Chapter 31: The Music Box
"Next Saturday," Leland said, staring at the envelope. "Gran. That's eight days."
Gran shrugged and bit her toast.
At your first wedding you had one day, she signed. You're spoiled.
On Monday Lexi took me dress shopping.
My mother came too.
She asked first, by text, and then again in the car.
The shop was in Union Square, all white carpet and mirrors and a saleswoman who called everyone darling.
Lexi pulled a hot pink gown off the rack and held it up against me.
"No," I said.
"You haven't even looked at it."
"I can hear it from here."
My mother laughed, a real laugh, startled out of her.
She put her hand over her mouth.
Lexi grinned at her in the mirror.
I tried on a dozen dresses.
Lexi hated nine of them out loud.
My mother didn't say much.
She sat on a white velvet chair with my bag in her lap and watched, the way she used to watch my recitals when I was small.
The twelfth dress was ivory silk, plain, with long sleeves and a low back.
Nothing borrowed.
