I waited, but in the end, Noah just sighed. “Never mind.”
Swallowing my disappointment, I nodded and didn’t press. He gave me another quick hug and left.
With a sigh, I turned back for the jewelry store, continuing my act. I even stopped by a few other stores and bought armloads of crap just to keep up appearances. The moment I got back, Mason’s eyes were on me, so I threw myself into wedding preparations.
“Oh look, I thought these could be favors for the wedding party,” I gushed, showing him the trinkets I bought.
He just kissed the top of my head. “Whatever you want, love.”
There were flowers to arrange, table designs to preview, and menus to discuss. I finalized it all, trying not to feel bitter. Only days ago, I was excited, happy about this wedding.
Now it was more like plan
