"I'll take care of everything," Coen immediately assured her. "Just focus on Kylee's dress for the next few days." His reassurance eased her worries.

As she stood there hesitating, a car pulled up in front of her.
The window rolled down, and Linsey's breath caught. A familiar face stared back at her.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, startled.
