Accidental Romeo: A Marriage Mistake Romance

  But I'm not imagining it. That’s for damn sure.

  It's simple beauty. Gold band. A few delicate gems lined up in the center.

  Am I dreaming?

  Am I still engaged to Charlie Pratt and fantasizing about what'll happen when I finally get the courage to break it off?

  No. No daydream would leave me feeling this crappy, this confused.

  I’m not in my bathroom back in Scottsdale. I’m in Reno. Showering in Martha Walsh’s apartment while she’s in Washington helping her granddaughter, who just had a baby.

  You're hallucinating, I tell myself.

  It's probably the dehydration or the waning headache or the adrenaline hangover I've had since getting home. I lick my lips, count to three, and open my eyes.

  What the what?! It’s not just one ring. It’s two!

  An engagement ring with a very large emerald surrounded by several small diamonds. Nothing at all like the glittery designer name I’ve worn for the past year. The etched wedding band has emeralds and diamonds on it, too.

  They're both gorgeous. Flipping gorgeous.

  Another image flashes in my head, so ridiculous it sends me jumping out of the shower.

  I think...oh, God...it's Elvis, isn't it?

  Yup. Elvis. Alive and well.

  The King himself. Dressed as a preacher.

  Or maybe a preacher dressed as Elvis?

  Naked and wet, I run to the living room, grabbing my purse. Zipping it open, I dump the contents on the sofa and start pawing through the pile.

  My cell phone, hair brush, and trinkets fall onto the cushion, along with a shower of cash, and then, a single folded sheet of paper flutters out. It'd been jammed into the very bottom.

  Somehow, just looking at it, I know. And I'm already hyperventilating a little before it's readable.

  My hands shake as I pick it up. Open it. Look.

  State of Nevada Certificate of Marriage, it reads.

  Mindy Marie Austin to Noah Allen Bernard.

  “It can't be!” I whisper, on the verge of passing out. “I’m...I'm married?”
