“Are you okay?” Rob asked, his face filled with concern.
I nodded as my head started to clear. “I remember.”
“Thank God,” he sighed. “Anything useful?”
“Yeah,” I croaked out. “I guess now would be the time to tell you that we’re married.”

I blinked.
“You’re not saying anything.”
“I’m…We’re married?”
The wince on her face said it all. “I should have told you sooner.”
“You knew?” I exclaimed. “Like, before we ran in here?”
“I wasn’t sure! I mean, my sister said that we showed up in town and announced it to everyone, but we could have been bluffing!”
“Right, because everyone does that as a joke,” I seethed. “God, this explains so much.”
“It wasn’t like I was keeping it from you,” she snapped.
Anger rose inside me as I turned to face her. “You didn’t tell me.”
“Right, but?—”
“Therefore, you hid it from me!” I shouted.
The bride and groom turned from where they stood at the altar, giving us dirty looks.
“Please, continue.”
I shook my head, trying to wrap my brain around all this. How could we be married? That didn’t even make sense. We were on the run from bad guys, and now I was supposed to believe that somewhere in the middle of that, we decided to get hitched?
“You said you remembered. Tell me everything.”
Swallowing hard, she looked up at me with those gorgeous eyes, batting her lashes at me. Yeah, that wasn’t gonna make me any less angry that she hid the truth from me.
“I came out here for a change of pace. You know my brother got married.”
“I vaguely remember,” I said, my voice hinting at boredom.
“Well, everyone’s doing something with their lives. My sister was pregnant. Two of my brothers are married. And me…I’m just lost.”
“So, you decided to find the first available male and latch onto him for life!”
“That wasn’t how it happened,” she snapped. “You were just as complicit as I was.”
“Right, like I’d believe anything you say.”
Frustrated, she shook her head at me. “Do you want to hear what happened or not?”
I wasn’t entirely sure, but if I wanted answers of any kind, I had no choice but to listen. “Fine. Go ahead.”
