As Valerie, Marcus, Serenity, and Laura traveled to the church, they all smiled, but each was lost in their own thoughts.

Marcus glanced at the rearview mirror and saw his little gir–his Serene–the same one who used to take out her mother’s wedding dress and put it on, saying it was beautiful…

A lump formed in his throat. He couldn’t wrap his head around how that six- or seven–year–old girl was now a

Laura, as soon as she got into the car, carefully adjusted Serenity’s dress, making sure the veil and train were perfect. As the car moved along the road, she stared out the window, lost in memories of how deeply in love she had been–or maybe still was with her daughter’s father.

She couldn’t help but envy her sister, though not out of malice. A part of her wished she could have been in her place, even just once.
