Simone Mills checked the time on her SUV’s dashboard. The country
highway that led into tiny Two Hearts, Tennessee, rolled out before
her. Instead of focusing on the beauty of the countryside, she saw the
remaining miles ahead before she arrived at a wedding with the wedding
cake that currently sat in the back of her vehicle.
At least, the January temperatures were kinder to cakes than summer
had been. She didn’t have to leave at the crack of dawn to avoid the heat. In
July, she’d done that and still had to crank the air conditioning to its highest
level. What a sight she must have been wearing this same hat, gloves, and
winter coat then. But the cake had arrived intact. Every cake had arrived
intact. On time. She’d never missed a wedding.
She resisted the urge to put her foot a little heavier on the gas pedal
because she didn’t have time for a ticket, and she certainly didn’t want an
accident.
Her phone rang, and Cassie’s name came up on her SUV’s system.
Forcing enthusiasm into her voice, Simone answered, “Hello!” Maybe that
would deflect her friend and the wedding planner for today’s happy event.
“You aren’t here. I know that’s stating the obvious, but I’m at CJ and
Paige’s house and you aren’t. I have to head over to the ceremony in about
ten minutes. Then there’s going to be a reception here where people will
expect cake. And food,” she added with a lower mutter. “Not that it’s on
you.”
Ouch! Neither she nor the caterer had arrived. “I’m about a half hour
out. Everything will be fine.” She hoped. She really, really hoped. “My
assistant went into labor a month early. She and the baby are doing great,
but my workload doubled. I’d already planned for a lighter client schedule
while she was off, but not for this surprise.” Simone would be relieved
when the new mother came back to work in a couple of months.
Back in wedding planner mode, Cassie said, “That makes sense. But
you know who this wedding is for and how important it is.”
Simone knew that all too well. “Don’t worry. Mrs. Brantley will have
the cake of her dreams.”
Cassie sighed. “I know she will. I trust you.”
Good thing this wedding planner knew her well. She had never cut it
this close before. Everything on the cake was planned in detail, with the
baking and assembly starting days in advance. She’d grown to trust her
assistant and expected her to always be there. She might have to hire a
second assistant or take fewer orders.
Cassie’s voice interrupted her thoughts. “I’ll see you when we come
back after the ceremony.” There was almost a pleading sound in her friend’s
voice. Simone hated to hear that. She’d let her down.
“I’ll be there.” At that moment, a warning light on her engine’s
dashboard popped on.
