Chapter 41

"Brighten up, Audrey. Tonight is your night, all the eyes will be on you as you walk down that aisle." Liana said, her voice softening as she spoke.

"How can I brighten up after what happened?" I asked, and she sighed, looking down at her lap as she did.

"It starts with a smile." Maria said, sitting on the couch where her brother sat earlier. "A straight back, and a beautiful smile on your face, look at them and imagine them naked."

"Miley!" Liana's eyes widened as she looked at her sister who shrugged.
