SATURDAY, JUNE 29TH

49 DAYS UNTIL I CAN LEAVE

“Why don’t you just tell me?” I ask Miles as I follow him into the kitchen.

“Because,” he says, opening the fridge, “you already agreed to go.”

“And you’re afraid I’ll back out once I know what it is?” I ask.

He pulls the water pitcher out, fills his glass, and drinks the whole thing, while smirking at me.

“Come on, Miles,” I say. “I hate surprises.”

“Then you should’ve asked questions before you said you’d go with me,” he says.

“Are we skydiving?” I ask.

He refills the pitcher at the sink. “I doubt it.”

“Does what we’re doing involve heavy manual labor?” I ask.

He puts the pitcher back in the fridge. “Go put on something nice, Daphne. We have to leave soon.” He squeezes past me to leave the kitchen.

“Funeral?” I call after him.

He pauses and looks back at me. “Closer.”

“Please tell me that’s a joke,” I say.

His smirk splits into a grin. “You can wear red, if that’s what you’re asking.”

“A funeral for someone you hate?” I say.

He laughs and ducks away. “Be ready in half an hour,” he says, somewhere out of view.

In my bedroom, I put on the only really nice dress I have, the same backless black one I wore to my engagement party and to Cherry Hill with Ashleigh that first night. She and Julia are out at a local jazz club tonight, so I message them in a group chat: do either of you know where Miles and I are going?

Julia writes, he still hasn’t told you?

Ashleigh says, lmao yes I do.

I send a bunch of question marks.

Julia says, oh my god she just told me

What is it, I ask.

Ashleigh only replies with a winky face. Julia adds, take lots of pics PLEASE.
