down this afternoon.”
     
                  “After all that dress shopping, you can accuse me of feeling down?” Kara hedged as she picked at a ball of fuzz on her vibrant red comforter.
     
                  “Not when we were shopping. I really only noticed it when Hayes was around. Tell me what’s wrong please.”
     
                  “Oh Michelle, it’s nothing serious,” Kara said with a sigh. “It’s just that, well, you and Hayes are so perfect together.”
     
                  “You’re not jealous are you?” Michelle asked in shock.
     
                  “No,” Kara said with a half smile. “It’s tempting sometimes, but no. I’m just a little lonely I guess. Ever since things with Jeff went the way they did, I’ve been thinking that maybe I’ll never find that once in a lifetime love.”
     
                  “Did you think he was it?” Michelle asked as she tried hard to keep a level tone in her voice.
     
                  She hadn’t really liked Jeff from the beginning, but she had tried to be supportive of her friend’s choice. Ever since the night Jeff hit Kara she had wished she had spoken up.
     
                  “Maybe at first,” Kara admitted, even though she felt silly considering that the relationship had ended with him screaming drunken obscenities and throwing her things onto Michelle’s front lawn. “He wasn’t like that in the beginning. It was like his personality changed when we moved in together. He started to think that he could control everywhere I went and everything I did. He even wanted me to quit my job and stop hanging out with you so much.”
     
                  “Really?”
     
                  “Yeah,” Kara’s voice trailed off as she slightly hung her head. “That was the final straw for me. That’s why we broke it off. It just seems impossible to find a guy that I’m attracted to that isn’t crazy.”
     
                  “Have you ever considered that you might be attracted to the wrong type of guy?” Michelle asked gently.
     
                  “Sure,” Kara admitted. “But what am I going to do about it? I don’t want to end up with a man I’m not attracted to and I certainly don’t want to be attracted to another guy that’s just going to hurt me. But hey! Why are we talking about me? You’re the one with wedding plans on the brain and a wedding just around the corner!”
     
                  Michelle sighed and accepted Kara’s change of subject. She wished her friend could find a good man. She wanted her to find a steady, stable man like Hayes, but Kara clearly wasn’t ready to talk about the possibility just yet.
     
                  “I think we’ve got pretty much everything worked out, actually. Hayes took care of the music and we’ve just found the most gorgeous dress ever. Thank you for talking me out of the sparkly one by the way, Kara.”
     
                  “I’ll talk you out of horrible dresses any day of the week,” Kara assured Michelle seriously. “So did you ever decide on the bridesmaid dress color?”
     
                  “It took a while,” Michelle admitted. “But I finally did.”
     
                  “Well?” Kara held her breath. “Tell me what color I’m wearing!”
     
                  “I’m going with the peach,” she said with a smile.
     
                  “Thank you so much!” Kara threw her arms around her friend. Not only was the color great on her, it would be so perfect for the early summer outdoor wedding. “Irregular hemline?” she asked hopefully.
     
                  “Yes,” Michelle answered with a mock sigh. “I went with your pick.”
     
                  “You didn’t have to, you know,” Kara said, suddenly worried that she’d
