Page 18 of Hers to Marry
Kat blew out a breath. “That’s a lot to think about. What about Drew? He wants to stay here.”
“Drew doesn’t know yet. I wanted to surprise him. We had talked about doing a world tour for our honeymoon, and what better way to start it off than actuallymovingto London?”
All three of them in London at the same time? The bottom of the appeal bucket dropped suddenly. “I don’t want to feel like a third wheel.”
“No, no, no. You won’t. We won’t go on our honeymoon until after I’ve finished with the meeting. Conference, actually. It’ll last a week. Then you can fly back while we’re on our honeymoon and wait until I need you again.” She wagged her brows and smiled like she had an ace up her sleeve. “South Africa next month. What do you think?”
It was a chance of a lifetime. Recently, her mother had been telling her that she needed to get out and experience more of the world—and life.
And the money would help eliminate her debt. She could be free from the bank in way less time.
Kat shrugged, her heart lighter. “How could I say no?”
“Exactly.” Parker looked at her watch. “Shoot. I’m late. I’ve gotta go. Don’t worry about lunch, it’s on me.”
“No, I’ve got this.”
“You sure? Oh, thank you, Kat, you’re a lifesaver. And I’m counting on you.” Her gaze held Kat’s. Her thumb nearly touched her index finger. “I’m this close to having it all. The perfect job, the man, the travel… Please help me. Whatever you need, promise. Like always.”
“Like always.”
“Good.” Parker shot her a smile, hopped the fence, and waved before rushing off to whatever else she had to do.
Kat took her time eating the rest of her salad and soup. She too could be traveling and be the boss of her own bakery—albeit a traveling one—if she helped her friend get married. Then she’d have enough money to pay the bank off.
All Kat wouldn’t get was the man.
Her friend already had him.
