“Uh, yes. Sorry. You just startled me.”

“You look pale.”

“I’m fine.” Turning, she moved to her nightstand and put the jewelry box inside the top drawer. “Is Cinnabun all right?”

“Yes. She’s back in her cage. You sure you’re okay?”

“I’m sure. Let’s do this.”

Betsy nodded and held out her hand. Sunny took hold, letting her lead her to the back door where Razor waited, looking gorgeous in his suit.

“Ready, darlin’?” he asked with a grin.

“I’m ready,” she replied.

“Not got cold feet?” Razor asked.

She shot him a look. “No.” Although she was definitely dreading telling Duke about the Fox.

Worry about that later. This is your wedding day.

“Where’s Jewel?” She looked around.

Just then they heard barking, and Hatter came racing past with something in his mouth.

“Hatter!” Jewel yelled, running after him. “Come back here.”

“Was that . . . was that the ring pillow in his mouth?” Sunny asked.

“Nothing to worry about. All under control.”

“Hatter,” Razor said firmly. “Stop.”

Skidding to a stop, Hatter turned and looked up at Razor with sad eyes. As though he couldn’t understand why Razor was ruining his fun game.

“Bring.” Razor held out his hand.

Hatter whined.

“Hatter,” Sunny said warningly.

Hatter trotted over and dropped the ring pillow in front of Razor’s feet.

The empty ring pillow.

“Please tell me the rings weren’t already tied onto the pillow when he took it,” Betsy said.

They all stared down at Hatter. He was already wearing the white harness that the ring pillow attached to. He stared up at them, his tongue hanging out of his mouth, looking very happy with himself.

“No,” Jewel said hastily. “I was about to put them on the pillow and attach it to his harness when he stole the pillow and raced off. I still have them.”

Thank the Lord. She did not want to wait for them to work their way through him.

“The ring pillow is a bit, uh, slobbery, though,” Razor said, picking it up.

“I’ll give it a clean,” Jewel said hastily, taking the pillow and disappearing

“Hatter,” Sunny scolded, straightening the bow tie he was wearing.
