Emma Winters stood outside the building where the wedding reception was being held—an event she had reluctantly agreed to attend, thanks to her friend Ivy. “This feels like a terrible idea. I don’t even know these people,” she grumbled, smoothing down the cocktail gown she had been convinced to wear, courtesy of Ivy.“You don’t need to know them,” Ivy chimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “What you need is to get out of the house and stop wallowing in self-pity. You’ve been ghosting me for days, and I’m not having it anymore. Weddings are fun! Trust me.”Emma’s arms instinctively folded across her chest, her lips forming a tight line as she regarded Ivy with a mix of annoyance and appreciation.

Could she really just pick up and start over in a completely different city?Though she had been the one to bring up the idea of leaving Florittle but could she go to Zeden and work as Iv

Chris’s lips curled into a soft, knowing smile. But his eyes searched hers carefully, as if giving her the space to change her mind.“Are sure about that?” he asked and Emma nodded.“Sure.
