next morning.
she woke up to the sound of her alarm at eight in the morning and immediately began packing her suitcase, having put it off until the last minute. running around her room trying to find everything she had brought from her apartment, she almost misses the knock on her door.
"nini," jane calls in a sing-song voice, "we need to have one last sister talk before you leave."
"ok... what about exactly?" she asks as jane begins folding some of the clothes nini placed on her bed.
"you," she points to her for emphasis, "are going to talk to ricky about your falling out. and don't play dumb because you know exactly what i'm talking about."
"god, you and seb are both on my ass about that," she sighs, turning to look at her sister.
"as we should be, nini. the lack of communication between you and ricky is so frustrating. and now you're jumping into this whole scheme as if you haven't ignored each other for the last four years. it's toxic."

jane laughs and stands up to hug her sister. "wedding invitations are coming out in a few months," she whispers, pulling away from the hug.
"i still think it's way too soon. are you sure you're okay with this? mom's aren't forcing you into this, right?" nini questions, concern lacing her tone.
