"Molita?" she blurted, nearly dropping the bag in her hands.
"Oh my God, Ashley!" Molita's eyes widened in surprise before her face broke into a bright smile. The two women hugged tightly. "Where have you been? You look amazing!" she gushed.
Ashley chuckled, her gaze drifting to the auburn-haired woman standing beside Molita. Forcing an awkward smile, she waited for an introduction.
"Oh, forgive me, both of you!" Molita said quickly. "Rebekah, this is Ashley. Ashley, this is Rebekah—my friend and soon-to-be Mrs. Dudley," she added, practically squealing.
Rebekah blushed, smiling shyly. She was used to Molita announcing her engagement to anyone willing to listen, and it always amused her.
Ashley's eyes widened. "Your brother is getting married?"
"Of course! Some goddess finally swept him off his feet."
