With wedding planning out of the way, Claire was able to focus on finishing her last semester strong. She went to a regional track meet and watched Ethan take home first place and she was so proud of him that it helped her power through her last-minute assignments and tests.
As she walked out of her last final she actually raised her hands to the sky, leaned her head back, and cackled. Her bachelor's degree hadn't defeated her after all!
Several passersby looked at her like she was crazy but she was in too good a mood to care. Alex made dinner the following night when he was off work to belatedly celebrate her success. They were saving going out to eat for when she actually graduated.
A lot would be happening this weekend. Her graduation was on Friday and her wedding was on Saturday. Sarah insisted on hosting a bachelorette party of sorts and she had no idea what that would entail but that was scheduled for Thursday.
