Ivy bit her lip, trying to steady her breath. "I'm calling to inform you that I'll be having my wedding soon."

"Again?" he scoffed, and lyy could guess he was frowning. "Haven't you learned your lesson? After everything Mason did to you? He and his stupid family who didn't give a fuck about you! And now you're doing it again. Who's the unlucky fellow this time?"
