The morning sun cast a warm light over the breakfast table as Braeden, Helena, and Macey picked at their plates, the clinking of silverware punctuating their conversation. The scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the room, combining with the aroma of bacon and eggs.
"Helena, why don't you come by my house later?" Macey suggested, her eyes focused on her sister. "I've got some old things I'd like you to look through."
Helena hesitated, her fork suspended in midair as she considered the invitation. "I'll see if I'm available," she replied cautiously, glancing at Braeden for support.
In another room, Miguel's fingers drummed impatiently on the edge of his phone as he tried calling Angela again, frowning at the lack of response. Worried, he gathered the other groomsmen and proposed splitting up to search the island for her.

Meanwhile, Ash sat on her bed, tracing the jagged scar near her hairline with a fingertip as Amelia entered her room, a mischievous grin playing on her lips. "Ready for another round of pranks?"
"Sure, why not," Ash responded with a smirk, her eyes narrowing slightly. "You know, there's something cathartic about pulling one over on family members you can't stand."
"Tell me about it," Amelia agreed, rolling her eyes as they began plotting their next stunt.

Deep in the woods, Marina and Olive walked side by side, the sound of rustling leaves beneath their feet. Their conversation turned to Preston, and Marina's voice held a note of suspicion. "I don't trust him, Olive. There's something off about him."
Olive's expression flickered with hurt, and before she could stop herself, she blurted out, "Well, Yusuf's having an affair with Darrell, so that shows how good your intuition is!" She instantly regretted revealing the secret but was unable to take it back.

Back at the Manor, Preston grumbled under his breath as he worked on the seating arrangements, feeling overwhelmed by wedding planning. Helena entered, discussing the breakfast she'd had with Macey and Braeden. She searched for an excuse not to go to Macey's house later, but when Preston offered to let her help make wedding decisions, she reluctantly agreed to go. As the day unfolded, the tension between family members and friends continued to grow.
