The soft hum of ocean waves drifted through the open window, mingling with the early morning breeze scented with salt and flowers. Larissa’s eyes fluttered open, momentarily disoriented by the pale, sheer canopy above her. Then it hit her, her wedding day.
She sat up abruptly, her heart racing. Today she would marry Jasper,the man she once thought would be just a memory from a one-night stand, now her forever.
Before she could spiral into pre-wedding jitters, her phone buzzed on the nightstand. A message from Sydney:
“Rise and shine, bride-to-be! I’m coming over with coffee and no-nonsense pep talks.”
Larissa smiled. Trust Sydney to know exactly what she needed. She stretched, breathing deeply, allowing the sound of the ocean to soothe her nerves. Today is going to be perfect.
