During the fourth week, they began talking about getting married and Aph resumed her wedding plans. Everyone was more than happy to give her their opinion and before it would have driven her crazy but she knows they're just as excited as she is so she lets them have their say.

Her biggest challenge is picking a date. She would love more than anything to do it now but even she knows it's just too soon.

So should they plan a Christmas wedding that is more than 2 months away or wait until spring? They had already decided to have it at Aaron's family home but didn't know exactly when.

During one of her afternoons at the Cafe', Aph sits in a back corner looking over wedding options while listening to a customer butcher one of her favorite Disney songs and sipping on a hot cup of jasmine tea. She glances up from time to time and watches Aaron and her friends move around the room helping customers and she can't help but appreciate how lucky she is.

Being stuck at the house had been pure torture except for Aaron's presence. Now that she's back amongst the living life is perfect.

Glancing back down at her tablet she starts to flip through flower options when she hears the chime for the front door ring. This is a frequent occurrence with the constant customer traffic but the energy rolling toward her is dark and malevolent.

She looks up from her tablet and toward the door. It's hard to see the new customer at first but the moment she sees his face her heart starts to beat hard in her chest and her protective instinct kicks in.

She pushes to her feet but before she can even take a step Aaron moves in front of her clearly unaware of their new visitor. He gently touches her arm to draw her attention.

Aaron could hear her heart beating frantically across the room and swears under his breath as he notices her eyes are white instead of their normal amber. "Aph what's wrong?"

She opens her mouth to speak but is interrupted by a deep male voice just behind Aaron's shoulder, "Well if it isn't the girl from the Halloween prank a couple of years ago. Aphmau isn't it? I kind of remember Lucinda talking about you in high school but didn't know it was you at that party. It looks like Laurence cheated. You know I don't remember feeling this kind of power coming from you then or any power for that matter. And this whole werewolf getup? I could tell Halloween was just a potion and here it was a costume. The tail and ears are real so what gives?"
