or not, he wasn’t the man for her. Not that she was looking for a relationship with anyone. Not much, anyway.
    She bent down and lifted a guinea pig out of its pen. “So far, it’s been a great day. I don’t think we’ll be taking many animals back to the shelter this afternoon.”
    “Pastor Steven is thinking about adopting the black cat with half an ear.”
    “Pirate?”
    Todd smiled and Sally held her breath. He was utterly gorgeous and he didn’t know it.
    The smile slipped off his face. “Is everything okay?”
    Sally shook the cobwebs out of her brain and cleared her throat. “Did the teenager decide to take Motley home?”
    Todd nodded. “Motley is no longer homeless. I don’t know who was more relieved - Motley or me.”
    Sally passed the guinea pig in her arms to a little boy tugging on her shirt. She smiled at his parents and nearly missed the redhead walking quickly toward her. She tried to remember where she’d seen her face before, then realized she was one of the brides they’d helped. Her name was Carol or Carolyn. Sally couldn’t remember when she was getting married, but it couldn’t be far away.
    “Thank goodness I’ve found you,” the soon-to-be-bride said. “Tess said to come and see you. I’m Carolyn. The Bridesmaids Club gave us our dresses.”
    Sally smiled. “I remember. Your two sisters and a friend are your bridesmaids. You must be getting married soon?”
    “That’s why I’m here. Tess thought you might have an idea about what we could do.”
    Sally saw tears gathering in Carolyn’s eyes. “What’s happened?”
    “There was a big fire in the Emerson Center last night. Wayne and I were supposed to get married there in three weeks’ time. Everything else in town is booked and we can’t find another venue.”
    Todd touched Sally’s arm. “I’ve got to go back to the puppy area. I’ll see you later.”
    Carolyn looked up at Todd and frowned. “I’m sorry. I was so caught up in finding Sally that I didn’t realize I was…”
    “It doesn’t matter,” Todd reassured her. “I can see Sally anytime. I hope you find somewhere to hold your wedding.” He glanced at Sally, then walked away.
    “Wow,” Carolyn said. “He seems like a nice person.”
    Sally kept her eyes on Todd’s back as he wove through the crowd. “He is nice.” She took a deep breath and refocused her brain. “Tell me about your wedding.”
    Sally listened to what Carolyn had to say. Halfway through their conversation, she grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and started making notes. Carolyn was desperate. They’d already tried to contact all of the venues Sally thought of. The ones that had answered their phones were fully booked. She had a feeling that Carolyn wouldn’t have much luck with the other venues either.
    By the time Carolyn had finished, Sally knew what she had to do. “I need to call an emergency meeting of The Bridesmaids Club. Molly has been taking photos all over Bozeman and Annie knows the places that have catering options available. I’ll try and get everyone together tonight and give you a call when we’re finished. How does that sound?”
    “It sounds wonderful. Thank you.” Carolyn hugged Sally tight. “Let me know if you need any more information.”
    “I will. Now go and enjoy the pet adoption day. You don’t need a fluffy rabbit, do you?”
    “Maybe after we move into our own home.” Carolyn leaned toward Sally and smiled. “Ask the man you were talking to,” she whispered. “He looks like the type who would fill his house with lots of abandoned animals.”
    Sally thought about Max and the new foal on Todd’s ranch. With a big empty barn and enough space to get lost in, Todd could make more animals very happy. She’d have to work on his enthusiasm for adopting animals, but if anyone was up for the challenge, it was her.
    All she needed were some cute and cuddly animals and a deaf ear when he said no.
