My head still hurt, but there was no music playing. “I remember this.” I felt my hand run along his chest, his breath warm on the side of my face.

Your mom said I could plan the wedding. She doesn’t care, and between you and me I’m so relieved. It was going to be really hard to manipulate her into letting me make all the decisions anyway. – Macey.
