we’ll do our best to find another dress for you.”
    The smile on Mary-Anne’s face brought a lump to Molly’s throat. She knew what it felt like to have very little money. Even though her wedding had been an extravagant, over-the-top event, her life hadn’t always been that way. Molly and her sister had grown up with their gran. Their parents had died in a car accident when she’d been seven-years-old and life hadn’t been easy.
    Laurel, one of the bridesmaids, turned to Molly. “These are lovely dresses. I can’t believe you’re doing this for us.”
    Rachel handed another sister the three dresses she’d chosen. “We couldn’t do this without the brides and bridesmaids who donate their dresses. They’re sent to us wrapped in love and a whole lot of good wishes.”
    Tears gathered in Mary-Anne’s eyes. “We appreciate what you’re doing.”
    Molly opened the door to the changing room. “You can pop in here and try the dresses on. We’ve got spare shoes if you didn’t bring yours, and dozens of petticoats you can use.”
    The bridesmaids gathered all of their dresses in their arms and walked into the room with the bride.
    Rachel offered Mary-Anne’s mom a cup of coffee. While the three bridesmaids tried on the dresses, Molly enjoyed hearing about the plans they’d made for Mary-Anne’s wedding. When the door to the changing room opened, everyone looked up.
    Mary-Anne and her sisters walked into the room. Molly had seen a lot of bridesmaids standing in the middle of the loft, turning left and right as they looked at their dresses. Each time, she was amazed at how emotional she felt. It was a beautiful thing to see women so happy, especially when the kindness of other women had made it happen.
    “What do you think?” Mary-Anne asked. “These were the dresses that everyone liked the most.”
    Rachel tilted her head to the side. “They look great. I like that the dresses are all in shades of purple. It’s very classic.”
    “Pretty without being pastel,” Molly added. “What are your bouquets going to look like?”
    Mary-Anne tweaked the long skirt of one of her sister’s dresses. “We haven’t decided yet. But anything would work with the purple.”
    Molly agreed. The bouquets could be made from wildflowers or roses, it wouldn’t matter. What mattered were the smiles on Mary-Anne’s sister’s faces. “You all look grand. Would you like to take these dresses home?”
    Mary-Anne looked at her mom and sisters and they all nodded and smiled. “I guess that’s a unanimous yes from us. Is there anything we can do for you?”
    Rachel shook her head. “Just enjoy your wedding and have a happy marriage.”
    The smile on Mary-Anne’s face made Molly sigh. Dreaming about what your marriage would be like was one thing. Living the reality could be quite a different story.

    Jacob leaned against the fence separating his dad’s prize-winning bulls from the rest of the herd. When his dad had been younger than Jacob, he’d been a rodeo champion. Jim Green had toured the world and won more gold buckles than anyone in Montana.
    When he retired, he bought a ranch, built a rodeo school out of nothing, and started a breeding program for bucking bulls. With two world champion bulls in his care, his dad made a healthy living as a stock contractor.
    Last year, Jacob had invested a significant chunk of money into his dad’s business. Breeding bucking bulls was a high-tech, multimillion-dollar industry. A DNA database of more than 160,000 animals kept everyone honest and more than a little in awe of what could be achieved.
    “You want to tell me what’s on your mind?” Jacob’s dad asked.
    Jacob stared at Renegade, the latest success story in his dad’s business. At 1500 pounds, the bull’s sheer size made him a force to be reckoned with. With all of the planning that had gone into Renegade’s birth, they’d had high expectations about what he would achieve. The prize-winning bull hadn’t let
