DreameNovelChapter 0008 25 BONUS Chapter 0008 Ella POV As we were heading into the building, I heard someone call my name. I turned around to find my parents walking toward us.
Not far behind them were David's parents and even Amanda's family with all of her siblings. It seemed this opening was a far bigger event than I had realized.
We now had quite a large group heading in to check out the shopping center together, but I couldn't have been happier. I wanted to savor this twith my parents since had a chance to do things over and keep my good relationship with them.
