"Felicia, come right back once you and Conrad finish the paperwork. We'll celebrate properly and hash out the wedding details," Jacqueline seemed more excited than I was.

"Sure!" I replied.

Jacqueline looked at me. "You look stunning today. A white coat would have been more striking."

"I'm wearing a white dress already," I explained.

I smiled, feeling a warmth in my heart.
