demeanor, he uttered, “Hello, Sadie.”

“It’s been quite a minute, Zayden.”

any substantive information from him. She contemplated relinquishing her inquiries but opted to broach
a different subject, smiling as she broached the topic of her impending wedding.
“By the way, Holden and I are set to exchange vows next month. You must come!”
Upon hearing this, Zayden regarded her with a knowing smile and replied cryptically, “I shall certainly
be in attendance. Fortunately, your wedding is drawing quite near. Otherwise, the wedding’s leading
roles may have to be changed.”
Those words caused Sadie’s heart to skip a beat, but she forced a smile and inquired, “What exactly do
you mean by that?”

facade of ignorance and asked, “What’s the connection between Ariana and my union with Holden?”
However, Zayden’s grin remained, his eyes fixed on her with an intelligent glint as he uttered slowly,
“Your enchanting love story with Holden has become a fireside tale in the entire Fredrick clan.
After an odyssey of years fraught with twists and turns, they all claim that my cousin has at last chosen
to wed the woman who held his heart five years ago.”
He leaned forward slightly, his index finger doing a gentle tap-dance on the tabletop.
“But in the final analysis, you alone discern the cadence of your own heart.”

silence, her complexion betraying her inner turmoil.
