Salvatore Boarding House

Me, Jo, Elena, and Bonnie are preparing for the wedding in one of the studies in the boarding house.

Jo is rushing around the room as she searches for something.

Crap, they're not here. "She said.

Elena looks up at her as she fills a glass with champagne.

What's wrong? "I asked Jo.

My shoes! My gorgeous, ridiculously expensive, wear-them-once-and-then-never-again shoes. They are missing. "She said panicking.

Do you want me to do a locator spell? "Bonnie asked.

On my shoes? "Jo asked confused.

Mm-hmmm. "Bonnie hummed.

Is that possible? "Jo asked.

I don't know, actually. Just hang on, I got to figure out how to work this stupid thing. "Bonnie said sighing.

She is helplessly trying to get a garment steamer to turn on, and accidentally pulls the hose out.

I laughed.

Jo looks alarmed and frustrated as she sighs.

Oh, good, break it! Because my wrinkled dress will surely distract everyone from my bare feet. "Jo said sarcastically.

Elena turns to calm Jo down.

Hey, hey. Come on. Don't waste all your panic now! You still have eight hours until the ceremony. "Elena said.

She offers her a glass.

Non-alcoholic mimosa? "She offered.

One, a non-alcoholic mimosa is just an orange juice. And two, I can't drink. Somebody should drink. You should drink. "Jo told her.

I will drink, eventually. But, I have human tolerance now, which is cheaper but a lot less fun. "Elena said smiling.

Elena and Jo clink their glasses together.

Cheers. "They said.

I rolled my eyes.

Jo's cell phone suddenly rings, and Elena lunges for it to answer it for her.

Oh. oh! Relax. "She said.

She answers the call.

Jo's phone. Oh, huh. Okay. "Elena said.

I arched an eyebrow.

That's not an "okay" okay. That's a "there's a problem" okay. "Jo said panicking.

Yeah, we'll call you back. Bye. "Elena said.

She hangs up the phone and awkwardly hesitates for a moment before she turns to Jo.

Danielle's got the flu. "She said.

Jo smiles tightly.

Huh. It sounded like you just said, "Danielle has the flu," which is impossible, because Danielle is my wedding coordinator. "Jo said.

Yeah. "Elena said.

Well, how sick is she? Can she still work? "Jo asked.

Well how much vomit you want to have at the wedding. "I said jokingly.

She gives me a look.

I shrugged.

Jo walks away and starts to pace around the room, but she stops when she hears a voice.
