Savannah Charles watched the young woman wandering around her bridal
shop, checking prices and looking more discouraged by the moment. Her
shoulders slumped and she bit her lip when she read the tag on the wedding
gown she’d selected. She had excellent taste, Savannah noticed; the ivory
silk-taffeta dress was one of her own favorites. A pattern of lace and pearls
swirled up the puffed sleeves and bodice.

“Can I help you?” Savannah asked, moving toward her.
Startled, the woman turned. “I… It doesn’t look like it. This dress is
almost twice as much as my budget for the whole wedding. Are you
Savannah?”
“Yes.”
She smiled shyly. “Missy Gilbert told me about you. She said you’re
wonderful to work with and that you might be able to give Kurt and me
some guidance. I’m Susan Davenport.” She held out her hand and Savannah
shook it, liking the girl immediately.
“When’s your wedding?”
“In six weeks. Kurt and I are paying for it ourselves. His two younger
brothers are still in college and his parents haven’t got much to spare.”
Amusement turned up the corners of her mouth as she added, “Kurt’s dad
claims he’s becoming poor by degrees.”
Savannah smiled back. “What about your family?”
“There’s only my brother and me. He’s fifteen years older and, well…it
isn’t that he doesn’t like Kurt. Because once you meet Kurt, it’s impossible
not to love him. He’s kind and generous and interesting….”
Savannah was touched by Susan’s eagerness to tell her about the man she
wanted to marry.
“But Nash—my brother—doesn’t believe in marriage,” the young
woman went on to explain. “He’s an attorney and he’s worked on so many
divorce cases over the years that he simply doesn’t believe in it anymore. It
doesn’t help that he’s divorced himself, although that was years and years
ago.”
“What’s your budget?” Savannah asked. She’d planned weddings that
went into six figures, but she was equally adept at finding reasonable
alternatives. She walked back to her desk, limping on her right foot. It
ached more this afternoon than usual. It always did when the humidity was
this high.
Susan told her the figure she and Kurt had managed to set aside and
Savannah frowned. It wasn’t much, but she could work with it. She turned
around and caught Susan staring at her. Savannah was accustomed to that
kind of reaction to her limp, the result of a childhood accident.
She
generally wore pants, which disguised the scars and disfigurement, but her
limp was always noticeable, and more so when she was tired. Until they
knew her better, it seemed to disconcert people. Generally she ignored their
hesitation and continued, hoping that her own acceptance would put them at
ease.
“Even the least expensive wedding dresses would eat up the majority of
the money we’ve worked so hard to save.”
“You could always rent the dress,” Savannah suggested.
“I could?” Her pretty blue eyes lit up when Savannah mentioned the
rental fee.
