Me – So this is a new text thread...

Garrick – You’re practically family.

Totally not missing that they hadn’t included Carter in this.

What the hell did that mean?

Me – But I’m not.

Garrick – Semantics. Suck it up, buttercup.

Me – I just snorted at hearing you say that aloud.

Ethan – what she said.

Alec – What they said.

Me – Where’s Talia?

Garrick – She has her own text thread with you. This is ours.

Me – Gotcha.

Me – Thank you for all the advice. I’ve gotta finish getting ready.

Garrick – You’ll knock him on his ass.

Garrick silenced notifications.

Alec – What Garrick said,

Ethan – Just have a good time. Anything goes wrong, call us.

I was shaking my head at them. And I was thanking my lucky stars that not only did I have Talia in my corner, but I also had them.

Made a girl feel super special.

Once the hot rollers were ready, I put them in my hair and started on my makeup.

I’ve become very adept at applying straight lines, and I was thankful for it.

With a smoky eye to enhance my mossy-oak-colored eyes, and dark eyeliner... it made them pop.

Once I had my dress on, my phone received another notification.

Carter – Be there in 15.

Me – Okay. I’m almost ready.

Carter – See you then.

Once my hair was ready, I sprayed a few things in it, and then flipped my head over, and shook my head five times.

Then, when I flipped it back over, it fell around my shoulders and down my back perfectly.

A pair of earrings I had gotten from Misty the year prior for Christmas went into my ears.

Spritzed some perfume on and then slid my feet into a pair of black peep-toed, three-inch heels.
