NovelEnglishAurora's wedding was fast approaching, and the preparations were in full swing.
Craig, a rugged man's man, wasn't much help in these matters. His go-to response these days was a simple, "Whatever makes you happy." Exhausted, Aurora flopped down in the middle of her bed one evening, too tired even to think about taking a shower.

"We've got our photoshoot at the beach tomorrow morning, gotta leave by seven. If you go hnow, you'll barely sleep before you have to cback and pickup!" "Yeah, so I'll pick you up." Sometimes Aurora was tempted to crack open Craig's head just to see how his brain worked.
"Why don't you just stay here? It'd save us both stin the morning." "No need." "" Saying more would seem too eager, and Aurora felt awkward enough as it was. "Fine, then. Go."

That turned her cheeks scarlet, and she glared at him. "I'm asking you to stay over, not for... that!" It was just the inconvenience she minded, nothing else! "Yeah, sure, I believe you.' Ever since they'd becintimate, Craig seemed more at ease, even cracking the occasional joke.
It was as if that moment had settled his insecurities about their relationship, steadying the ship with a firm hand.
Aurora threw a pillow at him, which Craig caught easily.
Before anyone could speak, her phone rang.
It was her mom.

"That's good," Dorothy Sanchez was worried about her daughter going out late alone. “Letknow if you find him." "Will do." After hanging up, Aurora grabbed her car keys.
Craig followed. "I'll cwith you." "Thanks!" Miles had returned to Eldorria City.

"It's over... Everything's gone..." swn Miles drained the last of his bottle and neatly placed it aside.
