Chapter 4: Your Time Is Up
"You look amazing." Brandon told her. "And I mean that."
Thank you." Sarah hugged him. "How are you and Shauna doing?"
"Strangely well." He nodded.
"He's really not coming, huh?" Sarah asked. "I figured he would have."
"Did you expect him to?" Brandon shook his head.
"No." Sarah sighed. "Have you talked to him recently?"
"About a month ago." Brandon stated. "I'm sorry it didn't work out for you guys. Sarah, before he met you, he'd never had a serious relationship. We were both players. With you, it was different."
"I made up my mind, Brandon." Sarah told him. "As much as I want my best friend to be here, I'm not calling off the wedding for him. I'm going to get married today."
"Good luck out there." Brandon said as he left.
"Thank you." Sarah smiled. "And to you, with Shauna."
Brandon exits moments before Illiana walks in with Monique. They rush over to Sarah and hug her.
"How's my favorite fashion designer?" Sarah asked her.
"Busy." Illiana gave her the once over. "The dress...it's perfect."
"You know that because you designed it." Sarah chuckled.
"It was worth it." Illiana smiled. "Are you ready for this?"
"Yeah." Sarah wiped her eyes. "I am ready to say 'I do' to Phil."
"Okay." Illiana pinned Sarah's veil atop of her head. "There…perfect. "
"Ready?" Brandon asked when he walked in again.
"Yes." Sarah linked her arm in his. "Thank you for walking me down the aisle. Miguel was supposed to but he left. We're about to make history, Brandon."
