erection. “You’re probably right.”
Chapter 8
Julie couldn’t hide her excitement as they walked along the busy sidewalk of downtown New York City. “We couldn’t have planned a better day to shop! The weather’s perfect!”
Charity tried to see the blue sky against the towering buildings. “I’m sure the guys are loving it for golfing.”
Julie checked her phone. “I downloaded the walking GPS app and it’s showing the Off the Rack shop just a few blocks up. Do you know what kind of dress you want?”
“Something without a lot of lace. Either strapless or just thin spaghetti style straps. Maybe empire waist? I might need a shawl or jacket since New Zealand is going to be winter. It’s warmer than here in winter, but just in case it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
Julie nodded. “I’ve been checking out dresses online like crazy between surgeries.” She made a face when Charity raised her eyebrows at her. “What? I’m excited!”
Charity slung her arm through Julie’s. “I know you are. That’s why I want you there and here shopping with me today. I always imagined this big extravagant wedding when I was a kid. Like yours and Simons. Now that I’m older, I can’t imagine a big hoopla.”
“Simon and I have been married six years. If I had the choice, I’d go your way now. I think it’s very romantic.”
“I’m learning Elijah is quite the romantic.”
“He’s a good guy. I’m so glad you guys met.”
“Me, too.”
“Here’s the shop!” Julie pointed across the road to an elegant looking older building. There were large windows with mannequins displaying wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses and even a mannequin scene with a bride and groom kissing. A sales person stood inside that window undressing the bride. “Poor bride. Looks like someone wants to try her dress on.”
Charity hit the crosswalk button and the two of them waited for the little screen across the road to stop showing a hand and switch to the green man letting them know it was safe to walk. “I’m not jaywalking. Last time I was here I actually saw someone get a ticket for doing that!”
As they walked inside, a small bell chimed. The sales girl in the window smiled at them. “Every bride deserves the perfect wedding dress. If you need help with anything, please let one of us know.” She nodded to the left. “Just let one of the girls know when you need a fitting room.”
“Thanks.” Julie pulled Charity toward a large rack filled with silky white dresses. She began flipping through them. “You’re a six, right?”
Charity nodded.
Another sales girl walked by. “We have a seamstress at the store if you need it done in a rush.” She reached over a checkout counter and grabbed a marker shaped like a strawberry. “What’s your name, sweetie? I’ll get a room started for you.”
Sweetie? The girl looked ten years younger than Charity.
“Her name is Charity,” Julie said. “She’s getting married in two weeks.”
“Two weeks? My, you are cutting it close.” The girl glanced down at Charity’s stomach but didn’t say anything.
Julie broke into giggles.
“She’s not the first person to think that.” Charity started looking at the dresses.
The sales girl/consultant came back and handed her a cute, but rather large, bride-to-be sticker. “My name is Kylie.”
“I’m Charity.”
“It’s nice to meet you, Charity. Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding. Do you have any idea of what kind of dress you are looking for?”
“I’m not sure. I was thinking empire waist. Strapless or maybe thinner straps.”
“She’s getting married down in New Zealand,” Julie added. She pulled out a dress and held it up to Charity. “What do you think of this one?” It was empire waist, with rhinestones or something sparkly around the top.
“Maybe?” Charity had no idea.
Kylie took the dress and hung it over her arm. “Why don’t you try on a few
