Free Sweet on You (The Bridesmaids Club Book 4) by Leeanna Morgan

stopped swinging in the air since she’d sat down.
    Sally was in her element. Lotions and potions surrounded her and she couldn’t have looked happier. She visited The Beauty Box at regular intervals to have streaks added to her mahogany curls or to try something a little different.
    Sally smiled at Molly. “Kate will be ready to shampoo your hair soon.”
    Molly shook her head. “I don’t need my hair done. It’s so short that it looks after itself.”
    Tess’ reflection stared at them from the mirror in front of her. “I’ve booked everyone with Loretta and Kate. Enjoy the pampering, Molly.”
    Molly took another photo of Tess before she turned around. Kate was walking toward her with a determined look on her face.
    “Come on, Molly. Time to put that camera down and get your hair washed.”
    Molly glanced at herself in a mirror. “I look fine. Once I change into my bridesmaid’s dress and put a little color on my cheeks, no one will know that I haven’t had my hair done.”
    Kate flicked a bright pink cape in front of her and smiled. “I will. Anyone would think you didn’t like having your hair styled.”
    Molly looked at Tess, then at Sally. Both women smiled at her. “Where would you like me to sit?” she sighed.
    Kate grinned at her. “Come with me. I’ll look after you, I promise.”
    Molly had no doubt that Kate would do as she said. But it wasn’t Kate that worried her. It was her camera, or more accurately, the lack of a camera in her hands. When she didn’t have her camera with her, she felt as though something was wrong. It didn’t feel right if she wasn’t able to frame a view, change a light setting, or see the world through a special lens.
    Kate wrapped the cape around Molly’s shoulders and leaned her back against the basin. “What have you been doing since I last saw you at Dan’s birthday?”
    Kate was married to Dan Carter, the Deputy Chief of Police. Molly had gone to his birthday party about a month ago with Tess and Logan. It had been a lovely night and everyone had enjoyed the barbecue on his family’s ranch.
    “Molly’s going to exhibit some of her photos in a fancy gallery in Los Angeles,” Tess said. “It’s going to be amazing.”
    “When does this happen?” Kate asked.
    “In about five weeks,” Molly answered. Kate’s fingers pushed against her scalp. She closed her eyes and decided to enjoy having her hair washed.
    “Your photos are amazing. How is the rest of your business going?”
    “It’s working out fine. Better than fine.”
    Sally’s voice echoed across the hair salon. “Molly’s taking the real estate photos for Emerald Lake, the subdivision Jacob’s selling.”
    Kate rinsed Molly’s hair, then massaged conditioner into her scalp. “It’s a beautiful property. Dan and I had dinner with Jacob a couple of months ago. It must be difficult photographing everything.”
    Molly thought about the list of images she needed. “Jacob has narrowed down the photos he wants me to take. It makes it easier when the person you’re working for knows what they want.”
    A giggle erupted from the other side of the salon and Molly sighed. Stacey was happy about something and Molly knew it probably would have made a lovely photo.
    Kate rinsed her hair. “You can sit up now and see what you’ve missed. Just don’t tell Loretta that I didn’t let the conditioner soak into your hair.”
    Molly sat upright and looked around the salon. Loretta had pinned a circlet of white roses to Stacey’s hair. It looked beautiful. “I need to get a photo before Stacey destroys her flowers,” Molly said quietly to Kate.
    Kate nodded. Stacey’s hands were already patting the pretty arrangement. “I think that’s a wise move,” she whispered back. “But be quick. Tess is watching us.”
    Molly jumped out of the chair, picked up her camera, and took half a dozen photos in quick succession.
    Before Tess could say anything, Molly was sitting in another chair waiting for Kate
