I glance down at what I’m wearing and thank the heavens above that Maggie and I went shopping last week after my drunken debacle and the ruined boxes arriving from Troy. With my shiny new paycheck, I was able to replace the majority of my wardrobe.

I’m in a pair of black jeans with a white button-down shirt and a thick belt to tie it all together. I finally feel like myself in clothes that fit my style and make me feel more confident.

I even took the time to put on my usual makeup and teased some loose curls into my long, blond hair.

I wear my hair up in a ponytail or bun almost every day for work, so this feels extra indulgent today.

I guess I’ll pass muster for famous people.

Keegan’s parents arrive first, and it’s a flurry of hugs and laughter and love. I step back out of the way, but Keegan’s father’s gaze catches mine, and he walks right over to me.

“You must be the lovely Izzy that I’ve heard so much about. I’m Tom O’Callaghan. How are you getting along, then?”

I smile at the thick accent and the kind face so much like his three sons. “I’m doing very well, thank you. You have incredibly kind children.”

“And that’s the truth of it, but it’s always nice to hear that they behave when their sainted mother and I are away.”

I laugh, immediately feeling at ease with this older man. His wife joins us, and I am swept up in a firm hug. Stronger than expected from such a small woman.

“This gorgeous vision is my wife, Fiona.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“Well, you’re even lovelier than I thought you’d be. Isn’t she just a sight, Tom?”

“That she is, my love.”

“Thank you. It’s nice of Maggie to say such nice things, but—”

“Oh, t’wasn’t Mary Margaret,” Fiona says. “Keegan speaks highly of you, lass.”

Keegan?

I blink, not sure what to say, but before I can come up with any words, the door opens, and people start filing in.

All I can do is stand back and watch in awe.

Anastasia and Kane arrive, looking adorable in color-coordinated outfits. I overheard Stasia telling Maggie a few days ago that she had to talk Kane into their attire, but now I can see why she did. They look fantastic.

My jaw hits the floor when I see Will Montgomery walk in. I’ve watched Will play for the Seattle football team for as long as I can remember. He’s a megastar, and he’s related to Anastasia?

More and more people file in. I recognize Amelia Montgomery, the face and name behind the super successful makeup brand. I’ve watched her YouTube makeup tutorials for years.

But then my heart stops.

Literally stops beating in my chest.
