Book2 Chapter1
To everyone’s surprise, just as I caught the wedding bouquet, my boyfriend abruptly rushed out and left me behind.
Luckily, the wedding went on unaffected by the little scene.
Though distressed by my boyfriend’s left, I still genuinely happy for Emma.
After seven years of an on-and-off relationship with her ex, she finally ended things when he cheated on her for the third
and final time.
Now fate smiled upon her again when she met her husband
on a blind date.
They hit it off instantly, leading them to a whirlwind
romance that ended in a marriage.
I, on the other hand, ended up being the last one in our group
not yet married.
So today, everyone waited for me to catch the bouquet.
Book2 Chapter1
“Liz, I’m so sorry that Leo would just walk out like that,” Emma consoled me after finishing her toasts.
Our old classmates trailed behind her and tried to put good
words for Leo, afraid I’d be upset over his sudden departure.
“Never mind.”
I said with a wry smile and downed my drink.
The alcohol hit me, momentarily clouding my thoughts and stirring memories I almost forgot.
Back then, I had been so sure of my future that I wore a wedding dress for my graduation photos that year. And Leo stood beside me, joyfully announcing to everyone that I was his most cherished gift.
Even now, during every graduation season, someone still recounted the tale of me and Leo.
Everyone assumed I’d get married right after graduation.
But seven years have passed, this most treasured gift remains unacknowledged–we haven’t gotten married.
