  39. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

A few minutes later, I pulled into the small lot behind the store, drew in a deep breath and headed inside. I dropped my bag in the office and made my way through the dressing-room area, where all three stalls appeared to be full. That wasn't surprising. This weekend should be especially busy as there were a ton of tourists in town for a big celebrity golf tournament.

Dani was ringing up a customer while our other clerk, Maddie, a local college student was hanging up clothes. I smiled at Maddie, then made my way over to Dani. The customer she was helping gave a double take when she saw me.

"There's two of you," she murmured in bemusement.

I smiled, used to the surprised reaction, although it hadn't happened as much in recent years. Dani and I were identical mirror twins. While we looked alike, she was right-handed, and I was left. She had a freckle above her right eyebrow, while I had the same freckle on the left. But we shared the same brown hair and dark blue, almost purple, eyes.

Beyond that, we'd made some changes to distinguish ourselves over the years. Dani had cut her brown hair to collar length and wore it straight, while my hair fell below my shoulders in tangled waves. Dani's fashion style was trendy and modern, while I was more casual and liked a bohemian look.

"Sorry for staring," the customer continued.

"No worries," Dani said. "Brynn is my twin sister, and we've had some fun over the years confusing people until we changed our hair and the way we dress."

"It must be odd to look at each other and see your own face," the customer said.

"It feels normal to us," I said.

"Enjoy your dress," Dani added, as she handed the customer her bag.

"Oh, I love it already. It will be perfect for my best friend's wedding. Thanks."

As the woman left, Dani's sales smile faded as she gave me an annoyed look. "Where have you been? I told you I need to leave early to get to my doctor's appointment. Steve will be here any second to pick me up."

"Oh, right." I realized my plan to shake up both our lives was going to have to wait. "Sorry, I forgot."

"You've been preoccupied lately. Are you thinking about Jeff?" Dani asked, referring to the man I'd been dating the past month.

I started at the question, realizing I hadn't given Jeff one thought in the last week.

"Are you two getting serious?" Dani asked with a hopeful smile.

"It hasn’t been that long. He's a nice guy, but I don't know…"

"You're so picky, Brynn. Jeff has a good job, and he's Steve's best friend. Think how great it would be if the two of you fell in love. Jeff is already part of the family. He's a good catch."

"I'm not looking to catch someone."
