Maria stepped aside, allowing Gernard to enter first, followed by Gavin.
Gavin, hands casually in his pockets, glanced at Selena and asked, "Why aren’t you asleep yet?"
Selena grinned. "I’m too excited! I’m getting married tomorrow, and I can’t sleep."
Gavin snorted softly. "Ridiculous."
Selena pouted in response. "You’ll eat those words, brother. When it’s your turn to get married, you’ll be too excited to sleep, too!"
Gavin scoffed at the idea, dismissing her words entirely. The thought of being too excited to sleep before a wedding? Impossible.
Selena, not wanting to argue further, turned away and brought two glasses of water over to them.
"Where’s Mr. Cooper?" she asked Gernard.
"Dad’s abroad at an important meeting," Gernard explained. "He’ll probably only make it back tomorrow."
Selena nodded understandingly. "If it’s too rushed, he doesn’t need to come. I don’t want him to overexert himself."
Gernard smiled softly. "I’ll let him know."
Selena was genuinely happy—her family had grown by two more brothers.
As time passed, the excitement eventually gave way to exhaustion.
By the middle of the night, Selena felt exhaustion creeping in. She glanced at the clock, realizing that morning was fast approaching and the bridal preparation would be arriving soon.
Sleep wasn’t really an option.
Maria noticed and said, "Go rest for a bit. I’ll wake you when it’s time."
Selena yawned, nodding. "Alright, thanks."
She managed to catch a short nap, barely an hour and a half, before being woken up. The makeup artist was already there, ready to start.
