CORA"I think we can start the party now," Annie announced, raising her glass, but before others could scream, the door flung open."Not without me."I shared a look with Annie as mumbles filled the air. Candice strolled into the room with a wide smile on her face."Why is she here?" Annie whispered to me.Candice looked around, her smile not wavering."Why do you all look surprised to see me?I forced a tight-lipped smile."I wasn't expecting you."Her smile widened. "Well, I'm your friend, right?"We weren't friends. She was more or less an acquaintance."We thought you would be at the bachelor's eve, after all, Leon is your best friend," Annie pointed out.Candice turned to her. "I'll rather support my friend's bride."Annie scoffed. "Is that why you're wearing the same dress as the bride?

I couldn't even tell how many minutes I'd been standing outside, begging him to come out so we could talk.After leaving the hotel, I went straight to our house only to find my things carefully packed outside. Every single thing.
