“A real minister?”
“Of course.”
“No way!” Ben rose and paced the kitchen floor. He counted off the squares in the brown and white linoleum until his frustration cooled. “I’m not going to take a chance on anything going wrong. I have a friend back in Boston who is a drama professor. Dex will fly out to do the honors if I ask him to. He’ll not only look and act like a real minister, there’s a plus.”
“What’s that,” she asked cautiously. “No one will ever see him again.”
“We can’t,” she protested. “It would break my aunt’s heart, and I’d feel like a fraud!”
His eyebrows rose. “Would you feel any differently if this friend of your aunt’s performed a mock-ceremony without a license?”
Melinda glanced down at her clenched hands. Her heart was breaking into little pieces. The dream she’d woven into her fantasy wedding was crumbling fast, and she didn’t know how to stop it. A platonic, temporary marriage with a man she’d yearned over for half of her life was the last thing she’d expected. How could she have gotten in so deep?
Ben cleared his throat. He’d never seen a more unhappy look on the face of a woman who had just gotten engaged. He’d have to make it up to her later. “Sorry. Tell the reverend I’m having a close college friend do the honors. Just be sure he doesn’t know the truth. What he and Ms. Bertie don’t know won’t hurt them.” He hesitated. “Oh, one more thing. I want you to take my photograph off that damn dating Web site before anyone else sees it!”
“I told you I had nothing to do with putting it on there!”
“I don’t care. If it’s not too late, see if you can get me off there before the whole town sees it.”
