I know someone who can write you a great love story… or tragedy. Your choice.

Before I can respond, the DJ’s voice booms through the speakers. “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the wedding party!”

We line up outside the main doors. The coordinator has us in our new pairs - me with Juliette, Emma with Garrett who won’t make eye contact with anyone.

“Maid of honor Juliette Chastain and groomsman Romeo Rodriguez!”

We walk in together to applause. Someone, probably one of Owen’s college friends, wolf whistles. Juliette’s hand tightens on my arm.

“Everyone’s staring at your face,” she murmurs.
