Funny.

Everything important in my life apparently happens through screens first.

“Yeah,” I say.

My voice comes out quieter than expected.

“I am.”

Sabine's expression changes.

Just slightly.

Drew ruins the moment exactly on schedule.

“Still pissed.”

I look back at the phone.

“About?”

“YOU GOT MARRIED WITHOUT US.”

“Yes.”

“We've been through everything.”

“Which is why I knew better.”

“I should have been best man.”

“We covered this.”

“I am bringing it up again.”

“You weren't invited.”

“Exactly. Betrayal.”

“You would've brought Sergei.”

Drew stops.

Then slowly smiles.

“That's actually a fantastic idea.”

“No.”

“I could've had him hold the rings.”

“No.”

“Walk Sabine down the aisle.”

“She walked barefoot through a field.”

The kitchen quiets.
