Excerpt:



Molly's eyes swept the dress store, taking in the racks full of billowing gowns. Molly, Alicia, and Karen had already admired the white dresses displayed in the window, although none of those was quite right. They were in the only dress shop in Ridge City, deciding to start in town before visiting shops in surrounding communities.



“Are we waiting for your mother to arrive?” Nancy, the store's owner, asked politely.



Molly felt the sting of tears in her eyes as the pain hit her heart. She turned away and blinked furiously, hearing the silence of held breath behind her.



“No,” she said, glad to hear her voice hold steady. “She passed away two years ago.”



“Oh, I'm so sorry!”



As Nancy gushed with overplayed sympathy, Molly glanced down at her glittering ring, wondering what her mom would think of all this. There were so many things they wouldn't get to share.



“Are you okay?” Alicia asked, suddenly beside Molly, her voice soft and full of concern. Her expression matched her voice. Alicia's entire personality matched that sweet voice, actually.



Molly nodded and tried for a smile. “Everyone warns you,” she said with a forced laugh, “but you don't expect yourself to get so emotional.”



“With a pregnancy? And planning a wedding?” Alicia slid her arm around Molly and pulled her close. “We're in this together, ‘kay?”



Molly stayed in her embrace, her chin on Alicia's shoulder. It felt so good to have friends around.



“We could invite Mom to this,” Alicia said. “It's not the same as having your own mom here, I know, but she loves you. She's so happy for you and Trent.”



Why hadn't she thought of that? Molly quickly pulled out her phone and called her mother-in-law, who answered on the second ring.



“Oh good, you're home,” Molly said. “We just arrived at the dress shop. Would you like to come down and look at dresses with me?”



“Oh!” Brenda squealed. “I would absolutely love to. I'll be right there.”
