And why it’s on her finger.

You got married last night, idiot.

No way.

That can’t be right.

Hooking up with Asia is one thing. I can make sense of that. She’s been on my mind since we ran into each other at Make It Marriage.

“I was angry. And lonely. And the last thing I wanted to do was call my guests and tell them the wedding was off.”

I reach out to her.

Think better of it.

Make my arm fall at my sides.

“You found me last night.” She swallows and her dainty throat bobs. “You asked me why I was alone.”

“I remember.”

“And I told you…” her voice is low and contemplative, “that all my friends were buying dresses, making hair appointments and turning down plans to come to my wedding. I told you I couldn’t face them.” She nods. “And you said…”
