The first day back at the studio, Eloise called everyone together for a quick meeting-but not before handing out a little "welcome back" Starbucks gift card to kick things off.

She then laid out the work plan for the next month.

After the meeting, Sylvia headed to her desk and immediately shot Naomi a message: “Don't you dare skip breakfast today."

Naomi's reply came back almost instantly.

“Had a new doctor today—she's awesome. Honestly, after talking to her, I'm not feeling so down anymore, so quit worrying. The only problem is Edwin, I can't keep this from him much longer. He's threatening to drive up here and drag me back down the mountain himself."

"Hang in there," Sylvia replied, but she couldn't help but frown.

Didn't Chris say his friend was a guy? When did the doctor switch to a woman?

Well, whatever-at least Naomi sounded okay. She made a mental note to treat Chris to dinner soon.

Sylvia had just put her phone down when it buzzed again—another unknown number.

She answered, and a deep, no-nonsense voice boomed through the line.

"This afternoon. Come try on the wedding dress."

It wasn't a question. It was an order.
