I hope I didn’t disturb your rest," the woman greeted her with a welcoming smile."Good morning," Bella replied, a bit confused by the new person, and still adjusting to being addressed as "Mrs. Carter."

As you already know, Reid whisked me away to Morocco, and it was like a dream. But, you know, reality kicks in eventually."Lily nodded knowingly. "And where are you two lovebirds nesting in California?"Bella's eyes sparkled as she shared, "We're crashing in one of Reid's penthouses for now.
