I nodded and quickly filled him in on what I’d told Sine. “What do you think?”

He smiled at me and tucked a lock of escaping hair behind my ear. “I think that you’re a beautiful, amazing woman who can accomplish anything she puts her mind to.”

I flushed, as I did every time Reb complimented me. I’d always considered myself a confident person, but there were times, if I hadn’t been able to hear the sincerity in his voice, I would have doubted how genuine his words were.

“I have to make some calls,” I said. “While I do that, can you look around and see if there’s anything at all we can salvage? I know there wasn’t really anything personal here, but if we can bring anything over from here, I know Jace and Savannah will appreciate it.”

He bent down and brushed a kiss across my lips before answering, “Let’s get this thing done.”

I allowed myself a moment to admire the view as he walked away from me because it was impossible for me to see that strong, lean body, and not want to ogle it. Hell, most of the time, it was all I could do to keep my hands to myself. I didn’t foresee our honeymoon stage ending anytime in the near future.

As he disappeared behind a pillar, I turned my attention to the problem at hand. For a lot of people, finding a wedding venue on Valentine’s Day would have been impossible, but after my promotion at the PR firm where I worked, my contact list had grown to include dozens of the richest, most influential people in New York City – if not the country – as well as people with the sort of abstract resources I used on an almost daily basis.

Plus, my boss and I got along well enough that I had no problem calling him first to clear what I wanted to do. Once Mr. Dwight learned that my prior supervisor, Sybil Feldt, had been passing off the majority of her work to me while taking all the credit, he not only fired her and gave me her job, he’d also taken it upon himself to personally mentor me. Over the past year, Reb and I had spent more than one night having dinner with Mr. Dwight and his partner, Franklin.

“Paige? What’s wrong?” He immediately sounded concerned. “Aren’t you supposed to be at your friends’ wedding?”

“We’ve had a setback, and I was wondering if I could use company contacts to fix it?”

He didn’t even hesitate. “Of course. What do you need?”
