The Wedding Trap (Second Service)
“It landed with a hard thump against her chest.
"Oh come on, Alex. Let's be realistic," she said, lifting up the heavy thing to get a better look at it. It was thick and bulky and jet-black.

Beth gave the vest ...a good long look. She wasn't going to lie—the last option wasn't without allure. But she had already ruled out running. The same went for hiding.

Of course, there wouldn't be much to catch up to if she wound up with a great big hole in her chest.MoreLess
