Between dresses three and four, Keeley needed to go to the bathroom. She excused herself (though nobody noticed because they were too busy arguing) and wandered around the salon until she found it.
On her way back, she passed another private dressing area that happened to have a bride and her mother in it. The problem was she recognized that mother—it was Pearl Knighton.
Lacy burst out of the dressing room complaining loudly in a ball gown completely decked out in diamonds. "This one doesn't have enough diamonds on it. I have to be the most dazzling bride our circle has ever seen! Everyone is still talking about Alice Kelly's wedding dress from nearly three years ago. I have to beat her!"
"You will dear," Pearl said soothingly. "You'll be the most ravishing bride there ever was."
