Upon seeing Joyce, Thea could easily see through her carefully applied makeup to the exhaustion beneath.

Joyce, I already know that the person you're marrying is Max. You asked me to be your bridesmaid over the phone, yet the wedding is being thrown together so hastily. You're reluctant about this marriage, aren't you?" she asked.

Being exposed, Joyce felt as if she had a lump stuck in her throat, her usual strong demeanor faltering as her eyes reddened. She felt a swell of frustration but didn't know where to start.

She was unwilling to let Kelly dictate the course of her marriage. As long as Joyce could point to Thea at the wedding and claim she had brought Max's first love to disrupt the ceremony. Emmalie would help her break free from this arranged marriage.

But now, facing her bext friend, Joyce felt uneasy. Ultimately, she couldn't convince herself to drag Thea down just to escape her own predicament. The last line of defense in her heart crumbled.

With a choked-up voice, Joyce confessed everything. "Thea, I'm so sorry. You should leave while you still can."

Little did Joyce know, after what happened when they were eighteen, it was difficult for Thea to forge friendships. For Thea Joyce's sudden honesty was more of a relief than a burden.

At the wedding venue, the Rowland and Maddox families were busy welcoming guests, hardly able to keep up with the commotion.
