shook her head. “No, something is wrong, what is it?”
    “Nothing.”
    “Liar, it’s something. Tell me.”
    Audrey shook her head. “No, I’m good, just pick a dress.”
    Fallon eyed her before saying, “I’ll pick a dress if you tell me.”
    Audrey perked up. “Really? And I’ll never have to come back?”
    Fallon giggled. “Not until we come for your wedding dress.”
    As if.
    Audrey pushed that thought away. She didn’t want to tell Fallon that she and Levi hadbroken up. Again. She knew Fallon was going to be ecstatic. It was bad enough that Levi was probably happy he left; she didn’t need to see the happiness on her sister’s face.
    But then again, she really was beginning to hate this store.
    “Okay. Levi left me.”
    Fallon’s eyes went wide as her mouth fell open. Her eyes filled with excitement as she started to bounce a little. A bright grin came across her face and she came toward Audrey, then wrapped her up in her arms.
    “Don’t look too excited, Fal,” Audrey muttered against her shoulder. Fallon pulled back, a bright smile still on her face. Audrey looked down and started picking at the rip in her jeans.
    “Oh, sorry.”
    She looked up to see Fallon had dropped her grin, but not the smile in her eyes. “You still look happy.”
    Her sister giggled. “Oh, I am. This is better than picking a dress, honestly.”
    Audrey rolled her eyes. “I did love him, you know.”
    “Ah, whatever, he was the king of all douches. No big loss … on to bigger and better things.”
    Audrey let out a frustrated breath. “I don’t agree, but that’s beside the point—pick a dress.”
    Fallon did a little hop. “In a minute! When can I start fixing you up? You need a date for the wedding!”
    “No, I don’t, Aiden is my date,” Audrey said. She loved her nephew like he was hers, and he would be the best date ever. They used to be best friends, but then Lucas came into their lives. For as much as Lucas had taken from Audrey, one would think she would hate him, but shedidn’t. She couldn’t because he was the best.
    “Oh well, you’ll need adult action at my wedding,” Fallon gushed, clapping her hands. She could barely move in the dress she had on. Another reason she should pick the lace one, Audrey thought. “Let me hook you up with Phillip Anderson. Number thirteen, total hottie. Bright blue eyes, dirty blond hair, total hunk.”
    Audrey raised an eyebrow. “I don’t know, Levi just left.”
    “Which is why you should hook up with Phillip. He’s a good guy.”
    Audrey shrugged a shoulder. “I don’t know.”
    “Well, think about it, but think quick, ’cause I’ll need to have Lucas ask him.”
    “Yeah, yeah, come on, pick a dress.”
    Fallon placed a finger to her chin, still thinking. Audrey rolled her eyes at her as Fallon said, “I know for a fact that if he were older, you would love him.”
    “Who?” Audrey asked.
    “Tate, your neighbor.”
    “Ah, the infamous neighbor whom I have yet to meet. That dude is like a ninja. I only see his truck leave and hear him playing his piano.”
    Fallon smiled. “He’s a super great guy. You should go over and introduce yourself.”
    “Maybe, but like you said, he’s too young.”
    “Yeah,” Fallon said with a shake of her head.
    “Well, enough of that, what dress?” Audrey asked, not only annoyed that her sister hadn’t picked a dress but that she hadn’t met her neighbor. Lucas and Fallon talked so highly of him, and it had been almost a month and a half since he moved in. More than enough time to run into each other. He was a goalie, so when she went to games it was hard to tell what he looked likethrough all his gear, and they rarely interviewed him after the game, or if they did, she’d missed it. It was frustrating because she heard he was gorgeous. She once thought about Googling him, but come on, that was just weird, desperate and stalkery. Considering he was her next-door neighbor, she should be able to go over and
