A few minutes later, the door opened - finally - and a tall, attractive man stepped into the limo. I squinted at the dark-haired man seated across from me. Is that what he looked like? I honestly couldn't remember. It's not like I had really seen him much since our wedding God knows how long ago.

"Miss Ava? Miss, wake up. We have
arrived."
I opened my eyes to find the driver crouched next to me, shaking me slightly. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, ruining the makeup Isa, the housekeeper, had helped me apply

Thanking the driver, I grabbed my too-small-to-actually-fit-anything clutch and walked slowly into the grand hall. The moment I entered, I was attacked by a bear hug.
"Ava! Finally!" Olivia, my best friend, exclaimed. "Always so punctual."
"Hey, it wasn't my fault this time.
Someone decided to arrive 45 minutes
late."
