I don't think Pam really knew what to think when I showed up on her doorstep. But like the sweetheart she is, she went along with my crazy idea. I handed over a bag of clothes for the kids, hugged Pam, gave Katy a kiss and hurried off before I could change my mind.

Helps that I really didn't have much time to think. This was one time where I wish Joe and I were on better terms. It sure is handy having a pilot in the extended family. But not this time.

As it is I arrived with barely any time to spare. Raced to Carolyn's to drop off Bella, changed and got to the hotel and the red carpet. While I'm waiting, I'm a bundle of nerves, in fact I can't remember the last time I felt quite this nervous. I keep glancing at my watch, watching the minutes tick off. Simon promised he'd be here on time.

And then the car pulls up and I know before the door is opened that its him. Smoothing my hands over my dress I hold my breath and wait until he steps out. And when he finally appears I feel that familiar charge of electricity run through me. He's beautiful.

And when he sees me step out from behind the crowd of people between us; he's surprised.

But is he happy?
