"At the start of wedding season, Viola Davies swung open the tailor shop's door for her last fitting. Her best friend, Eliza Dunkin, was getting married in two weeks and she was the maid of honor. The two had been inseparable since they'd started working at the advertising company five years ago. That's when Eliza had first started dating her now fiancé, Rowan.
Viola felt a twinge of sadness as she remained the only single woman among her friends. She often wondered if there was anyone left out there for her.

"Adam!" Viola went to stand in front of the mirrors so he wouldn't have to crane his neck to see her. He was no longer the gangly teen that was all angles.
