Chapter 7 I couldn't help but smirk . " Of course , I'm here to pick out a wedding dress . What , did you think I was stalking you ? 11 Jared opened his mouth , then closed it again , moving a little closer like he couldn't decide whether to speak or walk away . Elsie cut in , her voice sharp with impatience . " Jared , let's go . We're going to be late . Do you have any idea how hard it was to book this photographer ? " He gave me one last look , lingered a second longer than he probably should've , then finally turned and followed her into the car for their outdoor shoot . I shrugged off the run - in without giving it another thought . After I narrowed down my selections to three dresses , the bridal consultant led me into the fitting room . When I stepped out , I noticed someone new had arrived , Sean Lennon . We'd only seen each other once since that first meeting . He wasn't as sharply dressed this time , but he looked even more refined and gentler . I felt a little awkward , not sure what to say . He held out his hand like a true gentleman , steadying me as I took a step forward . " This one looks great on you . It really brings out your skin tone . But I think this next one might suit you even better . " As he spoke , the bridal consultant beside him lifted the gown in her arms, holding it out for me to see . My heart skipped a beat . I'd been eyeing that dress earlier . However , the consultant had told me it wasn't available for rent , only for purchase . The price tag was a jaw - dropping 800 thousand dollars , a piece from one of the world's top designers . So , I let it go . I never imagined Sean's taste would line up so perfectly with mine . He caught my hesitation and spoke in a voice softer than I'd ever heard from him . " I want you to be the happiest , most beautiful bride in the world on our wedding day , Mrs. Lennon . " Honestly , who wouldn't melt a little hearing something like that ? I suddenly remembered the Lennons were a powerhouse name in high society . Showing up in a rented dress worth a few thousand bucks would be handing the gossip columnists a field day . So , I stopped second - guessing . When I stepped out of the fitting room in the new gown , Sean's eyes lit up for just a heartbeat before he masked it with his usual cool composure . " This is the one . Wrap it up . "
