick the bridesmaid's dresses."
"Elisabeth, you'll be wearing whatever Michaela picks for you."
I smiled sweetly at Elisabeth. "Let's see," I said. "There's the time you helped stuff me into a cage. And there's the times you wouldn't let me go outside just because I had a silly concussion. And there's the time you helped Lara trick me into that wager about fighting her instead of Eric or Rory. And there are all those times you licked me knowing how much I hate being licked." Elisabeth's expression filled with horror. "Big. Ass. Bow."
She walked straight to Angel and kissed her briefly then turned to Elisabeth. "Better?"
"Yes," Elisabeth said.
I sidled under Lara's arm, kissed her cheek, and said, "There's going to be another wedding in a year or two."
