I was bracing myself for a tight squeeze around the waistline, ready to suck in my breath so Christine could fasten the buttons. I figured, once I return the dress, I’d slim down a bit, and by the wedding day, it would fit just right.

Christine nodded in understanding. She opened the door to call in the owner.
