Months go by and (Y/n) had gotten to know Daisy more while becoming close friends with the bubbly woman as well. She also got closer to Eddie in a way as she got to know more about him bit by bit as he liked to keep to himself. So far she knew that he was raised in a Christian household, no siblings and spoke about his mother often. He never talked about his father though which she found a bit strange but (Y/n) chose to brush past it as she didn't know what his relationship with his father is like so she couldn't judge. Eddie seemed to keep his past life when he was younger to himself as not even Daisy knew what his childhood was like.(Y/n) felt her feelings for him grow a bit stronger over the past few months but she had a feeling that Eddie didn't have any interest with her, just like every other that she has like over the years. Even though she knew that the two would never date, she chose to enjoy their close friendship while it lasted. No matter how much his charming smile and handsome face made her heart beat faster and fall head over toes for the tailor.

(Y/n) was busying herself with organizing the shelves a bit before she sees the freelancer, Miles, walk in and look around. She arched a brow as she watched the man look at each person in the store skeptically. "May I help you with something?" She asked while approaching him. Miles turns and sees her and clears his throat.

"Well, uh, no. I'm just here browsing is all." He said casually, playing it cool as he looked over the makeup.

"Didn't take you for one to like makeup." She said with her brow still arched as Miles blushed lightly, "What are you really here for?" Miles opens his mouth to lie again and noticed how the look on (Y/n)'s face said that she wasn't going to believe another lie. He sighed as he jammed his hands in his jean pockets.

"Okay listen-."

"Listening." She cut him off and he glared at her slightly in irritation and she smirked.

"Anyway, I was just scouting the area. Been here for a good amount of time to notice how the rate of missing persons have dropped suddenly." He said as he took out his journal, "Like, the kidnapper was so active some months ago. Taking at least 3-4 women every month or so for that last 5 years, according to records. Now, suddenly they just stopped. Last person reported missing was that high school student, Hailey Rockwell, and that was months ago." He looked up from his journal at (Y/n), "Doesn't that sound weird?" He asked as (Y/n) thought about it. She hasn't really noticed much since she arrived sometime after Hailey went missing that week. But hearing the statistics, she did notice how strange it was that the kidnapper would just suddenly stop after years of abducting women from the streets.

"That is weird..." (Y/n) murmured as she tapped her chin and looking to the side in thought before looking back up at Miles, "What are you doing here then?" She asked.

"So I did my research as said before the last couple of months and noticed how every woman that went missing were regulars here or expecting some kind of big formal event, mostly weddings." Miles claimed as (Y/n) thought.

'Weddings... Wait... Eddie.' She thought to herself with slightly wide eyes as she looked at Miles.

"You don't think it's Eddie do you?" She asked as Miles gave her a slightly perplexed look of confusion before realizing who she meant.

"The tailor down the street? Well, at first I did. So I interviewed him," He pauses as she looked at him with suspense, "But he had an alibi for every disappearance so he's checked out." He said as (Y/n) breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank god." She sighed as Miles nodded.

"Yeah, and I don't think that Daisy lady has anything to do about it. I mean, look at her. She's all rainbows and sunshine." He said as (Y/n) laughed a little and nodded.

"She is."

"Anyway, just came by to check up on things here." He said as he looked at her, "Just let me know if you notice anything weird. Alright?" He asked as (Y/n) nodded. Miles nodded as well and dismissed himself as he left the shop. Squeezing past Eddie as the tall man was walking through the door. "Sorry." Miles grunted as he squeezed past and left. Eddie watched him with his brow arched before walking in.

"Hello, (Y/n)." He greeted with a smile to (Y/n) that made her heart flutter as she smiled back.

"Hey, Eddie." She said as he walked over, "Another order pick up?" She asked as Eddie nodded.

"Yes, and I have a request for you." He said as (Y/n) looked at him in slight surprise.

"For me?"

"Yes, for you, darling." He said with a soft laugh. She blushed at the pet name and shook it off while clearing her throat.

"R-Right. I'll go get your order first." She said before hurrying off to Eddie's things. (Y/n) took steady breaths to calm herself down and make her blush go away. She comes back with his order and hands it to him, "Here you go."

"Thank you." Eddie said with a smile and handing her the check as she smiled softly back, "Anyway, for my request." He said as he placed the box on the counter, "I client whose wedding is coming up but she won't be able to make it for her dress fitting later today as she's very ill. I know this is last minute but can you take her place? You two are around the same height and have the same physique." He said as he smiled casually at her and she's taken back by his request. She bit her lip in thought, glancing to the side and back up at his blue eyes. His invitation is innocent enough as he smiled at her that made her heart flutter.

"Just a fitting?" (Y/n) asked softly.

"Just a fitting." Eddie confirmed with a nod, "I only need to see if the dress fits and make final adjustments." He said. The two stared at one another for a short moment before (Y/n) nodded with a small smile

"Alright." She said softly as Eddie smiles at her.

"Great, so come later this evening as I won't have any clients for the day." He informed as she nodded, "Thank you, (Y/n). See you later then." Eddie said with a bright smile at her as he began to leave. (Y/n) waved slightly as the man left and she sighed softly to herself.

'This evening should be interesting...'
