Maggie flashed a dazzling smile, "Thank the stars for that fateful afternoon when I was sixteen, the day I met you!"
She also felt grateful for the fourteen points she'd scored on that day's quiz.
Morrison wrapped his arms around her, "I'm just as grateful!"
The Langston and the Sampson families were tying the knot, and the guest list read like a 'Who's Who' of J City's elite. Anyone with a name or a fortune had made their appearance.
Lance arrived with his father, who soon got caught up in conversation with some business associates. Seizing the chance to split, Lance wandered off to mingle with folks he knew.
Strolling through the garden, his eyes landed on Estelle and he was utterly transfixed, a look of enraptured admiration in his gaze.
He quickly pulled aside a bridesmaid he was acquainted with and whispered, "Do you know Estelle?"
With a friendly smile, she replied, "She's a friend of Maggie's."
"Could you introduce us?" Lance's eyes gleamed with a hint of mischief.
The bridesmaid hesitated, aware of Lance's reputation, "I don't know. She's Maggie's friend. If anything happens, how would I explain it to her?"
Lance, growing impatient, insisted, "It's broad daylight, we're in a crowd, what could possibly happen? I just want to meet her!"
"Okay, but don't you dare pull any stunts. Maggie's got a short fuse, and if you mess with her bridesmaid, she won't let you off the hook!" she warned with a grin.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen," Lance urged, "Please, just go get her. I'll be waiting in the castle's third-floor loft!"
The bridesmaid agreed and went off to find Estelle.
Sophia was busy taking pictures with Estelle when the bridesmaid approached and greeted them, "Estelle!"
Suddenly, a shadow flickered behind him, and before he could react, he felt a heavy blow to his neck!
His vision blurred, his body wobbled, and he crumpled to the floor.
A strikingly handsome man with an air of distaste emerged, looking down at the figure on the ground with disgust.
"What a lowlife, thinking he could even dream about my Estelle!"
At the sound, Estelle spun around and locked eyes with the man lurking in the shadows, her expression one of shock.
"Manley!"
His face lit up with a broad grin, "Estelle, darling!"

Dear author Lucy, may we please have updates. Thank you....
There's a song currently playing via YouTube and TikToc by LowDii "Touch Me Softly" that makes me think of Norah and Xavier (Gonzalez). Please, I'm looking forward to updates. Thank you for your writing....
May we please have updates. Thank you....
As the plot thicken. Adrian is done for and he can't try to control Norah, so he'd probably tattle to Janice who's gone for two weeks. Thank you soooo much for the updates....
These updates were too funny. Thank you so much for the updates....
I forgot to add Amy to the group of pregnant women,since she was the first. Emily and Sylvia better be careful since pregnancy is in the air....
Wow! This is great, both Estelle and Magdalen are pregnant at the same time and I hope that Xavier is Norah neighbor. Thank you for the updates....
