But that's exactly what she's doing.
Someone doesn't want me to be married before Dove. I peer at her, thinking over the possibilities. Has Celeste sucked Dove back into her orbit? My sister is so desperate for little crumbs of love that she's happy to take anything Mother has to give. No matter how many times she's been hurt.
"Thank you for the suggestions, then." I let my lips twist up into a smile, pretending to believe the lie she's spinning. "But I'm happy with Grace, and we're happy with our choices."
She plasters a fake smile across her face. "Okay, then."
I’m already taking steps toward the door, desperately needing to get away from my mother. I wanted to make sure she left Grace alone, but all I did by coming here was get myself worked up.
"Oh, and Asher." She stops me before I can reach for the handle.
"Yes, Mother?"
"Make sure you sign a good prenup. She seems like a gold digger."
I don't acknowledge her with a response. If only she knew that Grace was absolutely in this for the money and she's already signed a contract.
But she's the furthest thing from a gold digger.
