Bracing herself she’d thrown open the door to the store, the bell ringing merrily to herald her arrival. Every time the bell rings, a divorce attorney gets a Porsche. Afton had looked around nervously, wondering if she’d actually spoken the words out loud. The cynical thought had popped into her head out of nowhere it seemed. Pushing it aside, she’d waded into the gown-packed establishment, almost blinded by the unrelenting sea of white dresses, intent on finding one of her own as her wedding date loomed ever nearer. ↗
