POV: JASMINE
I have been feeling a bit too weak lately. It had been four days since we returned from the Maldives, yet my body still felt sluggish and drained. At first, I thought it was the stress from the entire trip, but now I was beginning to think otherwise. Could it be that I caught the flu during our stay there? I couldn't afford that right now. My birthday was in eleven days, and the last thing I wanted was to look pale and exhausted on a day that was meant to be… perfect. The reality hit me mildly. Eleven days. And I hadn't even begun preparations yet. Luna Jorja was probably already deep into planning, shaping everything into her own version of perfect. But I also had some things I'd like to add to her 'perfect' list. Scrap that. This year's birthday is meant to be very significant. I needed to be in full control, not just a passive guest at my own event. She would have to work with me. Not the other way around.
