“Con, this is your only shot in this lifetime! You don’t want to look back when you're old and realize you
don’t even have a video to remember your wedding by, do you?”
“It’s not every day you get to dress up like this. Might as well make the most of it, right? Just look at you-young
and gorgeous! Who wouldn't be jealous?”
The two of them kept teasing Stella until she finally burst out laughing.
“Here, have another bite. The kitchen’s making your favorite sweet dumplings-you’ll be full in no time.”
Queenie broke off another piece of cake for Stella and patted her on the head, doting on her like a little kid.
Stella squinted her eyes, cheeks puffed out with cake, looking just like a chubby little hamster.
Alessia could barely hold back her laughter as she cupped Stella's face and gave it a gentle shake.
Honestly, she couldn’t help but think her friends were the cutest people
she knew.
“By the way, how are your bridesmaid dresses? | haven't even seen them yet! You're all so busy, you had to go
try them on in shifts. Con, showalready!”
Stella spoke through a mouthful of cake, words muffled, but she still waved her hands, shooing them toward the
dressing room to try on their dresses.
“And where’s Penny? Why's she still not here? Lessie, didn’t you just cfrom the studio?”
“She said-"
“Right here! What's the rush?” Alessia had barely started when Penny

pushed open the door and walked in.
“Here, wedding gift.” Penny’s face was as unreadable as ever, but she handed over the gift box without
hesitation.
“Showing up and bringing gifts... well, aren’t you full of surprises.” Stella tried to fight the smile tugging at the
corners of her mouth, but it was a losing battle.
“What is it?” she asked, trying to sound casual.
There was always this strange mix of closeness and awkwardness between the two of them.
“That rare gcard you wanted,” Penny said simply. Technically, Penny had already done enough-she’d
designed Stella's wedding dress for free-but she’d still gone out of her way to find this gift, something Stella had
only mentioned in passing.
Alessia and Queenie exchanged amused glances, then grabbed their dresses and headed off to change. With a
practiced ease, they left the en suite bathroom for Penny, knowing she'd need a place to get ready too.
Both Alessia and Queenie had rooms here at The Laines, even though they rarely stayed over. The housekeeper
kept them spotless, just in
case.
Once everyone was changed, the four of them showered each other with playful compliments. Alessia gave the
makeup artist a meaningful look, and the woman caught on immediately.
“Miss Laine, you've got three best friends to get ready after you. Should we pick up the pace a bit?”
“Sure, just make them all look gorgeous, alright? I'm counting on them to helpsteal the spotlight. The four of
us are going to be the belles of the ball!” Stella declared grandly, nearly knocking over her empty soup bowl in
the process.
With Stella-the star of the day-finally settled, everything moved along smoothly, everyone waiting for the
perfect moment to arrive.

“Dude, seriously? How long have you been at this? It's been hours! You're good to go!” one of his friends said,
