Romina didn't wake until nearly noon the next day her hunger finally dragging her out of sleep.

She'd drunk so much the night before but barely eaten a thing. That empty stomach might've been the reason she got so drunk. Now that she was well- rested, she wasn't even hungover- just a little sore, but nothing she couldn't handle.

Realizing she was still in last night's evening dress, Romina made her way to the bathroom, took a hot shower, changed clothes, and slowly walked downstairs. But even before she reached the bottom step, she noticed something strange. Her parents, her brothers, and her grandfather were all sitting in the living room. No one was speaking. The whole house felt tense and quiet.

Why wasn't anyone talking?

Then she spotted River-in her house. And not just him-Serenity was there too. The living room was stacked with gift boxes, all decorated with bright red wedding symbols.
