Carolina accent of the man who had bought it for her.

      Her mother was giving her a pained look. So Dana smiled and said, “Speaking of the store, I started looking at possible sites for the new location today.”

      “Well, it’s about time! A body can’t hardly breathe in that itty-bitty place y’all are in now. Find anything?”

      Yeah. Trouble. “Not yet.”

      “That’s okay, you will, honey. You just have to keep looking.”

      A twinge of either aggravation or acid reflux spurted through Dana as she stared hard at her spoon. And how long, exactly, was she supposed to keep looking? She thought back to how she’d spent weeks searching for the perfect prom dress, finally finding one she absolutely loved in some little shop in the mall. Except…the neckline was too low. And it was red. With a full skirt. And all those sparklies…

      So she’d kept looking. And looking. Until, by the time she finally realized that was the only dress she really wanted, it was gone. So she’d had to settle for something she hadn’t liked nearly as much because she’d dithered so long.

      Because she’d believed herself unworthy of something so perfect.

      She nearly choked on her Jell-O.

      She was still doing it, wasn’t she? Refusing to even try something on because of some preconceived notion that it wouldn’t work. And maybe it wouldn’t, once she got it on (she stifled a snort at the double entrendre). God knew she’d left plenty of clothes hanging in dressing rooms over the years. But at least she owed it to herself to try, for crying out loud—

      “Dana, honey? Why are you frowning so hard?”

      Dana blinked herself back from la-la land and smiled for her mother, even as fried chicken and potato salad tumble dried in her stomach.

      “Yes, I’m fine,” she said, thinking, Damn straight I have a lot to offer.

      And absolutely nothing to lose.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
