Chapter 176

• Sophia’s POV
• The morning of the wedding was bright and warm, the kind of day that makes you want to believe in fairytales. I stood in front of the full-length mirror in the small bedroom at the back of the church, staring at my reflection in disbelief. The white dress hugged my body perfectly, flowing down into soft waves of silk. My hands trembled as I reached up to adjust the veil, my breath catching in my throat.
• Jenny was behind me, smiling as she fussed over the last details. She looked radiant, glowing with the kind of happiness that only your best friend can have when she’s seeing you off into the next chapter of your life.
