about making small movements and keeping her smile relaxed, if not real.
The six weeks of buildup to the unveiling of the InStyle living room she’d designed to benefit the Boys and Girls Club of America had been intense and unrelenting. After Maisy’s PR firm had discovered they much preferred working with Jillian instead of their demanding client, she’d been put front and center on the project.
She’d shot a web feature on putting the room together for the magazine’s site, had been asked to contribute to their decorating issue, and her new agent was negotiating the final details of her decorating advice column as a regular feature both on the site and in the magazine.
Jillian knew that her name was getting passed around some very exclusive living rooms, but her first official clients would be designing a nursery for the newly-pregnant Trudy and helping Ethan give Alimente some personality to match the delicious food.
From the corner of her eye, Jillian saw Maisy start her walk down the red carpet. Jillian gave the photographers one last smile and quickly made her way to where Ethan was waiting for her. He held out his hand to take hers, his fingers brushing over the 3-carat Ashoka-cut diamond engagement ring he’d slipped on her finger a week before.

“This is crazy, but it’s good crazy.” Jillian leaned into Ethan’s solid, steady frame, grateful he was there along with Ives, Trudy and Valerie. “I still can’t wait to get home, crawl into bed and…”
“And?” Ethan asked as he wrapped his arms around her.
Jillian looked up at him as her own arms entwined themselves around him with no intention of ever letting go.
“And flip on my very own rare best reading lamp,” she answered with a teasing smile.
