Impulsive decision

"Wedding?" Adelynn finally managed to sputter. "When is the wedding?"

"The fifth of next month!" Daphne replied with zeal.

Adelynn's voice climbed an octave. "So soon?"

Esme's heart lurched. The date. It was the very same one that had been previously set for their wedding. She couldn't believe he had chosen that date. Why was he hurrying into this marriage?

It was good that Julian was moving on, but this felt…impulsive. Like a decision made in haste, fueled by raw emotions. She felt it was wrong.

A frown creased her brow. 'Shouldn't he take a beat, give himself and Daphne some time to truly connect before diving headfirst into marriage?' Esme thought.
