	I bounce my leg up and down while I sit in my chair outside the house. I keep looking up and down the street, even though I know which way Caden is coming from. Even though I know we aren’t running late. Even though I know we’re going to be early. Yet I’m incredibly nervous. My body feels wired to blow. I pick at nothing on my [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/9f/f7/6f/9ff76f0ea2ecd9785452195920cb3c15.jpg]white dress[/url], unable to sit still.

	Finally, Caden’s car comes into view. I pick up my bag with the bowl and envelopes and dash down the steps. I don’t wait for Caden to get out, and I pile into the front seat.

	[color=#DB7093]”Do you have—”[/color] Caden cuts me off by handing me the cheque. [color=#DB7093]”It’s an odd amount?”[/color] I double-check it before slipping it into an envelope and sealing it. It was a lot of money. I give Caden a look.

	Cassiopeia didn’t tell me I had to wear white until this morning after Nero and I had gotten out of the shower. I wasn’t sure how long we had been in there, but when I checked my phone, there were five missed calls and multiple unread text messages, all from Cassi. She was panicking. Thankfully, I had a [url=https://www.datocms-assets.com/39109/1663849620-rege-jean-page-the-gray-man-dungeons-and-dragons-bridgerton-netflix-2.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&cs=srgb]white outfit[/url] I could wear. I tried not to linger with my goodbye to Nero, but it wasn't easy to drive away. Now, I was being yelled at by Cassi.

	[color=#006400]”Yes, [i]mon amour[/i]. You look lovely,”[/color] I tell her as I pull away from the house and head to the funeral location. The feng shui master was already there, meeting Nic and Mr. Wu for the first time to go over the burial location he had picked for the late Mrs. Wu.

	Cassi fidgets in the seat beside me and I rest my hand on her leg. [color=#006400][i]”Anail.”[/i][/color] She looks at me, frowning, but I take a deep breath in, waiting for her to do the same, and breathe out. We did this a couple of times before she settled.

	[color=#DB7093]”You smell like sex,”[/color] she tells me. I laugh, removing my hand from her leg.

	[color=#006400]”It was a fun night,”[/color] I say with a wink.

	[color=#DB7093]”You are shameless,”[/color] she tells me. I laugh again, but I can see her smiling.
