The last time I felt like this...

Chapter 23 , "In life, after life, in age after age, forever..."

The families arrived a few days before the wedding. Candy's brothers and sisters were all living in her apartment. Candy was so happy to have her whole family with her. Her parents, Ronnie and her husband, had a room in a hotel.

Candy and Terry continued working together, despite their families protestations. Ronnie went to see her at her office.

- You have to take a few days off, said Ronnie.

- Why? Said Candy, we're paying people to plan our wedding.

- Why would we want to be apart from each other? Said Terrence...

- But...

- Ronnie, calm down. Everything is going to be fine. All Terrence and I have to do, is show up for the ceremony...I don't need any stress with the planning.

- Ok, said her sister holding her growing belly, as you wish. I have to go eat something spicy... see you later...

- See you later, said Candy smiling.

- Bye, said Terry.

When they found themselves alone in the office, Terrence asked her:

- You're really not stressed at all?

- Just a little, said Candy, it's the last part of the story, Candy and Terry have to get married too...

- Well we're together, which is already a very big thing.

- Their love, our love, was so strong, that it fought through the time barriers so we could be together...

- Their first separation was a crime, said Terrence.

- This time, against all odds, we're going to get married... by the way, what are the members of the board saying?

- Well, they're happy to know that we're getting married.

- They were afraid I'd sue you for sexual harassment? Even if you were really a lout, I wouldn't have done it. I think it's ridiculous....no one can force you to do what you don't want to. Harassment or not, if you consent, you're responsible... but if I were fired because I refused to sleep with my boss.... That's another story...

- Tomorrow, we're going to be together for better or worse...

Candy hugged him closing her eyes. She prayed that tomorrow happens without an itch...

The night before the wedding, Ronnie and Candy's friends had a bachelorette party. They were all girls: there were some girls from the office, Candy's friends; Dora, Fifi, Francesca... This last one was getting along better with Candy and especially to learn that she was getting married had reassured her.
