it.
    Talking to her now, Jordana realized how she sorely missed her friend. No matter how famous she got, Mel never treated her any different. She liked that about her. It kept her grounded.
    “How are you, Dana? I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to meet you in London, you know how it goes—academic stuff,” Melissa said apologetically.
    “I should be the one apologizing, silly! Well, I’m good…same old, same old. How about you? Where are you? Are you well?”
    “Oh, Dana! You just have no idea how happy I am right now!”
    “Do tell!”
    “I’m in seventh heaven! I have to tell someone about the good news or burst from too much happiness. Well, you know that my Mom and I…well…we aren’t really chummy. You’re the first person who came to mind. Luckily, I still have Leandro’s old number…I rang him for a chat,” Melissa happily related.
    “Uhmm, as you can see…I am in a bit of a mess lately,” she disclosed.
    “So I heard from Leandro! I honestly have no idea about it…I have been…well...preoccupied lately. I didn’t even have the time to watch TV or open my email. Oh, dear. I’m so sorry that these vile monsters were running after you like crazy wankers.”
    Jordana smiled after hearing the genuine concern in Mel’s voice. “I’m a big girl. I’m coping so far. ”
    Barely.
    Melissa laughed at the other line. “You have always been a big girl! I meant that in a good way. Going back to what I was saying…I called you to tell you that—I’m finally getting married!” Mel said giddily.
    Jordana squealed.
    “You are? Oh, Mel! I’m so happy for you! Who’s the lucky man? Do I know him or did you met him at school?” she questioned.
    “Nah. He isn’t one of those fashion Adonises and he isn’t from the University either. As a matter of fact, I met him during a disastrous trip in Tuscany three months ago,” Mel continued.
    “Wait…he’s Italian?!”
    “He is! A real-life Italian count, too!”
    “Is he? You lucky girl!”
    “We’re getting married in two weeks’ time. I know it’s short notice…but he was adamant when I told him we should wait. And, no…I am not pregnant,” Mel’s lilting voice was full of sunshine.
    For a moment, Jordana almost envied her friend’s happiness.
    “Dana, can I ask you to be my maid of honor? I know you’re really busy…I’ll understand if you can’t…”
    “Of course, I’d be glad to!” she confirmed right away.
    “Really? You’re sure? What about your schedule? Leandro regretfully said he can’t come, and he told me that your schedule gets pretty hectic—”
    She bit her lip when she realized she didn’t check her schedule first. She could almost see Francesca’s face if she suddenly backed down from a gig.
    Ah, let Leandro deal with Francesca. Her female bestfriend was getting married and she would make time for her!
    “Of course, Mel. I’m absolutely sure I’ll be there. I’ll work around my schedule. Don’t worry about it. Your wedding will come a week before the Milan Fashion Week, and right after London Fashion Week. There’s a gap, so it’ll be perfect,” she said.
    Mel screamed in delight. “Thank you! You have no idea how big this means to me! So, when can I expect you?”
    “Wait…I’ll check first to be sure.” She quickly skimmed her appointments for the next two weeks. She had an editorial shoot for Vanity Fair two days before Melissa’s wedding. She knew the editor and she was pretty positive she can get it rescheduled to a later date.
    “Well?”
    “I’ll be there, Mel. Expect me on the eve of your wedding.”
    “But you’ll be jet-lagged!” Mel exclaimed.
    “Don’t worry, I promise not to trip during the wedding ceremony,” she joked.
    Mel laughed happily.
    “It’s really lovely hearing your voice again, Dana. I know these past weeks had been difficult for you. Hey, you know what? Treat the wedding as a mini-vacation for you. The paparazzi can’t follow you here,” her friend
