putting enough glue on?"
    Casey held up her phone, where she was watching a YouTube video. "You didn't even watch this, did you? I made up a mock vase, which I clearly told you to look at before you started making one. If you don't evenly coat the glue, the glitter won't stay on the vase and my reception tables will be covered. Covered ."
    Rachel rolled her eyes, then continued to brush glue on the ceramic vase in a coat that was quite obviously uneven from where Liz sat next to her on the floor.
    Their Ladies Night's the past few months, when they did manage to have them, were pretty well centered around Casey and Jake's upcoming wedding. It would be an event that could probably win Pinterest awards, if there was ever such a thing. Casey's parents certainly weren't skimping on the budget, given that they only had one daughter's wedding to pay for, but in customary Casey fashion, she had to put her fingerprint on everything.
    Everything.
    Including the creation of small vases that would soon be covered in even coats of gold glitter, eventually used to hold white tulips on the candy bar table.
    Liz finished rolling the bottom of her vase on the wide plate holding all the glitter, and then held it up for Casey's inspection.
    "Perfect. Because you put enough glue on it."
    "Oh bite me, Steadman," Rachel grumbled from where she was attempting to get her vase covered completely. Attempting and failing. Liz pushed out a laugh, even though she was about puking from nerves. And they hadn't even noticed that she was practically sweating through her long sleeved white shirt. How on earth did she think she could get away with this? Pretending like she was having an entire relationship that neither of them knew about.
    Swallowing past the angry hornet's nest in her throat, Liz stood and held out a hand for the vase Rachel had just finished. Holding them carefully from the top, she went and set them down on the wide granite island in the middle of Rachel and Tate's kitchen.
    "Where's Tate tonight, Rach?" Liz asked, smiling at some new pictures of Asher covering the fridge. He was still wonderfully toothless, and his wide, gummy smile was about the most adorable thing she'd ever seen.
    "I told him he had to stay downstairs unless otherwise instructed."
    Casey laughed. "And he listens? Man, you have my brother so whipped."
    "Pfft, this coming from the woman whose Army man fiancé has agreed to wear a light pink tie at his wedding? Do you really want to compare who's got their man whipped?"
    From the opposite side of the room, Liz watched them laugh and tease each other about their respective significant others. Because why wouldn't they? They'd both had these natural, normally progressing relationships. Liz had watched each of them unfold over the last two years. The organic and instinctual dance of two with common interests, with a mutual attraction.
    And what was she about to do?
    Open her mouth, and insert her fabricated beau into their lives. It actually hurt to think about lying to them. To purposely set out to deceive them. But she'd promised. And he'd done the same.
    "So, I have something I need to tell you guys," Liz said as she made her way back to where Casey and Rachel were still giggling.
    Rachel stretched and raised her eyebrows. "Uh oh. The last time one of us said those words, I was admitting that Tate done knocked me up on accident. You're not pregnant, are you, Blondie?"
    A strangled laugh slipped out of Liz mouth, because that visual was enough to force her into a padded cell.
    "No, there's no way I can top that one, Rach."
    "Good," Rachel replied. "I like holding the title of the most dramatic announcement at Ladies Night."
    Casey rolled her eyes, and then looked up at where Liz was gripping the back of the couch. "What is it, Liz?"
    "Umm, I know I haven't given you my RSVP card yet."
    With a dismissive wave of her hand, Casey looked a little confused. Yeah. She might want to wait a few seconds before pasting that
