Bonus 10: Two Days Before

Nina

It was two days before my wedding. The house was quiet, a lull of calmness in the storm of preparation. I was at home that evening, half lost in the endless list of last-minute arrangements and half lost in daydreams. Enzo was out, running some errands.

I didn’t expect anything out of the ordinary. But as it turned out, I was in for a huge surprise.

A knock echoed through the house, the sudden sound pulling me from my musings. I opened the door to find Jessica and Lori grinning mischievously.

“Hey, guys,” I said, opening the door a little wider. “I wasn’t expecting you-”

“Grab her!” Jessica shouted.

Before I could react, Lori grabbed me by both arms. A bridal sash was thrown over me, a tiara was plunked on my head, and I was unceremoniously dragged out of my house.

I glanced over my shoulder, certain that Enzo would come home and think that I was kidnapped. And technically, I supposed that I was kidnapped.

“Wait, what’s going on?” I stammered as they pulled me into a car, laughing at my confused state.

“You’ll see.” Jessica winked as Lori began to drive down the road.

It wasn’t long before we were pulling into town. My confusion quickly dissolved into shock and then bloomed into delight as we parked alongside the local club. Lori and Jessica put their hands over my eyes and guided me inside, where they pulled their hands away and shouted, “Surprise!”

There, amidst a sea of familiar faces was a large sign that read, ‘Nina’s Bachelorette!’
