Once the driver brought the script home, Ivy returned to her room to recite her script.
Avery pulled Layla aside and said, "Preparation for the wedding is almost done. When do you want to have the wedding?" "Just any day after New Year's, I guess!" Layla said.
"You need to pick a date! Once you select the date, you will need to send out the invites to your family and friends." Avery pulled up the calendar on her phone and showed it to Layla. "Your dad and I don't have any date in mind. Maybe you should ask Eric's parents." "They are probably okay with anything we decide as well!" Layla grabbed the phone and randomly picked a date on the calendar. "First of March, then! We can't have it on Valentine's as I had not expected the preparations to be done this quickly. I haven't even sent out the invitations!" "That should work. I will tell Elliot about it now." "Let's go tell him together!" Layla took Avery's hand and asked, "Mom, are you going to cry at my wedding?" "Do you wantto?" Avery asked. She did not know the answer to that question either.

"I already discussed it with him. He is going hto rest, and I will stay here. This is our first New Year's celebration with Ivy, so I must be here. We need to take a family photo after the countdown, and then I'm going to drop Ivy off to work." Layla had everything planned.
"Sure." Avery could sense that Layla had grown more mature ever since she got married.
Night fell and Avery turned on the television, flipping the channels till she got one that was airing New Year's programs. The children were setting off fireworks in the garden.
Ivy saw the firework from her window and could not help but set her script aside and join the others.
"Ivy, are you done with memorizing your script?" Layla asked.
"Almost." Ivy could hardly focus as there were too many people playing outside her room. She kept getting distracted by the urge to join the others. e "Don't worry. There's the teleprompter, right? Just take a break." Layla patted her on the head.
"Okay. The fireworks look so beautiful!" Ivy felt at peace as she looked at the splendid colors blooming across the sky.

"We are going to start half an hour earlier so that you can go to work after the fireworks show." hovels "Layla, I feel so blessed!" "Me, too," Layla said. "Let'se hto spend New Year's with Mom and Dad every year from now on, okay?" "Of course!" Ivy agreed without hesitation.
