The Bartender's Mail Order Bride - Plot & Excerpts
Had he just said what she thought he had? That he was anxious for her to meet his wife? Could he not see her purple dress? Was he blind? She suddenly wished she had told someone—anyone—so that she could ask for advice. What should she do now? All the daydreams she’d had about this moment had been very different, and she had nothing at the ready at all for this contingency. She took a deep breath and followed her family into the Occidental, playing through different scenarios in her head. Now she was left with making a big announcement, in front of her father and her entire family. She supposed she could just stay silent, and everyone would think that the bride to be had just not shown up. But no, that would mean that she’d still need to negotiate with her father, something she’d rather not have to do. On the far right of the Occidental was the private dining area that was used for small gatherings, and from the opposite side of the room, Meg could see that it had been decorated beautifully with purple and white flowers and ribbons to match.
