“You should’ve told me last night.”
“I didn’t get the chance.”
Randy and Erica were on the verge of a full–blown argument when Debra interjected, ” Exactly, no time. Randy came back and passed out. How could he even bring up the wedding?”

“Never,” he admitted with a grin, “but this time, I want to.”
“Why? Afraid breaking the rules will bring bad luck?”
