Page 31 of When In Rome
“You know how we wouldn’t let Mom do the whole night apart thing with us like she did with Summer?”
“Yeah, I know.” I insisted on it.
“I was thinking…maybe there’s another tradition we could break.”
My hands go to her hips, “Oh yeah?”
I like where this is going.
I hear the sound of metal clicking into place seconds before something fuzzy touches my wrist. It takes me a full minute before I realize what she’s done, as I hold up our handcuffed wrists. The handcuffs are lined in a soft white fur that makes me fight back a chuckle.
“I don’t want to wait on walking down an aisle to you. It just isn't our style.”
My whole face lights up and my smile grows even bigger. My girl knows just what to give me, just what to do when I need it. “I like how you think. When did you get these?”
“While we were in Italy. The first wedding.”
My brow goes way up. “Really?”
“Apparently, I had a plan for them. And I just figured…if you can do it…,” she smiles up at me, “isn’t there an old saying…When In Rome…”
And that is how we walked down the aisle…handcuffed together and all caught up in each other. Which is how it should be!
The End!

Avery
What have I done? How could I have agreed to this knowing this is a special kind of hell for me?
