“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Japan! Nihon e youkoso! We will be landing in five minutes. Please stay in your seats. Thank you.”Bridgette removed her purple sleep mask after hearing the announcement. Half of the almost twelve-hour flight she was asleep. She wasn’t able to get a lot of sleep the past few days because she needed to prepare for the convention. On top of that, they were also busy with their wedding preparations that’s about to happen three months from now.Her attention was drawn to the brilliant oval-cut sapphire ring on her finger, which resembled Kate Middleton's engagement ring. She immediately blushed and smiled as she recalled Troy’s simple wedding proposal to her.Troy invited him to go to the beach one fine day. He told him he wanted to unwind because they’ve always been busy managing their business together.
