About Last Minute Fiance
This story begins with a drunk-fest birthday party for Devney. Heath created a signature drink for the party and everyone, and I mean everyone, has overindulged in them. They are sweet, like a dessert, and the attendees are downing them like juice. Everyone is feeling no pain, including Luca and Addison.
They decide to share an Uber home, but instead of saying goodnight and proceeding to his home, Luca gets out and walks Addison to her door. Yes, he’s being a gentleman, but next thing we know, he and Addison are making out and moving to the bedroom.
The next morning, they agree it was a one-time event and they are still best friends. Until a positive test changes everything.
Addison is up for a big promotion at work. She’s vying for this position against her ex-boyfriend. When he announces he has a fiance, Addison tells him she does as well. He calls her out and she tells him Luca is her fiance. Unfortunately for her, her boss hears this announcement and insists she brings him with her to the team event.
Unknowingly, Luca is speaking with his partner about his weekend with Addison at her company event and how the “fake fiance” act went, when Addison’s boss’s wife hears all of it. She is appalled at their deception and walks out of the Veterinary Clinic. Luca tries calling Addison and when he can’t reach her, he texts her. But it’s too late. She has already walked in to the firing squad with no idea why.
I was impressed with how Addison handled the “firing squad”. You know the old adage about Karma? Well it proves to be true and not a myth a little while later. The Ex. The Boss. The Company. Yeah, Karma. Meanwhile, Addison is thriving professionally and personally. As is Luca. And their baby. The best quote from Luca at the end of Last Minute Fiance is “… a lovely afternoon of giggling and screaming their little heads off. Although at 3 months I didn’t know if it was giggling and smiling or them just filling their diapers.”
Narration
I thoroughly enjoyed Jason Clarke as Luca. His gruffness and yet his sweetness. Man oh man. Talking wet dream. Callie Dalton portrays Addison beautifully. Her strength and yet her vulnerability.
