Penny's aunt

[PRESENT TIME] 

"Ahh…" Grace rocked her head, narrowing her eyes as she processed Penny's crazy story. "So that's why, huh?" 

"You don't believe me?" Penny frowned. "Since when have I ever lied to you?" 

The corners of Grace's lips curled up. "Never. You might lie all the time, but not to me—I'm your lawyer." 

"Exactly." Penny let out a shallow breath and leaned back. "It was crazy! Even now, I can't believe everything we went through." 

"I wouldn't either if I were you," Grace shrugged. "I guess… it wasn't really a honeymoon, after all." 

"I can't even call it a vacation. More like… an adventure." 

"Haha. Oh, Penny." A soft sigh slipped past Grace's lips as she shook her head, feeling a little sorry for her friend.
