Mia burst in, her arms full of things, shouting, "Annabelle, your husband will be here in a little over two hours! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Annabelle's first reaction was to freeze, but a second later, she sprang out of bed.
The sudden movement made her dizzy and she stumbled, but Annabelle didn't waste a second. She grabbed the items from Mia's hands and ran into the bathroom.
Worried she smelled of medicine, she took a ten-minute shower, scrubbing herself furiously and nearly using half a bottle of shower gel in the process.
Mia wasn't idle, either. She quickly got out Annabelle's makeup, curling iron, and other supplies.
"Mia," Annabelle called out from the shower, "how did you know Leona Grant was coming over?"
