Bonus Epilogue Chapter
Edaline's pov

-8 years later-

I stepped into Sophie's room to wake her up on her big day.
"Sophie" I said, shaking her shoulders, "wake up".
She groaned, covering her head with her blanket and mumbling 'another 5 minutes'; so then I did what a good mother had to do. I whipped off her blanket and opened the blinds, "Gosh Mooooooooooom!!" she yelled. frantically shielding her eyes from the bright sunlight.

"It's your big day Sophie you don't want to be late, plus Biana's going to kill you if you don't wake up right now." I reminded her, smiling. Biana chose to barge into the room right this moment and took a look at Sophie and screamed, high pitch and all.
"WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FREAK? YOU AREN'T EVEN UP AND DRESSED YET? GIRLY I LOVE YOU BUT IT STARTS IN LESS THAN 4 HOURS." Biana complained, dragging me out of bed like a sandbag.

"We're going to be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LATE if you don't get dressed NOW!!!" she demanded, I went into the dressing room to change.

Grady's pov

"Up more........... left a little bit.......... down 0.5cm............... perfect." I breathe a sigh of relief as the decorations look stunning and perfect. Flashbacks of Jolie's event came rushing back, a whirlwind of emotions hurling themselves at me.

I wasn't about to break down before my daughter's big event. Get yourself together Grady!

"HUNKYHAIR!!!!!! GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!!" a familiar voice shouts, followed by grass rustling.
"Hey Grady" Keefe calls over his shoulder as he runs towards the big tree and began to climb.

"KEEFE!! I SWEAR IF U CLIMB IN THAT SUIT I'M GOING TO—" Ro didn't even finish her sentence when she stalked to the tree and began climbing too.

"See? I knew you'd climb too." Keefe commented, smirking.

I laughed at their interaction, kids these days.

Edaline's pov

I poked around Sophie's old boxes while she was changing, I saw a big box without a label which is weird considering that she is quite an organized person. I dusted the box off and opened it, revealing lots of letters, keychains, photos, and the most recent one on top—a phone number.

The number is scrawled hastily with black pen on a piece of line paper that seems to be ripped off a page, its edges yellow due to age.

I heard a loud yell and a thump coming from the dressing room, "You girls okay in there?" I called, standing up from Sophie's bed. Laughter replied to me, girls. I chuckled.

I waited until Biana came out for hairpins to do her hair when I entered the room. "Sophie?"
"Hmm?" She looks beautiful in that off the shoulder dress with lace sewn on its edges, and the glass slipper on her feet glinting under the lighting.
"What box is it?" I ask, holding out the box.

She blinked at the contents the box held, once. Then twice. She looks at me with the look on her face, the one she shows us when something she forgets comes rushing back.

"Annabeth" she whispers, then dashed out of the door for her phone and dialed the number.

Heyyy I'm back to updating!! I guess this whole "Bonus Epilogue" thingy is gonna be quite long.... 😅😳
