Book3 Chapter2.
The next day, I woke up late. By the time I had packed my things and slung my sketchbook over my shoulder, it was already past lunchtime. Grace waved me over.
"Sienna, we saved some food for you."
Everyone was chatting at the wooden table in the courtyard. As soon as Jessica saw me, she dashed into the house and came back out holding an orange envelope, offering it to me like a treasure.
"Sienna, since we don't have many close family members, we'd like to formally invite you to our wedding."
A formal invitation. I took the envelope but didn't have the courage to open it and look at the card inside. Jessica kept nudging me, "Sienna, you're an artist, right? Can you tell us how the design looks?"

"Let me see. This color is lovely," Grace chimed in quickly.
"I think so too! Ethan picked this orange. I had chosen purple, but the orange turned out better. Sienna, what's your favorite color?"
I put down my sketchbook and pointed to my orange outfit.

"Sienna, you have the same taste as my Ethan!"
My Ethan.
Those words pierced my heart. Once upon a time, Ethan used to proudly call me "My Sienna" in front of everyone.
Seeing the change in my expression, Grace quickly took the invitation from my hand.
"The little cartoon inside looks just like you-so cute. Is the wedding at sunset?"
