My name is Alex Carter. When the plane landed in Harbor City, I still had a message from Ethan Brooks on my phone, sent seven days ago. It was just one line: [I'm getting married next Friday. Please come back.] He didn't mention who the bride was, how long they'd been together, or even send a photo. I stared at that line for three minutes. Then I tossed the overseas project files I'd just signed to my assistant and booked the earliest flight back to Harbor City. Ethan and I grew up together and we were thick as thieves since diapers. And now, just like that, he was getting married out of the blue. Not even a word in advance. Aren't we supposed to be best friends? I stared out the car window at the streets rushing past, my chest felt tight with anxiety.
