The Family He Didn't Expect
Page 19
He froze at the sight of a bride climbing out of the window. Either that or a life-size marshmallow had just exploded into the alley.
Yep, that door definitely led to a bridal shop.
“Gotta get out. Gotta get out,” the bride chanted breathlessly.
He’d heard of runaway brides, but this was something else. He would have chuckled, but the woman suddenly slipped, leaving her and that massive dress dangling from the windowsill. He assumed her feet were under there somewhere, but it seemed like all of that fluff had swallowed them.
She let out a squeak and Jack rushed over to help. “Hang on, I got you.”
Another little yelp sounded and her arms shook right before she fell... Right on top of Jack. He tried to catch her, but with all that dress, he wasn’t sure what body part he had managed to grab hold of. All he knew was that he was falling to the hard ground of the alley, with a pile of lace and satin and soft woman covering him.
A friend of his caught the bouquet at a wedding once. Apparently he’d taken it a step further and caught the bride.
