After having their makeup done by professionals early in the morning, Marvin and Lindsay got restless and headed to the hotel first thing in the morning.
They called Quinn as they left, since they were used to calling her instead of Sam. The boy never answered, so they basically counted on her.
Quinn had just gotten out of bed when she received their call and was drowsily letting the makeup artist pretty her up.
"Yeah, both Sam and I are up. I'm having my makeup done, while he's still in the bathroom," she quickly answered. "Yeah, just head over without us. We'll be there before eight."
After hanging up, Quinn looked at her reflection in the mirror and was left wondering if it was a little too elaborate.
After all, she was not the star of the show.
Even her dress was changed—the matching couple set with Sam was now a sparkling chest gown. It was beautiful, but it was so showy she would be stealing the spotlight.
She could not resist asking just then, "Sam, are you sure I should wear this? It wasn't the dress I ordered with your mom!"
Sam was waiting for her in the living room.
He had actually surprised her earlier.
It was rare for him to wake earlier than she did, and she had quite a scare when he was nowhere in sight when she woke up.
When did he become an early riser?
Even during work days, the alarm would be left ringing repeatedly until he finally got out of bed grumpily.
Still, Quinn did not dwell on the issue—they should not drop the ball, since it was Sam's father's birthday.
Still, it took her a few times to finally get Sam's attention, as he seemed really distracted.
