Halfway down the aisle at St. Agnes Chapel in Sacramento, Guest stopped, turned and ran out of her own wedding. Outside, a cherry-red pickup was already waiting with the engine running: her three best friends since a cheap walk-up at 22. Beckett drives and cooks and jokes. Gideon, a family-law attorney, quietly handles every furious phone call. Bram, a music teacher, carries the guitar he was supposed to play the first dance on. The honeymoon lake house on Lake Tahoe is paid for, ten days, non-refundable, so the four of them go. All three have loved Guest for years and promised never to say it while she was engaged. She isn't engaged anymore.
