“Welcome to the Kenni Shepherd Exclusive Husband Club. Now, are you going to kiss me or not?” Kenni presses on her toes, planting a tender wet kiss to my lips that I return two-fold.
The diamond earrings I gifted her as a wedding present sparkle under twinkling lights. I lovingly fiddle with a loose hair that was framing her face and tuck it behind her ear. The band hits their first notes of our song.
Our eyes lock during this magical moment. We’re lost in each other’s happiness.
“Yes, I’m going to kiss my wife all night long,” I declare, my voice strangled by emotion.
In the castle’s honeymoon suite, we’re surrounded by gray stone walls, sheer fabrics strung over the bed and candles on every surface. The world around us fades to black, celebrating being husband and wife. Our lips meet in sweet embraces, sealing our love with sweaty bodies and tender moments.

Melissa
Melissa was going home. It had been six years. Six long, independent years away from the God-forsaken swamps she had grown up in, besides quick visits where she barely had enough time to unpack. Six years hadn't been enough. Her stomach roiled with nerves as she thought about what going home meant.
She hadn't dreaded her homecoming, but she had fought tooth and nail to leave her small town. Coming back seemed like admitting defeat. It was all she had ever wanted growing up; it was all she had dreamed of as a teenager. To leave. To define herself, not by the house she grew up in or the boy she dated in freshman year, but by her accomplishments. She could only do that if she left. So, at eighteen, she had packed up and got the Hell out. But, now she was back. Soon she would be walking around town to hear the whispers. Slut. Whore. People had long memories of her hometown.
All the mean-spirited names her classmates had blessed her with trailed behind her as she descended the escalator of the airport. She made no attempt to go faster and walk with the movement of the machine. She only held on as the motorized conveyance forced her to the airport's first floor and the familiar feel of sub-tropical humidity filtering through the sliding glass doors. Welcome to the Gulf South.
Her mother was waiting by baggage claim, like the dutiful parent she was pretending to be. There was no mistaking that posture or that perfectly styled hair. How it stayed styled and teased in this humidity was one of those mysteries of life. Her mother's face lit up the moment she laid eyes on Melissa. The older woman was pristine, in a yellow pantsuit, her hair styled in the same textured bob it had been arranged for the last twenty years. For as long as Melissa could remember, she kept her Friday 8am appointment at the local hairdresser with no deviations. As she approached her mother, she noticed a few more wrinkles around her eyes, but her neck looked firmer than ever. A little work done? She would never ask her mother. You didn't ask things like that.
Melissa barely made it within arm's length before she was yanked forward and enveloped in a hug, her mom's wet cheek pressed against her shirt since she was so much smaller than Melissa. The smell of her perfume filtered up to Melissa. It was both comforting and unsettling. Like her hair, her scent hadn't changed in decades. Chanel No. 5.
