“Are you cheating?” You ask Claire quietly, as she stops talking about whatever she is talking about and looks at you sternly. “What?” She hisses “the ring...

As the girls giggled and joked, you stared at the happy married couple, dancing and smiling as they looked at each other with love in their eyes, nothing to stop them from loving each other.
