"Really? You think I hadn't already planned for this?" he asked.

I stared at the darkened window, trying to process what he was telling me. He'd planned for me to come asking for his help? I supposed he did know me well enough, but it was still a little shocking.

"Thank you," I said instead.

"You're very welcome, Sades. But don't forget you need to tell everyone where you got the dress when you're asked."

"I'll tell anyone that asks," I promised, hoping that no one who did would recognise my face. I'd need to make sure I hid from all the cameras I could. Not exactly great publicity for Enrique, but he'd understand.

"Excellent. I'll see you tomorrow, Sades. But now, I need my beauty sleep."

"Your beauty needs no sleep, Enrique," I teased.

"That's what you think."

"Good night."

"Night, Sades."

The end call beep sounded, and I dropped the phone to the table. I let out a deep breath. I was grateful for the best friend I had. Without him, this really wouldn't be possible.

I had a man to meet. Hopefully he'd live up to my expectations.
