Wendy answered the call, and Halsey’s cheerful voice came through. “Are you still in the Capital? Let’s hang <b>out</b><b>!</b>”
<b>“I </b>don’t have time today. I’m at the courthouse.”
There was a pause on the other end, then Halsey gasped. “The courthouse?”
“Yes,” Wendy said quietly. “Stanley and I are getting our marriage license.”
What?!

Halsey practically exploded with excitement. “Why didn’t you tell me you were marrying Stanley again? You’ll be my cousin–<b>in- </bw now! This is amazing. I always knew you and Stanley belonged together!”
Wendy smiled softly. “Let’s get together another day.”
After Wendy hung up, the courthouse staff called out, “Number 18 Number 18, pleasee forward to register!<b>” </b>
Wendy nced down at the number slip in her hand–number 18. It was her turn to marry Stanley.
She looked outside but saw no sign of Stanley’s tall, strong figure.
He said he was on his way, so why wasn’t he here yet?
“Number 18! Is number 18 here?”
Wendy stepped forward quickly. “Hello, I’m number 18.”
The clerk frowned. “Why are you alone? Where’s your fiancé?”
“Sorry, he got held up. You can let the couple behind me go first.”
The clerk raised an eyebrow. “Getting a marriage license is a big deal in life. How could he bete for something like this?”
Wendy felt a chill run through her. She didn’t know why Stanley waste, either.
“He’s probably busy with work. It’s okay. I’ll wait for him.”
The clerk nodded. “Alright. Take a seat. Number 19, pleasee forward.”
Wendy stepped outside the courthouse and dialed Stanley’s number. The phone rang again and again, but no one answered.
He wasn’t picking up!
She called a few more times, still no answer. What on earth was he doing?
Suddenly, a notification popped up regarding messages in their WhatsApp group.
Cecelia asked in the group, [Wendy, are you really remarrying Mr. Hawk?]
Halsey replied, [Yes, she’s at the courthouse now. She must have already gotten the license with Stanley!]
Cecelia grumbled about Stanley. [That guy sure is lucky to have Wendy willing to give him another chance. But this is thest time–if he messes it up again, he won’t be so lucky next time!]
Halsey added firmly, [Of course. If Stanley lets Wendy down again, I’ll be the first to disapprove.<b>] </b>
Cecelia continued. [<b>Hey</b><b>, </b>why isn’t Wendy replying?]
Halsey replied, [She’s probably with Stanley now. Let’s not disturb the newlyweds today.]
Cecelia relented. [Alright. Wendy, congrattions on getting hitched!]

<b>Halsey </b>chimed <b>in</b><b>, </b><b>[</b><b>Wishing </b><b>you </b>both happiness!<b>) </b>
Wendy read the messages<b>, </b>but didn’t reply. She didn’t know what to say since Stanley still hadn’t shown up.
Back inside the courthouse<b>, </b>Wendy sat down, determined. Since she had promised to marry him, she would wait here <b>until </b>he
arrived.
Hours passed–one hour, two, three, four…
Finally<b>, </b><b>a </b>staff member approached her gently.
<b>“</b>Is your fiancé showing up? We’re about to close for the day.”
