It started out as a normal day at the cabin. Pancakes for breakfast, tanning on the boat for the girls, and plenty of projects/ cleaning being completed by the boys. We were all relaxing and enjoying the sunshine until church and dinner, which was scheduled for 4 o’clock.

Not suspecting a thing, I headed into the cabin to get ready for the night. I borrowed a sundress from my roommate earlier in the week, and was debating on if I wanted to hop in the shower or not. I'm really glad that I decided to shower and wash my hair.

After everyone was ready to go, we got in the car to drive to church. We were on the road for 10 minutes chatting and listening to music, when Mark realized he “forgot his work phone” at the cabin. I was kind of thinking, hmmmm this is strange? I turned to look at Luke, who was as calm as ever. He even brought up another friend’s proposal in the car ride.

We ended up back at the cabin and Mark and Megan went inside to get his work phone. Everyone seemed very casual and it didn’t seem like there was anything suspicious going on inside.
