“Okay, how about wearing this?” Max asked.
She uncovered her eyes to see Max now standing outside the closet door, holding up a hanger with a maxi dress hanging on it. The dress was made of ivory lace, off the shoulder, with a lovely ruffled overlay. It was definitely a vintage dress, one Pru recognized immediately, even though she hadn’t seen it in years. Not since she and her brother had moved from a house to an apartment and put most of their parents’ things into storage.
It was her mother’s wedding dress.
Pru covered her mouth with one hand, tears slipping down her cheeks. “It’s not a fake wedding, is it?”
Max shook his head, the usual wicked gleam in his eyes gone. “No, I want you to marry me, Prudence Washington. For real this time. Will you spend the rest of your life with me? Say yes, sweetheart.”
“Yes,” she whispered, with no hesitation.
She’d gambled her heart when she’d agreed to come with Max to New Orleans. But looking at the man she’d soon be marrying in front of her dearest friends and family, she knew for certain that love gamble had paid off.
And even more so, that once she’d gone Max, she’d never, ever go back.
