The woman nods and begins to search the racks as does Rosalie. I look around for a moment and touch the soft fabric of one of the dresses. My phone vibrates and I almost ignore it, figuring it's Parker, until I see a photo of Tommy and Ronnie pop up.

I instantly answer. "Ron?"

"Of course I did. You look amazing." He pulls away a little and looks down at the dress.

I look up at him. "I need honestly here. Rose is biased, she just wants her choice."

He chuckles and nods, letting go and sitting beside Rose. "Okay, next dress then."
