her finger and hugged her. After several minutes of kissing
and crying, I said, “It’s just too bad we used all your wedding
money on the catering company. Maybe we can save up enough in a
year or so.”
    She kissed me, salty tears tickling our lips.
“No way. I’m not waiting that long. And neither is your mother. I’d
give anything for my mom to see me married. Your mother deserves
that gift.”
    I hugged her tighter, wondering what I’d done
to deserve the kind of luck that had brought her to me.

    I wasn’t sure if Micki was going to kill me
or not, but I passed her the wedding invitation as we were sorting
through the mail. “Hope one more’s not going to kill you,” I
said.
    She sighed. “I hope this isn’t from another
blog reader. Strangers keep inviting me.” She ripped open the
invitation, scanned the information, and it slipped from her
fingers. “Is this for real?”
    I nodded. “Do you think you could fit in
bridesmaid duty one more time this summer? You could even wear one
of the dresses you already have. Except Carrie’s, of course.”
    She wrapped an arm around my shoulder. “Not
only will I be your bridesmaid, I will be your wedding planner and
show the world what we can do in three weeks. That’ll get your
catering business up and running. What’s the name of it,
anyway?”
    I grinned when I thought about the argument
Justin and I had about the name the night before. I wanted Happy
Endings Catering. But after an entirely unfair tickle fight, I gave
in to his choice. “Great Beginnings Catering,” I told her.
    “Excellent,” Micki said. “Because it will be.
For all of us.”

From Lisa Scott, the Author
     
     
    I hope you enjoyed reading this story. I’m a
former TV news anchor who now enjoys making up stories instead of
sticking to the facts. I’ve dreamed of writing professionally ever
since penning my first creative writing assignment in second grade.
I know—that dream sure took a while to sprout.
    When not begging my husband and two kids for
a few minutes of peace to write my stories, I work as a voice actor
and putter around in my koi pond and garden in upstate NY.
    If you liked this story, please tell a
friend—I’m trying to spread the word that short stories aren’t
short on fun! And if you enjoyed it, please leave a review. I
always love hearing from readers at [email protected] .
