"KEEP YOUR HEAD UP NO MATTER what june." george says as the carriage approached the chapel in france. lady danbury's ball wasn't for another week. george tried to convince juniper many times to attend her fathers wedding and eventually he got through to her.

"george why would i go to his wedding?!" juniper shouted at her husband a few days ago. "va pour moi." he says with his botched french accent as juniper lets out a small giggle. "what?" he asks offended.

"nothing my love, nothing. it was great. i will go... for you." juniper says as george caught the nickname she slid in there. "ok. great." he says clearing his throat as a blush takes over his face.

"j'ai la tête haute.." she says annoyed as he rolls his eyes, secretly happy at the fact he was finally sort of able to understand what she was saying. as they walked into the chapel junipers stomach dropped.

she could barely pay attention to the people moving out of her and george's way, bowing to them as she made it to the front. she saw her father standing at the alter as he lazily waved to her.

she then felt a warm hand snake over her own as she sat down. "do not worry. it will be over soon, and we'll be gone." george says as juniper nods. "je t'aime." juniper says absentmindedly as george's face flushes red.

little did juniper know he had been looking over and studying that phrase more than any other in the book. as the pianist began playing everyone began to stand for the bride. as juniper was about to stand, solely out of respect, george pulled her down.

"george?" she asks as she stares at him. "we don't stand at weddings. only if we deeply truly wish to." george says as juniper nods. as the woman made it down the isle juniper to notice to her graying brunette hair, almost same as her fathers and the smile on her face.

juniper scoffed to herself as her father grabbed the woman's hand and began reciting his vows. "my dear catherine. i never thought i'd find another love. i was empty. i had no one. then i found you." he says as juniper gets up out of her seat and storms out, carrying her elegant gown out with her.

as she wandered outside she made her way to a garden as she sat on the floor, her back to a vine wall. "i'm getting a bit of deja vu, june.." george says as he finds his wife sitting in the garden.

"what?" she asks fed up with his jokes. "here we are, in a garden.. again. but only this time you do not wish to run away from me." george says as juniper lets out a small laugh. "well in my defense if anyone would've answered the question i had been asking them, i would've considered not trying to escape." juniper says as she shrugs.

"what question?" george asks with a laugh. "if you were good looking- although i do recall accidentally asking about your bits.. toutes mes excuses." juniper says, quickly apologizing at the end.

"my bits? seriously june?.." george asks with a laugh as he takes a seat next to his wife. "i'm sorry i had to know, but i didn't even get the answer.." she says as she shrugs. "i think you have.." george mumbles as she playfully shoves him.

"did you just shove the king?!" george asks with a sarcastic gasp. "i'm truly sorry your majesty..." juniper says as she runs her hand across his jaw. as he leans in for a kiss she pulls away. "seriously juniper?" george asks.

"remember what you did the other day george? you've started a war, your majesty." juniper says as she stands up, brushing off her gown. "let me help.." george insists as he cleans off junipers dress.

"thank you." she says as she takes his hand. as soon as they got back the wedding had finished and now it was time for the after party which was at junipers old home. as they arrived juniper instantly took george's hand and snuck him up to her old bedroom.

"this room is beautiful." george says looking out of her bay window into a tulip field. "look up." she says smiling and as he does junipers heart melts at the sight. "wait.. this whole thing is a telescope?!" he asks as he maneuvers a switch.

"cool isn't it?" she says as she admires his smile. they talk for a little while before george speaks up. "you are astronomical. you know that?" he asks juniper as his hand cups her jaw. "don't flatter me george." she mocks as he laughs.

"i'd be lying if i said it wasn't true though." george admits as junipers bedroom door opens making their heads perch up.
