The Fitting

Odette has sewn every wedding dress, costume, and burial suit in three counties, and stitched everyone's happy ending but her own. Then the firefighter from across the green starts finding reasons to come through her door.

Callum Barrett doesn't want a fitting. He wants the shop locked, the lights low, and her told exactly what happens next, one deliberate thing at a time, until the woman who measures everyone else is the one being taken apart on her own worktable.

He's patient. He's specific. And when this town finds out, it'll be the same as an announcement in the paper, and he'd have taken out a billboard.
