Everything begins flooding back to me in quick bursts

Drinks

Kissing

Laughter

Confessions of love and desire

A wedding chapel

Vows

Rings

A contract

“We’re married,” I whisper “Holy shit” It’s all I’ve ever wanted—to be with Xander, but not like this Never like this “My brother is going to kill us”

Xander’s face contorts with…is that irritation?

“Why does it matter what your brother thinks?”

I scoff “Because he’s my brother and your best friend”

Xander clenches his jaw and looks away

I tumble from the bed and scour the floor for my clothes I can feel his eyes oninto a tomato I find my dress and slip it over my head Fuck a bra, I just need some clothes on
