136 So Frustrating (Winona)

The past week has been a whirlwind of emotions. Jayden's recovery is progressing well, and he's now able to sit up and has taken a few steps on his own. He's been allowed to go home to continue his recovery.

This should be a time of joy and relief, but I feel a knot of anxiety in my stomach.

I glance at the invitation in my hand, my heart sinking. "Engagement Party for Jayden and Winona!" it reads in bold letters. My stomach churns. Anne gave it to me. I knew nothing about this party.

I find Jayden in the living room, talking animatedly with Lance. He looks up, smiling when he sees me, but his smile fades when he notices the look on my face.

"Winona, what's wrong?" he asks, his eyebrow raised.

I hold up the invitation, my hand trembling. "What's this, Jayden? An engagement party? You didn't even ask me!"

Lance awkwardly excuses himself, sensing the tension. Jayden's expression shifts from concern to frustration. "I thought it would be a nice surprise. I wanted to celebrate us, our future."

"A surprise?" I echo, my voice rising. "You think throwing an engagement party without talking to me first is a nice surprise? Jayden, this is a huge decision! You can't just make plans like this without me."
