Mary was shaking Gisele awake as the girls heard Roger arguing with Brian about the situation going on in between him and his wife. Leilani shook her head, her phone vibrating against the palm of her hand. She looked down to stare at the lightened up screen, the name of Ben the first thing she saw.

"Mary?" Gisele woke up immediately when she saw her friend standing next to her. "What the hell are you doing here?" Her eyes trailed towards over to Leilani and Lucy who were staring at her right back. They both held an innocent look as if telling her they weren't responsible for this. She sighed, running her temple. "You called Deaky didn't you?"

"It was actually me who called him," Mary said, sitting down on the bed. "He needed to talk some sense into Roger. Brian also came."

"Feels like old times doesn't it?" Gisele smiled a little before she sniffed and tears blurred her vision again. "With all of us together. Just this time we need Freddie and Jim. I miss those two. Jesus."

"What happened?" Mary questioned, grabbing the woman's hand. "What started the fight?"

"He got jealous!" Gisele exclaimed. "He got jealous because he thought I was "flirting" with the fucking cashier. I just asked him how his day was going, Roger thought of it as flirting! We've been together for 38 years dammit!"

The girls looked at each other before they heard Gisele sob. They immediately rushed over to her as she covered her eyes with her hands, the wedding ring shining under the light. When she went to grab the tissue Mary was giving her, she noticed the ring. She took it off.

"Give this to him," Gisele said, her face emotionless as her eyes were puffy with sadness. She gave the ring to Leilani. "Just... Give it to him."

"Leilani," Mary started. "The promise that you both promised to each other."

"What promise?" Lucy questioned.

"To never take off the ring," Leilani answered as if something just hit her. "The part with Freddie and Mary in the movie... The one where he got upset over the ring... It was you and Roger. You guys promised each other."

"Well it was for both of us," Gisele sighed, her shoulders dropping. "Mary and I... We both promised. But, Roger and I we were dancing and he held my hand, telling me to promise to never take this ring off despite how mad I am at him. He told me saw a shooting star, our wedding was outside, and the only thing he wished for was for us to always be happy and in love."

"You want me to give him this?" Leilani asked, hoping for the woman to say no. But of course, Gisele said yes.

"Give it to him."

"Okay."

Leilani got out of the room, all the boys looking at her with curious faces. Roger looked at her with an intense stare.

"She wanted me to give you this," Leilani cleared her throat, passing the ring to Roger. Roger looked at it before he shook his head.

"No," he said. "No. No. I'm fixing this right now."

They couldn't stop Roger anymore and they just let him go. He opened the door, looking at Lucy and Mary and asked them if he could talk to Gisele alone. Ben stood next to Leilani, the both staring at the door.

"This is gonna go okay," Ben reassured, holding Leilani's hand tightly against his. "They're gonna be okay and we're gonna enjoy this day. And... They're gonna be okay."
