❝ "Good morning, Julia," Susannah enters my room with a glass of orange juice. It must be freshly pressed, since she hated the boxed juice.

I'm already awake, lying in bed, scrolling through my Instagram feed. I smile at her, "Good morning, Susannah."

She sits down on the edge of my bed, "Are you ready for your big day?"

"Not at all, " I shake my head. I was so nervous, thinking about every possible scenario. Maybe I trip and fall in front of everyone, how embarrassing.

Susannah tries to calm me down, "Oh, yes, you are."

"What if I trip?" I talk about my concern. "You won't," she simply says, but it's enough to make me stop thinking about it, "Just hold on to Jeremiah's arm. He won't let you fall."

Jeremiah and I have been pretty low-key about us. We just acted as usual, but we sneaked in a kiss, whenever no one was looking. I was happier than I ever was before. He was great, perfect honestly. All my dreams came true this summer, I just couldn't believe it.

I laugh softly, "That's true."

"You know, I still can't believe you got him to go with you. He swore up and down he'd never go to one of these things," she smiles at me, making me blush at her words.

"He said he doesn't mind," I tell her. She puts one strand behind my ear, "Well, he'd do anything for you."

We smile at each other and it felt so warm. "I love you so much, my beautiful girl."

"Okay, now, meet me downstairs. I'm going to wake up your sister."

I get downstairs, still in my pajamas since Susannah told me to be super quick. I see the white dress Belly wanted so badly in the store hanging in the living room, Belly standing in front of it smiling so brightly.

"Jules, look, they really got me the dress!" Belly laughs and I give her the biggest hug.

Mom is emotional, hugging the both of us, a tear streaming down her face, "It's so hard to let you guys go."

"We're not going anywhere, mom. We love you!" I tell her as I wipe a tear off her face.

I get ready and change into some comfortable clothes, that I can wear until I need to change into my dress at the country club. I'm on my way to the kitchen to grab a bowl of cereal and meet Belly on the way, so we enter the room together.
