“Oh, good. I was worried it might get lost in the mail. Can you make it?”
“Of course. I wouldn’t miss it. Tell me about Gregory. How did you two meet?”
There was a pause just long enough to make me wonder.
“At a pharmaceutical conference. He’s a regional director at Bennett Health Solutions. Very successful, very established. Mother absolutely adores him.”
Of course she did. I wondered if Victoria loved him or if she loved how he looked on paper.
“I’m really happy for you,” I said, trying to mean it.
“Thank you. Listen, I have to run. We’re meeting with the wedding planner in twenty minutes. I’ll send you more details later.”
She hung up before I could say goodbye.
