The moment we touched back down in Pennsylvania ent and applied for our etting married

I look down at the ring on er and run my thumb over it It’s still hard to coined I guess you would call that weekend we had away our honeyet out of town after we said I do

I stand in Ryat’s bathroo at myself in his mirror My hair is up in a French twist, my makeup done heavily with silver and black eye shadoith thick black liner on top and bottom, with extra thick mascara and matte red lips
