Beth:Milo has definitely salvaged my faith in men. He's a good guy.

Evie:I can vouch for that. He and Fraser have gotten close lately. He's 100% trustworthy.

Hannah:Speaking of your fiancé, any update on the wedding front?

Evie:Yes! Apparently it is possible to have wedding-related PTSD. Fraser and I are currently taking part in a world-first study group.

Beth:Using humor to deflect is MY thing, thank you very much.

Evie: x 3

Evie:We're taking a break from wedding plans which is annoying the life out of both our mothers. Eloping is looking VERY attractive right about now.

Summer:If it's what you guys want to do, go for it!

Hannah:Exactly. But please record it since we would like to see the ceremony.

Evie:I'm, like, 60% kidding. But I'll keep you all updated.

Amiel:What about you, Hannah? Any news from Italy?

Hannah:Actually, yes, I do have an announcement to make.

Beth:Good or bad? I need to prepare myself.

Hannah:Good. Very good.

Hannah:Culver and I are returning to Comfort Bay at the end of the summer!

Evie:Woohoooooooooo!!!!

Summer:

Beth:It's going to be so good to have you back!!

I've missed Hannah so much, I'm glad she's coming home.

Summer:Circling back to Beth, what's next for you and Milo and your us-ship (which I love, btw)?

Beth:He's taking me on our first official date this Friday.

Evie:Ooh, exciting! Where?

Beth:I have no idea. He won't tell me.

Amiel:Isn't the Comfort Bay Fair happening this weekend?

Evie:It is!

Amiel:He might take you there. That'd be cute.

Beth:It would be.

Beth:I'm looking forward to it.

Hannah:I'm happy for you. Also happy that you have FINALLY settled on whether you like him or hate him. I think you've made the right choice.

I frown at her message, not liking the guilt that bubbles up inside me.
