And without hesitating, I sealed my precious fate.
“Done.”

Kelly
A Week Later (Friday)
Istared at Roxy as she came out of her bedroom. The black dress she wore fell off her shoulders and accented the sparkling diamond necklace that settled itself perfectly against her bosom. The white belt around her waist accented the curves I was very envious of, and her long legs poured forth from beneath the flowing black skirt that danced with intricate white flowers sewn into the skirt itself. Her diamond bracelet matched her necklace, a set she got two years ago from our father on her birthday. And as her heels clicked across the floor towards me, the wonderful berry smell of her body spray wafted up my nose.
“I’m pretty sure the rule isn’t to outshine the bride,” I said.
She smirked. “Well, get married for real one day, and I won’t try to.”
I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, like that’s going to ever happen at this rate.”
“Hey, you’ve got a man fake marrying you today. That’s more than what I’ve ever gotten.”
“Says the girl who’s gotten more gifts from men than from our own damn father.”
She looked down at my bag. “That’s all you need?”
I peeked at it. “What?”
“You’ve only got two.”
“Well, yeah. Why?”
“You’re going to be in a penthouse honeymoon suite for a week, Kelly. You need more than two bags.”
“I’m pretty sure the point is to be in as little clothes as possible for the week. Right?”
She grinned. “You freaky little thing, you.”
“What?! Roxy, the whole point of this--.”
“Girl, I’m just messin’ with you.”
But, it didn’t stop her from putting her hands on my shoulders and looking directly into my eyes.
“Don’t ask again. I’m tired of answering the question,” I said.
“One more time. For me, okay?” she asked.
“Fine. Ask.”
“Are you sure, without a shadow of a doubt, this is what you want?”
I nodded. “Yes. It is.”
“And you don’t have any reservations?”
“None whatsoever.”
“And you two have talked about this? Extensively?”
“All this past week, every single day, and sometimes multiple times a day. He didn’t make a single decision without asking me first.”
