On the day before the ceremony, Matt arrived at the Grim pack in the morning, and shortly afterward Zoe and her date arrived as well, but unlike her brother, they had driven the entire way, because unless you owned a private jet, there was no flight into the Grim pack and a road trip was the only option available from Silver pack territory.
The sun was blazing and shining brightly over the pavements and the roofs of the pack houses in the Grim Pack, and Zoe watched the identical houses glide past from the car.
She had been looking forward to this day, hoping it would make up for the dry date they had already shared. She had tried to recreate some of the fun Viola had described having with her brother; the amusement park, winning a plushie and getting ramen noodles, but for some reason it hadn't come close to being half as enjoyable as she had imagined, and he hadn't won her a plushie at all.
