Counterfeit Bride
“Ramon was late, and at any moment the door behind could open and one of the nuns emerge, and ask what she was doing there.
For the umpteenth time she had to resist the impulse to adjust the wig. It was a loathsome thing, totally realistic, but hot and itchy. Orchid pink silky dress, strapped sandals with high heels in a matching kid, and two of Teresita's expensive cases as window dressing. The only thing out of place was the bulky leather bag on her shoulder, but it would just have to look inc...ongruous. It was her lifeline.
