during the video conference had made it clear he wasn’t talking about guarding her, but something a whole lot more permanent.
While Joel could admit to himself that he was seriously attracted to the fairy-like woman who radiated soothing energy, years ago he’d decided long-term relationships, let alone marriage, were not in the cards for him—especially not for a sweet-souled pacifist like Sage. She deserved someone who could give her all of himself. He’d never be that man.
Her meeting ended and Joel realized he’d been staring at her for the past several minutes. He needed to get back to work, which included making the rounds. He would stop at her office to check on things, and feel her smile light up his soul, then he could focus on the other work he needed to accomplish that day.
Sage looked up and saw Cami come into the house, arms laden with shopping bags and a huge smile on her face. “Have fun?” Cami had taken the day off to go into Denver and start delving into wedding plans.
“The most fun! I found a fabulous dress, and the shoes—you have no idea how hard it was for me to settle on a pair of shoes. There were so many tempting options.” Cami dumped her load on the dining table, untangling herself from the bags.
“Did you buy three pair, then?” Sage smiled, amused at her sisters’ love affair with footwear. Sage liked a nice pair of heels herself—when the occasion was right—but much preferred the comfortable walking shoes she wore for work.
“Not this time. I stopped at two, but one is to go with the wedding dress—they hardly count. In retrospect, I showed amazing self-control in Nordstrom’s, don’t you think?”
“Hold on,” Lana said, racing up the stairs. “Did I hear talk of wedding shoes? And a dress?” She set her hands on her slim hips and looked at the pile of bags Cami set on the floor by the sofa. “Where?”
Cami chuckled. “The dress is being altered, but I have pictures. The shoes are in this pile. I’ll show them to you if you’ll go grab the rest of the stuff in the car.” She watched Lana’s red hair flip in an arc as she hurried toward the garage.
Jonquil appeared at the top of the stairs. “I thought this was just a reconnaissance trip?”
“It was supposed to be, but I stopped at this shop and they had this dress. Wait until you see it—it fits like it was made for me.” Cami’s blue eyes glowed and she wore a perma-grin.
Lana returned with a few more shopping bags. “All right, dig out those shoes.”
“And finding a dress deserves a toast, don’t you think?” Rosemary asked, wandering up from her room in the walk-out basement. “Only it’ll have to be orange juice because I think we’re out of champagne.”
“Works for me,” Sage said and moved to help Rosemary with the drinks.
There was much oohing and ahhing as they looked at the purchases and Cami showed off pictures of the dress. She stacked half a dozen wedding magazines on the table. “Vince wants to push the wedding up to next month— next month . Seriously.”
Delphi came up the basement stairs with a large carry-on. They’d called her up earlier but she said she was busy. “Is the man insane? It’s already the fifteenth.”
“I know. I told him I’d compromise with a date in mid-December, which gives us three months. What does the schedule look like for the conference rooms?” Cami asked. “And where are you going?”
Delphi set down her bag and pulled out her Galaxy phone, scrolling through a few things. “The ballroom is open on December sixteenth, that’s a Friday, but it’ll take a miracle to pull that off in such a short time period.” She did not look pleased—and since she would essentially be wedding planner on the hotel end, it did mean a lot of extra work for her.
“If there’s anything we’re capable of,” Lana said, “it’s miracles. We pulled off an awesome opening gala, didn’t we? Cami can check with Vince on the date and get back to
