For Rhiannon, with love. May you have lots of adventures!
If this strange day had taught Olivia anything, it was that she had been lying to herself about her feelings. She had never really fallen out of love with Jackson. The
realisation hit her like a thunderbolt.
Maybe I never will
.
But she still lived in Franklin Grove. He still travelled from movie set to movie set. None of the issues that had split them apart had changed.
They might still seem perfect for each other . . . but could it ever
really
work?

O
h my darkness!’ Ivy Vega collapsed on to her front doorstep with a moan. Resting her elbows on the knees of her black combat trousers, she
sighed. ‘I have never been so happy to be finished with a party.’
‘Wasn’t it wonderful, though?’ said her twin sister, Olivia Abbott, who sat down beside her. They were identical, apart from the fact that Olivia was grinning happily, and
favoured clothes like the bright pink skirt she was now rearranging.
Oh, and also the fact that Olivia was human, while Ivy was a vampire.
‘I couldn’t believe how perfectly it all went!’ Olivia said.
‘Are you kidding?’ Ivy snorted. ‘Groomzilla was in charge, remember?
Nothing
was going to go wrong.’
Yesterday, their dad had married Lillian Margolis, the glamorous vampire movie director. The twins had met her just a year earlier, when a huge Hollywood movie had come to film in tiny Franklin
Grove. Ivy couldn’t have been happier for her dad – Lillian was the perfect addition to their family – but the memory of his frantic wedding preparation was enough to make her
shudder.
How many weeks had it taken her dad to settle on exactly the right trim for the place cards at the reception tables? Ivy winced at the memory.
I think I’d rather eat garlic than ever
have to see another wedding invitation ever again!
It was no wonder she was exhausted now! Ivy shook her head at her sister. ‘How can you still be so perky? You may live in a different house, but I know you didn’t escape
that
much prep work.’
‘And it all paid off, every bit of it.’ Olivia swayed side to side, smiling dreamily. ‘Wasn’t it just the most romantic day ever? All those gorgeous colours – do
you remember that peach and silver swag?’
‘
Remember
it?’ Ivy let out a groan. ‘I have
nightmares
about it! They accidentally delivered the wrong colour the first time round. Dad almost
fainted
from
shock when he saw them. He ended up leaning against the wall, saying that he actually
hoped
he had gone colour-blind. If I hadn’t threatened to tip Strawberry HemoGlobules on to my
bridesmaid’s dress, I’m not sure he would have snapped out of it!’
‘He really came good in the end, though, didn’t he?’ Olivia stretched out her legs, her pink toenail polish sparkling in the sunlight. ‘I can’t think of a better
wedding planner. Even the peonies on the tables matched the colour scheme!’
Ivy felt her left eyelid begin to twitch dangerously. She wasn’t sure she could take any more wedding talk – especially now that the actual wedding was over.
Calm down
, she
told herself.
This nightmare can’t go on forever!
‘Yes indeed,’ she said dryly. ‘I may never stop swooning over the memories of the . . . “awesome” colour scheme.’
‘Oh, come on.’ Laughing, Olivia dug her in the ribs. ‘It was a day to remember! Even
you
have to admit that’s true.’
‘Well . . .’ Ivy sighed. ‘OK . . . It did kind of suck. In the good way.
Kinda
.’
‘See?’ Olivia beamed. ‘You had
fu-u-u-u-un . . .
’ Her last word broke off into a wide yawn.
‘Aha!’ Ivy shot upright and pointed triumphantly. ‘I
knew
it. You’re exhausted too!’
Olivia yawned again, not even
trying
to stifle it this time. ‘OK, you’re right. I never imagined that being a bridesmaid would be such hard
work
.’
‘You’re telling me.’ Ivy shook her head as she picked up all the confetti that had fallen from her hair on to her combat trousers. ‘Is this stuff made out of glue, or
something? I’ve showered twice this morning, and I still haven’t got it all out!’
‘Aww.’ Olivia grabbed her arm, forcing her to look up. ‘Did you ever think you’d see that?’
