It was only the display dress but it was an absolute perfect fit.”
“And you bought it didn't you? Oh, that's not crazy, Tanya, that's amazing.”
But Tanya had not smiled, neither did she looked up.
“What is it, Tanya?” Jeannie could feel the solemnity of the situation and stopped flapping with excitement. “You have to tell me.”
“The thing is I got a really strange feeling as I stood there. I mean one second I was overjoyed about finding a dress and I was about to call all you girls up and tell you, the next second I went cold and felt so weird like you wouldn't believe.”
“But, I don't understand it, Tanya.”
“I just felt as though by trying on the dress, I changed my fate somehow.”
“That's not possible. You know all about Fate. Fate is Fate. That's the point. It's coming to you anyway. You can't change it.”
“Can't you?” Tanya began walking again. “Look, we haven't found you an outfit yet. I'm sorry.”
“Wait!” Jeannie pulled her to a stop. “You can't make sweeping statements like that and carry on shopping. Forget my outfit. What the hell is wrong Tanya?”
“I'm not sure, but I think I just blew it with Kurtis.”
“He's not even here.”
“He called me. Asked me a question about James.”
“James?”
“Yes, just out of the blue. Asked if I'd met up with him in an apartment.”
“I said yes. And that was the truth.”
“What the hell, Tanya. Why go meeting that jerk? I told you to stay clear.”
“That's just it. I was staying clear. You remember how Kurtis and I first got together. I didn't call him and he got me up to his apartment by pretending to be a client needing a personal shopper?”
“Yes, pretty cheeky, but it worked.”
“Well, guess who else had the same bright idea?”
“No,” Jeannie drew the word out.
“Yes, and I fell for it. It was his mother's apartment, or so he said and that was the day he started all those lies about the picture of Catherine.”
“That slimy, evil, bastard. But you told Kurtis all of this.”
“Not everything. Stupidly, I told Kurtis I only just ran into James. It was a little white lie because I know how much he hates him. Thought it would soften the blow, so to speak. Only now it's backfired and he thinks I lied to him. He's so angry with me he won't even pick up my calls.”
“Oh, Tanya. I'm so sorry. Kurtis can be so stubborn. But I'm sure he'll come around.”
“I hope so. We're meeting for breakfast tomorrow. It was supposed to be a chance to set a date for the wedding. But, like I said, I think I've messed with Fate and I don't know how he'll be or if he'll even show up for our date.”
Jeannie put a long elegant arm around Tanya. “He loves you. He'll be there. Just let him fume for while, work it out of his system. No matter what, he won't stand you up. He'll be there and then you can work this out with him.”
“I hope so.”
The girls continued to walk along 5th Avenue. Just then they passed a bridal shop. Tanya turned to Jeannie with a sad look on her face.
“Don't worry so much,” Jeannie said with a wide smile. “Kurtis adores you. You'll see him tomorrow for sure. But for now, let's think Rafaelo's and why don't you get yourself a new outfit too? My treat.”
Tanya managed a half smile. She wasn't looking forward to her girls, night out. What she thought she was facing the following day, like it was her last chance with Kurtis.

Kurtis landed in New York's JFK and caught a taxi straight to his office. His secretary had some papers for him to sign and then he would go back to his apartment and drink himself stupid. He was weary of all the traveling he was doing. Secretly, he had been planning to work less so he could spend more time with Tanya. He’d thought that they could travel around the world together. She had talked about it as being one of her ambitions and he looked forward to sharing that experience with her. But that dream might be coming to an end.
