"What engagement? How come I didn't know anything about it?" Sophie asked Colby, feigning surprise. The moment she walked into the Aldridge Estate, she knew something fishy was going on.
But she didn't believe for a second that Colby was behind it.
"Babe, I'm really feeling wronged here," Colby said with a pained look. "When they dragged me downstairs, all they told me was to change my clothes. No one mentioned it was an engagement party."
"They?" Sophie eyed Adler and Jenna, raising an eyebrow. "Are these the 'they' you're talking about?"
Put on the spot, Adler gave an awkward smile. Beside him, Jenna looked equally sheepish, like a kid caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
"Well, it's because the last engagement party was a mess, right? We just wanted to take this chance to do it over, but who knew..." she trailed off.
No one expected that James would show up and cause a scene!
Sophie turned back to Colby. "So, it wasn't your idea? And here I thought you were planning a surprise engagement party for me."
But this time, it was all surprise and no delight.
Colby playfully pinched Sophie's nose. "Who said I didn't have something planned for you? It's just that they took matters into their own hands this time and nearly ruined everything."
"No way! If you were planning your own engagement party, why didn't you tell us?" Adler was flustered; Colby always looped him in for big events like this.
Now, here Colby was, planning it all solo without a peep. It felt like his role as a best friend didn't matter at all!
Jenna gently tugged Adler's arm. "Calm down. Remember the cruise ship confession? We had no clue about that either."
"...That's true," Adler grumbled, pursing his lips in frustration.
He couldn't stand anyone being more romantic than him, not even his best buddy!
