you don’t get to hear every day . ’
    She practically dragged Kate to her bedroom, her face stormy and determined.
    ‘Here, tell me that you don’t like it.’ She demanded, pointing to the perfectly made bed.
    ‘ Oh , all right, there ’ s no need to be so dramatic.’ Kate grabbed the dress that lay on the bed between them, a vivid splash of aquamarine against the pristine white coverlet. It had not one single wrinkle on it, Kate noticed with morbid amusement, her sister’s perfectionism something she had come to admire and hate at the same time. ‘That’s what I ’ m supposed to wear?’ she asked resignedly, knowing that any further resistance was futile. Alice wanted her to be her maid of honor , and she couldn’t really come up with one good reason why it was impossible.
    ‘ It will go great with your hair and eyes.’ Alice eyed her critically, her perfect little nose crinkled as she added , ‘ Of course , it would look a bit better if you weren’t so tanned, Kate. You ’ ll stick out like a sore thumb with your Australian tan, but I guess that’s something that can’t be dealt with, right? What were you doing there, kiddo? I thought you went for a project , not for lazing on a beach with local hunks.’
    ‘I was working most of the time,’ Kate said with a grin , the note of envy in her sister’s voice something so rare and precious that it deserved to be relished and savored to its very limits . For most of their lives, Alice was the one who took the better share of the pie, be it the looks or the grades or even the boys she dated. Her latest success was the reason why they were sitting here, inside, wasting a perfectly sunny May afternoon. Alice was getting married to no ne other than Thomas Garrison Jr. His family was definitely crème de la crème of the local society, their orchards, horse breeding , and eco - gardening known to everyone.
    The only thing Kate had going for her was her work , and she had been immensely proud to be cherry - picked by the agency to travel for a yearlong project in Sidney. The campaign she worked on was a huge success , and she had been extended for another year, jumping on this opportunity with enthusiasm that made her mom worry she had raised a true workaholic. Kate had to spend a lot of time explaining to her that no, she didn’t plan on a permanent move to Down Under, and yes, she realized there were other things in life than work and campaigns, however important and influential they might be.
    She was back now, enjoying a four-week break before starting work on another project. She seriously doubted that she needed such a long vacation, but she went along, if only to make her mother happy. Being back in Seattle had its pluses, she thought now, watching her sister dig in her closet to fish out a shoe box and open it with such triumph , as if it contained real treasure.
    ‘ See , th e se are the shoes that go with the dress .’ S he picked up a pair of silver sandals that consisted of nothing more than a few strips of glossy leather and heels that made Kate second - guess her decision. ‘You ’ ll look wonderful , and Sarah can just eat her heart out , ’ Alice added, her face determined .
    Sarah was Thomas’ s sister , and so far the two women didn’t get along well. Kate suspected that it was a battle where both sides were guilty as charged, her sister’s big mouth and honesty not everyone’s cup of tea, thank you very much. Sarah had been the baby of the family for the last twenty-four years and was certainly used to getting all the attention. She had let Alice know , in not the subtlest of ways , how much she did not look forward to step ping aside one bit to allow her to join the ranks of the Garrison clan.
    ‘Why don’t you ask her to be your maid of honor?’ Kate asked her sister now, bracing herself against the storm that would follow. ‘ Maybe that could be seen as a gesture of goodwill , and you’d get along better?’
    ‘Forget about
