Stella, cautious about not overdoing it before the big day, barely touched her drink.
Miley, on the other hand, downed several glasses one after the other.
Soon, she was slurring her words.
Stella tried to convince her to slow down on the drinks, but Miley just hugged her tightly and nuzzled her face against Stella’s.
Clutching Stella around the waist and resting her head on her shoulder, Miley slurred affectionately, “Stella, it’s wonderful. I can’t wait to see you get married.”
Though slightly drunk, her eyes shimmered with genuine emotion. “When you first married Matthew, it was all so rushed. It’s just a marriage certificate, and that’s it. I was worried you’d rushed into things without a moment to be happy. But look at you now, about to build a beautiful Life with a great guy.”
As she spoke, Miley let out a snort and declared, “He better treat you right. If he ever mistreats you, I swear I’ll make him regret it…”
Miley was quite talkative.
Stella felt both amused and touched by her friend’s words. She fought back tears and said, “Miley, you’re drunk.”
“No, I’m just really happy!” Miley denied being drunk. She slung her arm around Stella’s shoulders and continued, “We’ve been friends for so long. I couldn’t be happier seeing you happy. You have to be happy, okay?”

She clearly looked drunk, her expression a mix of confusion and charm.
Hearing the sincerity in her words, Stella grasped her hand and replied, “Thank you, Miley. It means so much to have you in my life.”
Miley tilted her chin up with pride. “Of course. We’re best friends after all!”
Stella nodded vigorously. “Absolutely, I’ll do everything I can to be happy. And you and Neville need to be happy too.”

Miley nodded back, her enthusiasm growing as she raised her glass.
“We’re all going to be happy.”
Miley got too much to drink and fell asleep. Matthew, knowing the girls were having a party at the hotel, arranged a suite upstairs.
Once Stella and Juliette settled Miley into bed, they headed to the living room.
Stella got Juliette some water and sat beside her. Miley’s drunken muttering echoed now and then.
Stella giggled.
Juliette smiled too, taking a sip of water. “Are you feeling nervous?” she asked.
Stella nodded and said, “A little. Even though everything is ready, and I’ve been married to Matthew for almost two years, this is our first wedding. It feels different.”
She fidgeted with her fingers, realizing tomorrow was the big day.
Time seemed to be flying, and she was a bit scared too.
