“She’s here with me,” she said. “She just walked in the door. It’s Sloane.”

“Hi, Sloane,” Carolyn said.

“I just wanted to let you both know that...ready, everyone?”

Diane had no idea what was going on.

“You were right!” a chorus of voices yelled.

“We were?” she asked. “About what?”

“Daddy’s getting married.”

“Oh my God,” Carolyn screeched. Good thing they were on speaker or it might have blown Sloane’s eardrums out. “Is that Tiffani?”

“It is,” Sloane said. “With Shiloh, Dane and Tyler.”

“Dane asked Sloane to marry him,” a quieter voice said. “And she said yes.”

“That’s wonderful,” she said, looking at Carolyn and giving a thumbs up. “I told you that we knew what we were doing.”

“Well, you did say he was a great guy, but we know you didn’t have anything to do with this.”

She rolled her eyes. “Maybe not as much as we would have liked. Do your parents know, Dane?”

“We just told them,” Dane said. She looked down and saw the call coming in on her phone from a number she didn’t recognize. “That would be my mother calling you right now to tell you the good news. You can all argue who had a bigger hand in it. Have a good night.”

Just like that, the phone disconnected and she answered the other call. “Hello?”

“Diane, this is Doreen Grey. I’m sure you heard the good news.”

“We did,” she said. “I’ve got Carolyn here with me.”

“Perfect,” Doreen said. “I’ll only say this once. I don’t believe in matchmaking, but maybe it can work.”

All three women laughed.

“It’s all about the couples,” Carolyn said. “And the mothers. We just have to keep that part to ourselves.”

Prologue

“Regan, Kellen, both of you come into the living room, please,” Regan’s mother said from the bottom of the stairs.

She and her brother were upstairs doing their homework like they always did after school.

The good girl, she’d always been told. That was what she was trying to be at sixteen.

Most of her friends were playing sports and hanging out after school. Not her.
