  "I still can't believe Janine took the fall for you. Seifer's going to shit bricks," Zell said for what must have been the third time in ten minutes.

  I giggled and gave his arm a shove as we waited in the 'lobby' area of the boutique for Rinoa to model the first of the two bridesmaid dresses. "I told you. I think Seifer likes Janine."

  Zell scoffed. "But what girl is going to like him?"

  I shoved him again. "Oh stop it."

  He grinned and drew my back tight against him as he began his usual duty of nuzzling my neck. I squealed and struggled while enjoying every minute of it. Sure it was late. Sure the boutique was going to close in 10 minutes, but I didn't care. I was picking up my wedding dress!
