anything else.
When we returned, later than planned, but about when I anticipated, Sin surprised me with a gift. “These are for you,” she said, holding a box for me.
“Aw, you shouldn’t have,” I commented absently as I reached for the present. Then I popped the lid off and realized it was a pair of black cowboy boots. “Now you really shouldn’t have. You know I’m more of a flip-flop girl. I even have fancy flops for occasions such as this.”
“Well, occasions such as this demand those boots,” she explained. “We may have to stand places that would put us at risk for snake bites. Unless you want to spend the beginning of your vacation in the hospital recuperating, then you might want to reconsider your stance on cowboy boots.” She pointed to her feet. “I’ll be wearing mine too. Trust me, you’ll love them.”
“I may trust you in many areas, but my footwear isn’t one of them,” I complained. Still, her reasoning was sound and I hadn’t planned on dying this vacation.
We met in the foyer about thirty minutes later and Sin looked amazing. At the moment, I was feeling incredibly self-conscious. The dress was way more than I was used to, a soft gray with crisscrossed layers over the bodice and a series of gauzy waterfall of gauzy fabric in the skirt. At least it was ornate enough that I didn’t require jewelry. As soon as I hit the foyer, I was rubbing my hands down the front of the dress.
“Stop it,” she ordered. “You look amazing. Simply gorgeous.”
It wasn’t that I felt compelled to compliment her, I had to. Sin was stunning, as usual. “Are you sure you just had those babies five days ago?” I asked. “I swear you look amazing. I hope I bounce back like that.”
“I have a long way to go, but the Spanks are helping me along the way.” She winked as she reached for the door handle. “You ready to do this thang?”
“Nodding,” I mourned, “I hate weddings.”
“You loved mine!” She reminded me.
“Yes, but that was different.”
“Well, Mac will be here.” She teased. “Maybe that will change your opinion on weddings.”
“Doubt it,” I muttered. I could feel the heat rising in my face, so I turned away and pretended to busy myself with collecting her camera bags.
An hour later I was finally able to admit to myself that the wedding truly was beautiful. As cynical as I was, even I could admit that they seemed happy and in love. During the ceremony, I caught Mac looking at me a few times. It was so unnerving, especially since I was supposed to be Sin’s assistant. The longer the festivities went, the more concerned I grew. She was looking incredibly tired.
“Why did you agree to do this? Even if the twins hadn’t come early, you would have been thirty-five weeks pregnant with two babies while running around like this. You are crazy. Go pump.” I had learned how to boss Sin around long ago. Hell, I had learned to boss her around and she liked it.
“You got this?” she asked while passing me the camera, a relieved look on her face.
“Pshaw! Of course I do.” Confidently, I took the camera and started to point and click as proof.
Shaking her head, she teased. “Thank goodness for digital cameras. If I had to develop all of these first…” She shuddered.
“Please, I’m awesome. They won’t be able to tell the difference,” I joked. We both knew that wasn’t true. I’d be lucky to get some decent shots, mostly passable at best. Sin had an eye. She could capture magical moments.
After snapping random shots of guests around the room during the reception, I felt a tap on my shoulder. Turning around, I had pasted my best smile on my face. “Oh, it’s you,” I said, face falling when I saw Mac staring at me.
“What’s that mean?” he asked.
Shrugging, I tried to explain. “Aw, you know, when you think it’s someone important and you turn around and…it’s not.” I realized that sounded terrible and far worse than I meant, so I
