I’M THE ONE YOU AGREED TO MARRY, CRADLE ROBBER!

Holy fuck! How the hell did she find me?

Listen, kid! I agreed to nothing. Don’t email me ever again.

But the next day, when the initial shock has worn off, I scroll through her emails once again.

Autumnthefallqueen. What sort of email address is that?

My lips twitch. As much as I don’t like the sass of this girl, I can relate to the confusion she might be going through.

Before I change my mind, I type out a reply.

Hi, Autumn,

I think we got off on the wrong foot yesterday. Let me start by saying I understand the confusion and anxiety you must be feeling right now. I felt like I was in some badly written movie when my grandparents first told me about it. But there’s nothing to worry about.

I’m not interested in marrying you. At all.

Heck, if I remember right, you’re twelve years younger than me.

Why the hell did your family even tell you now?

From what I understood, according to the rules of this insane promise, you’re not supposed to find out about it until you’re eighteen.

- Lukas

Her reply is immediate.

Hi, Mr. Spencer,

My grandmother told me you agreed to the wedding. Didn’t you?

To answer your question…I sneaked out last night to watch a local band play and everything hit the fan. :/
