“I’m coming.”

“Really?”

“Girl, obviously. You think I’m finna let you marry Roman’s big ass without me standing there?”

Her laugh got louder.

My phone buzzed against my ear.

I pulled it away.

**KAI CALLING.**

“Speaking of big-ass Devereaux men, your future brother-in-law calling me.”

“Zari—” Sol started.

“I’ll see you soon. Stop panicking.”

“I’m not panicking,” she insisted.

Another message popped across my screen while she was still talking.

**SOL:** What am I supposed to wear???

I rolled my eyes.

“You’re already texting me and we’re still on the phone.”

“I’m nervous!” Sol cried.

“I know. Get off my phone.”

“Love you.”

“Love you too.”

I hung up and immediately answered Kai.

“What?”

“Bring your ass outside,” Kai said.

I frowned. “Excuse me?”

“We outside.”

“Who is we?”

“Me, Ma, and the baby. Come on.”

In the background, Sugga’s voice exploded through the phone.

“Tell her don’t come out here looking any kind of way either! We got a wedding to go to!”

Then Halo started babbling.

I blinked. “What the hell is happening?”
