(July 13, one day before Sophia's and Felix's wedding)
Early afternoon, girls met in the lounge area of the spa: Sophia, JoAnna, Sarah, Bridgette, Jessica, Brie, Maddie. They are chatting and enjoying snacks and beverages while waiting for Isabella and Leah.
Jessica, Brie and Maddie are Sophia's friends from Harvard University. Jessica and Maddie are living on East Coast, and Brie is in San Francisco. All three are ladies in their mid-to-late twenties, with bright personalities. They seem ready to party and easy to get along with.
"Don't get us wrong. We are not so cheerful usually.", Jessica told Bridgette. "Most of the time we are boring lawyers. But right now, we are in party mode celebrating that Sophia is getting off the market!"
"Yes, yes!", Brie added. "With Sophia off the market, there will be more hunks for us!"
They all laughed.
"Oh, feels like I'm back in college again!", Jessica exclaimed.
