“Well, that all depends,” I ruined the night I had planned for us, and I' a dickhead, but I don't want to wait another moment

Her little feet dangle off the ground as I hold her to me, my face in her hands as she kisses the hell out of ainsthave been watching us for some time, cheer and holler

I won't wait tohome in a couple of days, and I want to marry her as soon as is humanly possible Why wait? She's h, she'll be my wife

What to do about her father? Now that's the question, because he won't stop until he has her back I'll kill him first, but there's always the possibility that he could kidnap her and hurt her
